Man, I’ve been itching to get my hands on a decent Rolex Submariner for a while now. But let’s be real, those prices are insane! So, I decided to go down the rabbit hole of replicas. Specifically, I wanted to snag a two-tone black Submariner, you know, the one with the gold and steel. I figured, why not try to get that classic look without, you know, selling a kidney?
First, I started digging around online, reading forums, watching videos, just trying to soak up as much info as possible. It’s a wild world out there, with tons of different factories and sellers. I wanted to find a “super clone,” which is basically a replica that’s almost indistinguishable from the real deal, even down to the movement parts. I mean, if I’m going to wear a fake, it better be a damn good one, right?
It was kind of confusing, because everyone talked about different versions, like the 124060, 126610, and 116610. I realized it’s essential to understand the differences between these models. I found that I should pay attention to the new 12 series Rolexes if I want the latest and greatest.
I started comparing pictures and specs, looking for all the little details that separate a good replica from a bad one. One big thing I learned is that the two-tone Submariner only has gold on the middle links, the crown, and the bezel. So, I made sure to check those parts carefully in the photos.
After a lot of searching and comparing, I finally settled on a seller that seemed reputable and ordered a “super clone” of the two-tone black Submariner. It took a few weeks to arrive, and man, was I nervous when I opened the box! But when I finally got it in my hands, I was pretty impressed. It felt solid, with a decent weight to it. It weighs about 130g and the gold and blue looked pretty good.
- Weight: It felt substantial, not like some cheap, flimsy thing.
- Materials: The gold parts looked pretty convincing, and the steel had a nice shine to it.
- Movement: I’m no watch expert, but the movement seemed smooth, and the second hand had that nice sweeping motion.
Of course, it’s not a real Rolex, and I’m sure an expert could spot some differences. But for me, it’s close enough. I can rock that two-tone Submariner look without breaking the bank. It’s a good feeling, let me tell you.
So, that’s my story of getting a high imitation Rolex two-tone black Submariner. It was a bit of an adventure, but I’m happy with how it turned out. If you’re thinking about getting a replica, just do your research, be patient, and don’t expect perfection. But you might be surprised at what you can find!
