Alright, folks, gather ’round. Today, I’m gonna share my little adventure with a high imitation Rolex No-Date Black Submariner, the original order. Now, I’ve always been a fan of the real deal, but let’s be honest, the price tag on those things is insane. So, I thought, why not give a good imitation a try? It’s all about the looks, right?
First off, I started my search. I hit up every online forum, every discussion board, just trying to find out where to get a decent high-quality imitation. You wouldn’t believe the amount of junk out there. But I wasn’t looking for some cheap knockoff that falls apart in a week. I wanted something that really looked the part.
After days of digging, I finally found a lead. It was about the Rolex Submariner 41mm No-date Black Dial 124060. This one, they call it the “No-Date Black Submariner.” Sounds cool, right? Like something a secret agent would wear. I saw some pictures, and man, it looked good. The details were spot on, at least from what I could tell.
My Purchase Journey
I found a couple of sellers who claimed to have the “original order” of this imitation. Now, “original order” is supposed to mean it’s made with the same materials and in the same factories as the legit ones, or so they say. The prices were all over the place, some as low as $1,100, others much higher. But it still way cheaper than the real thing. I heard that a new real one could cost you $12,000, crazy isn’t it? And even used ones can go for thousands. Like, I saw a used Rolex Day-Date for almost $9,000! And a Rolex GMT-Master II for over $36,000! Just wild.
So, I decided to take the plunge. I picked a seller that seemed reputable, had good reviews, and wasn’t charging an arm and a leg. Paid around $1,500, which felt like a good middle ground. Then came the waiting. It felt like forever, but finally, it arrived.
Unboxing and First Impressions
When I opened the box, I was honestly impressed. This thing looked really good. The weight felt right, the black dial was sharp, and the bezel clicked just like it should. I compared it to pictures of the real deal online, and I had to squint to see any differences.
- Weight: It felt substantial, just like a real Rolex should.
- Dial: The black dial was clean and crisp, with the markers and hands looking perfect.
- Bezel: The rotating bezel had that satisfying click, and the numbers were spot on.
- Bracelet: The bracelet felt solid, and the clasp closed with a nice snap.
Now, I’m no watch expert, but I’ve held a few real Rolexes in my time, and this imitation felt surprisingly similar. Of course, I knew it wasn’t the real thing, but for the price, I was more than happy.
Wearing It Out
I started wearing the watch every day. I wanted to see how it held up to daily wear and tear. I wore it to work, to the gym, even when I was just lounging around the house. And you know what? It held up great.
People noticed it too. I got a few compliments, some folks even thought it was the real deal. I didn’t go around claiming it was genuine, but I didn’t correct anyone either. It was kind of fun, to be honest.
After a few weeks of wearing it, I can say I’m really happy with my purchase. It’s a good-looking watch, it keeps time well, and it hasn’t fallen apart. It’s exactly what I was looking for, a high-quality imitation that gives me the look of a Rolex without the hefty price tag.
Final Thoughts
So, if you’re thinking about getting a high imitation Rolex, I say go for it. Just do your research, find a reputable seller, and don’t expect it to be exactly the same as the real thing. But if you’re just after the look and feel, you might be surprised at how good these imitations can be.
Would I buy another one? Absolutely. In fact, I’m already eyeing a few other models. This whole experience has opened up a new world of watches for me, and I’m excited to see what else is out there. Who knows, maybe one day I’ll even splurge on the real deal, but for now, I’m more than happy with my high imitation Rolex No-Date Black Submariner.
