Okay, so, I’ve been eyeing those fancy Rolex watches for a while, especially that two-tone blue Submariner. You know, the one with the gold and that deep blue, like the ocean on a sunny day. It’s a real looker, but the price tag? Oof, way out of my league.
So, I started looking into these high-imitation ones. Yeah, yeah, I know what some folks say, “Save up for the real deal!” But honestly, who has that kind of cash lying around? Not me. I just wanted to see if I could get that classic Submariner look without, you know, selling a kidney.
First, I started asking around and reading all those watch forums online, which is like diving into the deep end without a life jacket. So much info, and so much, like, “You gotta get this specific reference number, the 16613 or was it the 126613LB? And, two-tone costs a lot more than steel, no surprise because of the gold, duh.” But after a while, it got a bit clearer. There’s this nickname, “Bluesy,” which is kinda cool. And the one with both 5513 and 5517, they call it a double reference, that is super rare. I didn’t really understand any of this at the beginning.
Then I looked into where to buy these things. There are so many websites. I had to check out all of them, make comparisons, and read reviews. Some people are super happy, others not so much. It’s a bit of a gamble, to be honest. But, I compared prices, read reviews, the whole nine yards.
Finally, I found one that looked pretty darn good. I mean, side-by-side with a real one, maybe you’d see a difference, but to my untrained eye? It looked great. So, I pulled the trigger and ordered it.
Waiting for it to arrive was torture! Every day I’m checking the tracking info, hoping it doesn’t get lost or something. Then, finally, it arrived.
- Unboxing it felt like Christmas morning.
- The weight felt good, not cheap.
- The blue is just as pretty as the pictures.
- The gold parts are shiny, not tacky.
I’ve been wearing it for a few weeks now, and I gotta say, I’m happy with it. It looks good, feels good, and it didn’t break the bank. Sure, it’s not a real Rolex, but it’s close enough for me. I even got a few compliments on it, which is always nice.
So, if you’re like me, wanting that two-tone blue Submariner style but without the crazy price tag, I’d say go for it. Do your research, find a reputable seller, and enjoy your new watch. It’s a fun way to rock that classic look without going broke. And who knows, maybe one day I’ll get the real thing. But for now, this high-imitation one is doing just fine.
