So, today I’m gonna walk you guys through my little adventure of getting a high imitation Rolex two-tone blue Submariner. Yeah, you heard that right, a high imitation. I’ve always been a fan of the classic Rolex style, but let’s be real, the price tag is a bit…ouch. So, I decided to go down the imitation route, and I’m here to share how it went.
First off, I did a ton of research. I mean, I was all over the internet, reading forums, comparing different replica makers, and all that jazz. I noticed that there’s a pretty big debate on whether the two-tone blue or the black dial is better. Some folks online were saying the blue one is going for about $1000 more, which is crazy! Also, I saw some posts about people going to their AD to choose between the two, and a lot were leaning towards the blue one. I guess it’s all about personal preference, right?
- Checked out forums to compare replica makers.
- Looked into the price difference between the blue and black dial models.
- Read opinions on which model looks better in person.
I stumbled upon some posts about the Stuhrling Depthmaster and how it’s different from the two-tone Rolex. And man, the comments about two-tone being a “90s look” and Rolex just trying to squeeze more money out of customers…it’s a whole world out there. I even saw someone saying that two-tone gold watches are hated on some Submariner forums! But you know what they say, haters gonna hate. To me, the two-tone blue is a beauty. I think it’s one of the best-looking watches out there, from any brand. I get that some people are into the “root beer” color, but it’s just not my cup of tea.
Now, I was aware that there are a lot of not-so-great fakes out there. I read that counterfeiters usually go for the most popular models because they sell better. Makes sense, right? So, I knew I had to be careful. I kept seeing the Rolex Submariner Two Tone 126613LN being talked about as a solid daily watch, except for the clasp being a scratch magnet. That’s something to keep in mind.
I also considered other brands like Omega, Tudor, IWC, Cartier, Breitling, and Grand Seiko. They all have some pretty sweet entry-level pieces that are way cheaper than Rolex. But my heart was set on that two-tone blue Submariner look.
The Hunt Begins
After all that research, I finally found a seller that seemed legit. We chatted a bit, I asked a million questions, and eventually, I pulled the trigger. I placed my order and the waiting game began. It felt like forever, but finally, the day came when the package arrived. I ripped that thing open like a kid on Christmas morning.
And there it was, my high imitation two-tone blue Submariner. I gotta say, I was impressed. The weight, the feel, the look…it was all pretty darn close to the real deal. I compared it to some high-quality pictures online, and honestly, it’s hard to tell the difference unless you’re a real expert.
Living with the Imitation
I’ve been wearing it for a few weeks now, and I’m loving it. I get compliments all the time, and people are always surprised when I tell them it’s not an original. Sure, it’s not the same as owning a genuine Rolex, but for the price, I’m more than happy. I’ve taken it swimming, I’ve worn it to work, and I’ve even accidentally banged it against a few things (oops), and it’s holding up great.
The clasp does scratch a bit easily, just like I read, but it’s not a deal-breaker for me. I’m just a bit more careful with it now. Overall, I’m really happy with my purchase. It’s a beautiful watch, it feels great on my wrist, and it didn’t cost me an arm and a leg.
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 be prepared for the wait. And remember, it’s all about what makes you happy. Don’t let anyone tell you what you should or shouldn’t wear. Rock that watch with pride, my friends!
That’s my story, folks. Hope you enjoyed my little adventure into the world of high imitation watches. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I’m always up for a good chat about watches!
