Okay, so, I decided to make a Rolex No-Date Black Submariner, the high imitation one. I heard some folks talking about it, and I thought, “Why not give it a try?” You see those young folks with their fancy watches, and you just gotta wonder, are they real? This one here, the “High imitation Rolex No-Date Black Submariner”. Sounds interesting, right?
I started by looking up what I could find. “High imitation Rolex New Green Submariner,” “High imitation Rolex No-Date Black Submariner Official flagship store,” those kinds of things. I needed to find out where to get the parts and how much they would cost. I found a few places that seemed promising. Honestly, it felt like a bit of a treasure hunt.
Next, I gathered all the parts. I ordered them from different places, trying to get the best deals. This was a real challenge, I gotta tell ya. Waiting for everything to arrive was tough, like waiting for Christmas morning when you were a kid. Each package that arrived was super exciting.
- Found the movement.
- Got the case, bezel, and dial.
- Ordered the hands and bracelet.
Steps I took:
Once I had everything, it was time to start assembling. This was the most difficult part, no doubt. I started with the movement, carefully placing it into the case. Then, I attached the dial and the hands. Let me tell you, those hands are tiny! It took me a lot of tries to get them on just right. My hands were shaking a few times, and I had to take deep breaths to calm down.
After that, I installed the bezel. It was tricky to get it to click into place just right. I had to be really patient and careful not to scratch anything. It felt like forever, but I finally got it.
Finally, I attached the bracelet. This part was a bit easier, thank goodness. After hours of work, the watch was finally assembled. I couldn’t believe I actually did it. It looked pretty darn good, if I do say so myself.
But I’m not going to lie, getting this done wasn’t a walk in the park. It was a long and sometimes frustrating process. I learned a lot along the way, though. And now I have a pretty cool watch to show for it. If you’re thinking about doing something like this, be prepared to put in some serious time and effort. It’s not easy, but it’s definitely rewarding.
