So, I saw this Rolex Black Submariner, the “original order” version, and I was like, “I gotta see what the fuss is about.” I’ve always been curious about these high-quality replica watches. Let me tell you, it was quite an experience.
Getting Started
First off, I did a bit of digging online. Turns out, these watches are supposed to be pretty close to the real deal. I found a guy who seemed to know what he was talking about, and he gave me the rundown on what to look for.
Checking It Out
- Weight: The first thing I did was compare the weight. I’d heard that real Submariners are heavier than most watches. I held a genuine one once, so I had a rough idea. This replica felt pretty substantial, just like I remembered.
- Size: Then I measured it. The case diameter was spot on at 40 millimeters, just like a genuine Submariner.
- Ticking: Next, I listened to the ticking. Real Rolexes have a smooth, almost silent tick. This one had that same smooth sound, not that loud, cheap ticking you hear on some fakes.
- Details: I took a close look at the writing on the dial. It was super neat and precise, just like on the real ones. The date display was clear and easy to read, too.
- Bezel: And then there’s the bezel, that shiny, rotating part. This one felt solid and clicked nicely when I turned it. It really felt like a quality piece.
The Verdict
Honestly, I was pretty impressed. This “original order” Black Submariner was way closer to the real thing than I expected. It had the right weight, the right size, the smooth ticking, and all the little details were on point. Of course, it’s not a genuine Rolex, but it sure fooled me for a while there. If you’re looking for a high-quality replica, this one might be worth checking out. Just remember, it’s not the real deal, but it’s a darn good imitation.
