Okay, so let’s talk about this Rolex Submariner I got. The two-tone blue one, looked pretty sweet, and I was pumped.
I found this guy online who was selling it. Said it was the real deal, even had the original Rolex box and papers. Looked legit, you know? Price was good, not too crazy, so I pulled the trigger and ordered it. Waited a few days, felt like forever, and finally, the package arrived. Tore into it like a kid on Christmas morning.
First thing I did was check the weight. I remembered reading somewhere that real Submariners are hefty. This one, yeah, it had some weight to it. Felt solid in my hand. I measured it too. The case was about 40 millimeters, just like it should be. So far, so good.
Carefully observe every detail
Then, I started looking at the details, ’cause I’ve heard there are tons of fakes out there. The blue on the bezel, it was this deep, rich color. Looked just like the pictures I’d seen of the real ones. The gold parts, they were shiny, not dull or cheap-looking. I looked real close at the Rolex crown logo. It was sharp and clear, not blurry or anything.
- Case diameter: This is about 40 millimeters.
- Color: Deep blue color.
- Weight: Heavy.
Next, I checked out the movement. Now, I’m no watch expert, but I know the second hand on a real Rolex is supposed to sweep smoothly, not tick like a cheap watch. This one? Smooth as butter. I was starting to feel pretty good about this purchase.
I wore it around for a few days, showing it off to my buddies. They were all impressed, thought it was a genuine Rolex for sure. Even took it to a watch guy I know, just to get a second opinion. He looked it over, checked the movement, the whole nine yards. Said it seemed legit, but he couldn’t be 100% without taking it apart, which I wasn’t about to let him do.
So, yeah, after all that, I’m pretty confident this Rolex is the real deal. It’s got the weight, the look, the smooth movement, everything. Plus, it came with the original box and booklets, which is a good sign. I’m stoked. Think I got a killer deal on a sweet watch. Now I just gotta figure out how to keep it safe. Don’t want this beauty getting scratched or, even worse, stolen. Maybe I need a safe or something. Anyway, that’s my story. Hope you guys found it interesting.
