Alright, let’s talk about them fancy watches, the ones they call “High imitation Rolex Submariner Original order”. Folks say they look just like the real deal, but is that true? I’m gonna tell ya what I heard, what I seen, and what you should look for, ya hear?
First off, these watches, they’re supposed to be heavy. Real heavy. Like holding a good piece of metal in your hand. The real ones, they use fancy stuff like, what they call it, 904L stainless steel, or even gold, you know, the real shiny stuff. Fake ones, they’re lighter, feels kinda cheap, like tin or somethin’. So, if it feels like a feather, you know somethin’ ain’t right.
Then there’s the size, this “case diameter” they talk about. The real ones, they’re about 40 millimeters, that’s, uh, about this big shows with fingers. Not too big, not too small, just right. If it’s way bigger or way smaller, well, it ain’t the real McCoy, is it?
- Weight: Real heavy, like a good chunk of metal.
- Size: 40 millimeters, not too big, not too small.
- Material: Fancy stuff, not just any old metal.
Now, let’s get to the little things, the stuff you gotta squint to see. They call ’em “details.” First, there’s the hands, ya know, the things that tell the time. The minute hand, the long one, it shouldn’t go past them little markers on the watch face, they call ’em “minute markers”. Fake ones, they often get it wrong, the hand’s too long, goes right over them markers, looks sloppy. You gotta pay attention, real close.
And the writing, oh boy, the writing! The real Rolexes, they have this fancy, clean writing. Every letter, every number, it’s perfect. No smudges, no blurry lines. Fake ones, the writing can look messy, like someone scribbled it on in a hurry. Sometimes the letters are too thick, sometimes they’re too thin, sometimes they ain’t even straight! You gotta look real careful, like you’re lookin’ for a lost needle in a haystack.
And then there’s the, uh, what they call it, the “cyclops”. That’s that little bubble thing over the date, makes it look bigger so you can see it good. On a real Rolex, it magnifies the date real good, makes it pop out. Fake ones, the cyclops ain’t as strong, the date looks kinda small and blurry. It just don’t look right, you know? It’s like lookin’ through a dirty window.
Another thing, the bezel, that’s the ring around the watch face, the one that turns. On a real Submariner, it clicks real smooth, each click nice and firm. Fake ones, they feel kinda loose, sometimes they even wobble. It should feel solid, like a good door closing, not like a rusty hinge squeaking.
And don’t forget the bracelet, that’s the part that holds the watch on your wrist. Real Rolex bracelets, they’re smooth, they feel good on your skin. The links, the little pieces that make up the bracelet, they fit together real tight, no gaps. Fake ones, they feel rough, sometimes they even pinch your skin. And you can see gaps between the links, looks cheap, like it’s gonna fall apart any minute.
So, there you have it, a few things to look for. It ain’t easy, mind you. These folks making the fakes, they’re getting pretty good. But if you know what to look for, if you pay attention to the details, you can spot the difference. Remember, it’s all about the weight, the size, the little details, and how it feels in your hand. If somethin’ feels off, it probably is.
Now, I ain’t no expert, just tellin’ you what I heard and what I seen. But if you’re gonna spend your hard-earned money on one of these fancy watches, you better make sure you’re getting the real deal, not some cheap knock-off. Don’t be fooled by them shiny things, take your time, look close, and don’t be afraid to ask questions. And if somethin’ seems too good to be true, well, it probably is.
