Alright, so I’ve been eyeing this Rolex Submariner, the new green one, for a while now. You know, the one everyone’s talking about? Yeah, that one. I finally decided to pull the trigger, but man, was it a journey. Let me tell you all about it.
First off, I started doing some research. I mean, I wasn’t just going to jump in blind, right? I read up on what makes a Submariner a good buy. Turns out, Rolex really puts a lot into making these watches, and they make most of the parts themselves. Plus, this particular model, especially the green one, holds its value pretty well. Good to know.
But then came the scary part – fakes. There are so many fake Rolexes out there, and the green Submariner is a hot target. I started digging into how to spot a fake, and let me tell you, it’s a whole world of its own. There are guides and articles all over the place about it.
Looking for the Real Deal
Knowing I had to be careful, I started my search. No way was I going to some shady back-alley dealer. I stuck to reputable places, mostly looking at pre-owned options. I figured, if someone else has worn it and it’s still ticking, that’s a good sign.
I found a few that looked promising. But here’s where my research really paid off. The first thing I did was check the weight. Real Rolexes have a certain heft to them, you can feel the quality. Then I looked at the edges of the case and bracelet. On a real Rolex, they’re super precise, no rough spots or anything.
Putting My Knowledge to the Test
- Checking the Weight: I picked up a few watches that claimed to be the real deal. Some felt surprisingly light, which was a red flag right away.
- Examining the Details: I got out my magnifying glass – yeah, I went full detective mode – and looked at the tiny details. The cyclops lens over the date, the way the hands moved, the engravings on the back, everything.
- Feeling the Bracelet: I ran my fingers over the bracelet, feeling for any imperfections. The real ones are smooth and solid, no cheap, hollow feeling.
After a lot of looking and comparing, I finally found one that passed all my tests. It felt right, it looked right, and everything checked out. I took a deep breath and made the purchase.
The Joy of Ownership
Let me tell you, holding that watch in my hand, knowing it’s the real deal, it’s a great feeling. It’s not just about the brand or the status, it’s about the craftsmanship and the history behind it. And yeah, it looks pretty darn good on my wrist too.
So, that’s my story of getting a high imitation (used and real) Rolex New Green Submariner. It was a bit of an adventure, but totally worth it in the end. If you’re thinking about getting one, just do your research, be patient, and don’t be afraid to ask questions. It’s a big purchase, but if you do it right, you’ll end up with a timepiece you’ll treasure for years to come. And maybe, just maybe, you will find a real and used one, just like me!
