Today, I’m gonna share my latest project: a high imitation of the Rolex New Green Submariner. You know, the one with the classic style that everyone loves. Let me tell you, it was quite the journey!
Getting Started
First off, I needed to get my hands on the parts. After digging around, I finally found a supplier who could provide me with all the necessary components. We’re talking about the case, bezel, dial, hands, movement – the whole shebang. It wasn’t cheap, but hey, quality comes at a price, right?
The Assembly
Next up was the assembly. This is where things got tricky. I started with the movement, carefully placing it inside the case. Then came the dial and hands. Let me tell you, those tiny screws were a pain to deal with! One wrong move and they’d go flying across the room. It took a lot of patience and a steady hand, but I managed to get them all in place.
After that, it was time for the bezel. This part was actually quite fun. I love the way it clicks into place. It’s so satisfying! Then, I secured the case back and added the bracelet. Voila! The watch was starting to take shape.
The Challenges
Of course, it wasn’t all smooth sailing. I ran into a few snags along the way. For example, the movement was a bit finicky at first. It took some tinkering to get it running smoothly. And let’s not forget about the water resistance. I had to make sure all the seals were tight to prevent any leakage. Testing that part was nerve-wracking, but thankfully, it passed with flying colors!
The Final Product
Finally, after all the hard work, the watch was complete. And let me tell you, it looks amazing! The green bezel really pops against the black dial. It’s got that classic Submariner look, but with a modern twist. I’m really proud of how it turned out. It’s not just a watch; it’s a piece of art that I built with my own two hands.
My Feelings
- Excitement: The feeling when all the parts finally came together was incredible.
- Frustration: Dealing with those tiny screws was definitely a test of my patience.
- Pride: Seeing the finished product and knowing I built it myself is an amazing feeling.
So, there you have it, folks. My journey of creating a high imitation Rolex New Green Submariner. It was a challenging but rewarding experience. I hope you enjoyed this little peek into my watchmaking adventure!
