Okay, here we go, let’s talk about how I got my hands on this Rolex New Green Submariner, the high imitation one, of course.
So, I’ve always been a fan of those fancy Rolex watches, you know, the ones that scream “I’ve made it!” But let’s be real, who has that kind of cash lying around? Not me. Still, I really wanted that classic Submariner look, especially that new green one, it’s fire. So, I started looking into alternatives. Long waitlists? Crazy prices? No thanks.
I did some digging around. Checked out what some watchmakers were doing. Looked at the official catalogue and thought there was no way I could ever afford that or find one in stock. That’s when it hit me. Let’s check out what the people in China have to offer. I heard from a friend they can put together some pretty good looking watches. I started with the big online marketplaces, you know, those giant websites that sell everything. There were tons of options, but a lot of them looked really cheap or too good to be true. I mean, a “Rolex” for fifty bucks? Come on.
Then I started reading forums, those places where watch nerds like me hang out. People were talking about different factories, different versions, and all sorts of details I never even thought about. I learned about things like the “904L steel,” the “ceramic bezel,” and the “Swiss movement” – yeah, it was a whole new world. I spent hours, days even, just reading and comparing.
Finally, I decided to go with a seller. I sent them a message, asked a bunch of questions, you know, making sure I wasn’t going to get scammed. They sent me pictures, videos, even answered my dumb questions about the tiny details. After a few weeks, I took the risk and transferred the money and waited. That was the hardest part. I think I checked the tracking number like a hundred times a day.
- Sent the money through an app
- Waited and waited, and waited some more
- Checked tracking every hour
- Finally it shipped!
Then, one day, it arrived. I was so excited. Tore open that package like a kid on Christmas morning. And there it was, my “Rolex” New Green Submariner. I’m not gonna lie, it looked amazing. Put it on my wrist, and it felt great. The weight was there, the details were spot on, at least to my untrained eye, it looked great. I compared it to pictures of the real deal online, and honestly, I couldn’t tell the difference.
How it is holding up
I’ve been wearing it for a few months now, and I get compliments all the time. People think it’s real! Of course, I tell them it’s not, I don’t want anyone to think they can just go and get a real Rolex. It’s been great. No problems at all. Still looks shiny and new. Keeps time perfectly. I even took it swimming a few times, and it’s still ticking. For the price I paid, I’m beyond happy. It’s like having a little piece of that luxury life without having to sell a kidney.
Would I recommend it? Well, if you’re like me, and you just want the look without the crazy price tag, then yeah, go for it. Just do your research, find a good seller, and don’t expect it to be exactly like the real thing. It’s a high imitation, after all. But hey, it’s close enough for me, and it makes me feel good wearing it. That’s all that matters, right?
