Okay, so, the other day I started to mess around with these fake Rolex watches, the ones they call “High imitation Rolex Two-tone Blue Submariner.” Sounds kinda fancy, right? I decided to see what the fuss was all about, so I got my hands on one.
First off, let me tell you, these things look pretty darn close to the real deal. I took it to a couple of specialty stores, just to compare, you know? The weight is there, around 130g as they told me, feels solid in your hand. The way it looks, with that blue and gold, it’s a real looker. But, and here’s the thing, when you start looking closer, you see the differences.
I compared it to a real Rolex Submariner, the “Bluesy” 16613, they call it. That blue on the real one, it’s deep, like looking into the ocean. But on these fakes, sometimes the blue is too bright, too shiny, you know? It’s like they tried too hard. Also, the real one, they say the blue is like sunshine, it changes. The fake one, it’s just blue.
So, I’m wearing this thing around, showing it off a bit, and I run into this watch guy. I won’t say where, but he knows his stuff. I asked him about the two-tone thing, and he tells me most people don’t dig it. It’s not all steel, not all gold, just looks off to some. He also mentioned only a bit of it is actually gold – the middle links, the crown, and the bezel. Said they’re rare, though, like that reference 5517, only 1,500 made.
My Adventure with the Two-tone Submariner
- Got the watch: Felt good, heavy, just like they said.
- Compared it: Took it to stores, looked at the real “Bluesy.”
- Noticed the blue: Real one’s deep, fake one’s too bright.
- Talked to a watch guy: Learned about two-tone, not everyone’s cup of tea.
- Realized it’s about the look: It’s a fun way to get that style without breaking the bank.
After all this, I figured out that these high imitation watches, they’re not about fooling anyone. It’s more about getting that classic style, that Rolex vibe, without spending a fortune. I wore it for a week, got some compliments, and felt pretty good about it. It’s a conversation starter, for sure.
But, yeah, if you’re thinking about getting one, just know what you’re getting into. It’s a good-looking watch, but it’s not a Rolex. It’s like enjoying a good cover band – you know it’s not the real thing, but it’s still a good time. That is what I did.
So, that’s my story about messing with these high imitation Rolex Two-tone Blue Submariner watches. It was a fun little experiment.
I bought it and played with it for a week. Then, I decided not to keep it. The quality wasn’t quite there, and it wasn’t really my style after all. But hey, it was a fun try!
That’s it. Remember, I am not saying you shouldn’t buy one. I’m just sharing what happened to me.
