So, I’ve been seeing these high imitation Rolex two-tone black Submariners all over the place. You know the ones – that black and gold, super shiny. It seems like everyone’s got one or wants one. I got curious and decided to check it out myself.
First, I asked around. A buddy of mine, he’s always into this kind of stuff, he told me it’s a solid Submariner fake Rolex. He said it’s basically what the rich guys wear. This fake watch world is bigger than I thought, tons of these Rolex replicas, especially this Submariner model.
I started digging a bit more. I found out the original one, the 116613LN, that’s a Submariner Date Two Tone, 40 mm, with a black ceramic bezel and a black dial. Some guy was selling a 2015 model. So, I figured, if the real deal is out there, the fakes must be pretty close, right?
Then I got to thinking, what’s the big deal with the size? Turns out, the Rolex Submariner case is 40.0 mm in diameter and 13.0 mm thick. The crystal itself is 2.0 mm thick. These details, they seemed important if I wanted a good replica.
I finally pulled the trigger and ordered one. I went with a seller that had some decent reviews. When it arrived, I was pretty impressed. It looked just like the pictures, all shiny and substantial. It has a good weight to it. The bezel clicks nicely, and the details are pretty spot on. I mean, the size is right, 40 mm, just like the real one. The black and gold combo looks great.
Here’s what I checked to make sure it was a good one:
- Size: Measured it. 40 mm diameter, just like the original.
- Weight: It felt heavy, not cheap and flimsy.
- Bezel: Clicked nicely, just like I’d seen in videos of the real thing.
- Look: The gold and black look great, just like the pictures online.
- Dial: The details on the dial, the little markers and the hands, they all look pretty accurate.
Honestly, I’m really happy with it. It’s a fun way to get that classic look without spending a fortune. Who knows, maybe one day I’ll get the real deal, but for now, this is perfect.
To put it simply, I wanted a watch that looked like a Rolex Submariner, I got one, and it’s pretty darn good for a fake. I did some checking, made sure the size and details were right, and now I’m wearing it all the time. It’s a good-looking watch, and that’s all I wanted.
I wear it every day. It feels great on my wrist and has become my go-to watch for both casual and slightly dressier occasions. I’ve even gotten a few compliments on it, which is always a nice bonus. I always wanted to have a nice-looking watch, now I have one.
Finally, I got the watch I wanted. A good-looking watch that didn’t cost me a fortune. This experience just proves that sometimes you don’t need to spend crazy money to get something that looks and feels great.
