Today, I’m gonna tell y’all about my latest project: making a high imitation Rolex Two-tone Blue Submariner, the original order kind. This ain’t my first rodeo with watches, but this one, it’s got a special place in my heart.
So, it all started when I was looking at a picture of a real Rolex. The two-tone model caught my eye, and I decided to buy one from the grey market. I heard from a friend that the blue dial two-tone sub is going for about $1000 more than the black version. That’s why I chose this model.
I got my hands on some quality materials. I remember someone once told me, “you can put a real Rolex Submariner in your hand, even if it’s a couple of years old, and you’ll just know it’s the real deal. Nobody can copy that quality.” Well, I was about to try.
Getting the Right Feel
First off, the weight. A real two-tone Submariner, they say it weighs around 130 grams. This imitation, I aimed for the same. It’s not just about slapping some metal together. It’s gotta have that heft, that solid feel when you hold it.
- Weighing the Materials: I carefully measured out the materials, making sure I got the weight just right. It felt substantial, just like a real luxury watch should.
- Assembling the Watch: Piece by piece, I put it together. Each part, from the middle links to the crown and the bezel, was carefully selected and assembled.
The Devil’s in the Details
Next up, the look. The original has this shiny, classy look. To get that right, I polished the metal parts until they gleamed. It’s all about catching the light just right, making it look as close to the real deal as possible.
- Polishing the Band: I spent hours polishing the band. It’s got that two-tone look, shiny and slick.
- Comparing with the Real Deal: I kept comparing my work to pictures of a real Rolex. It’s all about the details, making sure everything lines up just right.
After all the hard work, I finally had my high imitation Rolex Two-tone Blue Submariner. Holding it in my hand, it felt right. The weight, the shine, it all came together beautifully. I learned that it isn’t about getting the real deal, but instead, it’s about the process and effort.
This project, it wasn’t just about making a watch. It was about pushing my skills, learning new things, and appreciating the craftsmanship that goes into making these luxury items. And let me tell you, it was one heck of a ride.
