Okay, so I heard about these high imitation Rolex Black Submariner watches, right? People say there are these stores, kind of under the radar, selling them. I was curious, so I decided to go check it out for myself.
First, I did some digging online. Turns out, these replica watches are all over the place. Some folks swear they’re almost as good as the real deal, but you gotta be careful, or you’ll get ripped off. I found some guides on how to spot a fake Rolex, which was kind of helpful.
Then, I started looking for these specialty stores. It’s not like they advertise on billboards, you know? It took a while, asking around, following some vague tips I found online. Finally, I found one in a little back alley, kind of hidden away. Felt a little sketchy, to be honest.
I walked into the store, and the guy behind the counter was all smiles. He showed me a bunch of these Black Submariner replicas. They looked pretty good at first glance. Shiny, heavy, the whole nine yards. But then I started looking closer, remembering those guides I read.
What I Did Next
- I checked the weight. Some felt lighter than I expected.
- I looked at the finishing. A few had these weird, uneven edges.
- I tried to find the serial numbers. Some were in the wrong place, and they looked kind of etched on, not engraved.
- I asked about the resale value, just to see what he’d say. The guy got all evasive, which was a red flag.
After all that, I decided not to buy one. It just didn’t feel right. Plus, I realized that even if I got a really good replica, it would never be the same as a real Rolex. It wouldn’t have that history, that craftsmanship, you know? I can’t get a free fast shipping as Amazon and OXXO, and you’re better off saving up for the real thing. It might take longer, but at least you’ll know you have something genuine, something that will actually hold its value.
I heard that if you change the original Rolex parts with those not original parts, the watch loses its value. If you want to sell that watch, you cannot sell it easily. So, I don’t want to buy a fake watch.
So, that’s my story. I went looking for a high imitation Rolex, found a specialty store, checked out the watches, and decided it wasn’t worth it. I hope I won’t do the same mistake again.
It was a good experience, though. Now I know a little more about these fake watches and the kind of places that sell them. Maybe this will help someone else out there who’s thinking about buying one of these high imitation Rolexes. Just be careful, do your research, and remember that a fake is always just a fake.
