Man, I’ve been wanting a Rolex Submariner for like, forever. But those prices? Forget about it! So, I started looking into this whole “high imitation” thing. Sounds a little sketchy, I know, but I was desperate. Green is my favorite color so I aimed for the green one.
First, I hit up Temu. I mean, you can find anything on there, right? I typed in “High Imitation Rolex” and boom, a bunch of stuff popped up. But honestly, it all looked kinda cheap. Plus, I didn’t want to wait weeks for shipping. Next, I started searching for shops, you know, the ones that specialize in this kind of stuff. I found a few online stores, but I was worried about them being a scam. Then I remembered I could ask someone for recommendations on social media like Reddit or Facebook.
So, I decided to check out some specialty stores in person. I figured that way, I could at least see the watches and make sure they weren’t total junk. I drove around to a few different places, comparing prices and quality. Some of them were seriously impressive. Like, I could barely tell the difference between the real deal and the imitation. Others were pretty bad – you could spot the flaws a mile away.
My Findings
- Price: The prices were all over the place. Some stores were trying to charge almost as much as a real Rolex, which is insane. Others were more reasonable, like a few hundred bucks.
- Quality: Like I said, it was a mixed bag. Some of these watches were heavy, with good detailing, and even had the right markings. Others felt light and cheap, with sloppy paint jobs.
- Selection: Most places had a decent selection, but some were pretty limited. I was looking for the new green Submariner, and not every store had it.
After visiting a bunch of stores, I finally found one that I liked. The guy there seemed to know his stuff, and he had a good selection of watches. I ended up buying a pretty nice green Submariner imitation for around $300. It’s not perfect, but it looks good, and it keeps time well. I’ve been wearing it for a few weeks now, and I’ve gotten a lot of compliments on it. In fact, my friends thought it’s a real one. I don’t like lying so I told them the truth and they were all surprised. Now they want me to accompany them to buy one for them, ha!
Overall, I’m pretty happy with my purchase. I got the look I wanted without having to sell a kidney. Of course, it’s not the same as owning a real Rolex, but it’s close enough for me. If you’re thinking about getting a high imitation watch, just be sure to do your research and check out the watches in person before you buy. I learned that it’s better to see them in person than buying online.
