Alright, let’s talk about this little project I’ve been messing around with. So, I’ve always been a bit of a watch guy, and the Rolex Submariner, especially that new green one, it’s a beauty. But let’s be real, the price tag? Ouch. That’s when I started looking into these “high imitation” versions. Yeah, I know, some folks turn their noses up at them, but hear me out.
First, I started digging around online, forums, chat groups, you name it. Trying to figure out what the deal was with these imitation watches. Turns out, there’s a whole world of them out there. Some are pretty much junk, but others, they’re surprisingly good. That’s when I decided I wanted to try this out for myself, see if I could get my hands on one of these high-quality imitation Green Subs and how close they actually get to the real deal.
Finding the Right One
So I started looking for them, but not any kind of imitation but a kind of high imitation. Then I found some stores that are called “official flagship stores”, it is a little bit strange but it does exist. And finally, I found a store that looks legit, and the pictures they showed, man, they looked good. But pictures can be deceiving, right?
- I read through tons of reviews, trying to separate the real ones from the fakes. It’s a jungle out there.
- I even reached out to a few people who claimed to have bought from them, just to get their take.
- Most of them said pretty good things, so I felt a bit more confident.
Getting My Hands on It
So, I pulled the trigger. I ordered one, and the waiting game began. It took a few weeks, but finally, it arrived. I remember ripping open that package like a kid on Christmas morning. And there it was. I have to say, at first glance, I was pretty impressed. It had some weight to it, and the green, oh that green, it was really something.
Comparing and Contrasting
Now, I’m no expert, but I’ve seen enough real Rolexes to know what to look for. I started comparing it to pictures and videos of the real deal online, and honestly, it was pretty darn close. The details, the markings, even the way it felt on my wrist. Sure, if you put it side-by-side with a real one, a trained eye might be able to spot some differences. For example, a real Submariner has a special kind of shine, not too flashy. But for the price, it’s crazy how good it looked.
Living with It
I’ve been wearing it for a few months now, and it’s been holding up pretty well. It keeps time just fine. I’ve even gotten a few compliments on it, and nobody’s called me out on it being a fake. Of course, I’m not trying to pass it off as the real thing, but it’s a fun conversation starter. But I have to say, the green Rolex Submariner is more expensive than the black one, especially on the secondary market. I think it is because of its rarity.
So, there you have it. My little adventure with a high imitation Rolex Green Submariner. It’s not the real thing, but it’s a pretty good stand-in, especially if you’re not looking to drop some serious cash. I’m happy with it, and that’s all that matters, right?
