Okay, so, about this whole “original order” Rolex Submariner thing. I’ve been seeing it everywhere online, and honestly, I got curious. Like, is this for real? Is it just some marketing trick? I had to find out. So I dove in, head first. I started digging around for this two-tone black Submariner, and let me tell you, it was a journey. I mean these high imitation watches are everywhere and you have to be careful.
First, I tried to understand what makes a two-tone Submariner even special. I found out that it’s not just about the gold, it is about how uncommon they are compared to the steel ones. They say a two-tone Submariner is about 130 grams, and less than 1/5 of that is the actual gold, mostly on the middle links, the crown, and the bezel. But it’s not just about the gold. They’re rarer, so that bumps up the price and cool factor. Oh, and the waitlist? Forget about it. If you want a real one from a Rolex dealer, you’re going to be waiting for at least a year, maybe more, because everyone and their grandma wants a Submariner.
After getting all this info, I started my hunt. I was looking everywhere. I talked to people, heard all kinds of stories. Some guys told me that the “original order” thing is just something people say. Like, it doesn’t really mean anything specific, but it sounds good, you know? It’s like, yeah, it’s a high imitation, but it’s an “original order” one. Makes it feel more special, I guess.
I wanted to see one of these watches for myself. So, I finally found a guy who had one. I took a close look. It did look good, I have to admit. The weight felt right, the details were all there. It seemed like the real deal, and I checked it out from every angle, every little detail. It was pretty impressive. The build quality was solid, the gold parts looked legit, and it even had all the right markings. If you didn’t know better, you’d think it was a real Rolex.
My Thoughts After Seeing It
- Quality: It was way better than I expected. It wasn’t some cheap knock-off. These guys put some serious work into making these things.
- Details: Everything was on point. The engravings, the serial numbers, even the tiny Rolex crown on the crystal. It was all there.
- Feel: It felt good on the wrist. It had that nice heft to it, just like the real ones do. The bracelet was smooth, the clasp clicked just right. It felt premium.
In the end, I realized that this “original order” thing is probably just a fancy term. But these high imitation Rolexes? They’re definitely something else. If you’re thinking about getting one, just know what you’re getting into. Do your research, talk to people, and maybe even try to see one in person. It’s a wild world out there, and these watches are a big part of it. And me? I’m just glad I got to see it all up close and share this little adventure with you guys. Stay smart, and keep those watches ticking, whether they’re real or not.
