Okay, so you want a Rolex Submariner, classic, iconic, the whole deal. But, uh, the price tag? Ouch. That’s where the clones come in. Now, I’m not saying go out and buy a fake, *per se*, but let’s just… explore the options, ya know?
First off, there’s a *huge* range of quality. You got your straight-up “Rolex” stamped on a cheapo piece of… whatever metal that is (probably not stainless steel, let’s be real). Those are… well, they’re obvious. Avoid. Trust me. You’ll be embarrassed.
Then you get the “Super Clones.” And this is where things get interesting. Apparently, some of these are, like, *really* good. The “Super Clone Rolex Submariner 116610 Nero” mentioned in one of these snippets? Apparently, it’s got a real ceramic bezel, just like the OG Sub. And they even test it for waterproof-ness! Crazy, right?
Now, I saw something about “Importstore043” not being responsible for breakage due to misuse. Uh, yeah. That’s a given with anything that’s not the real deal. And I’d be *super* wary of a “2 year warranty” on a clone. Sounds…optimistic.
But still… a Super Clone Submariner Classic for £450 with box and papers? That’s… tempting. I mean, think about it. You get the look, kinda, the feel, *maybe*… without dropping ten grand.
But here’s the thing, and this is just my opinion, okay? If you’re gonna go clone, go clone. Don’t try to pass it off as real. Own it. Maybe even wear it ironically? Like, “Yeah, it’s a fake, so what? I’m too cool to care about impressing you with my watch.” That’s a power move, right there.
And honestly, sometimes the *search* for the “perfect” clone is more fun than actually owning one. Scouring the internet, reading reviews (which, let’s face it, are probably all fake anyway), comparing different models… it’s a whole hobby in itself!
Plus, there’s the ethical question. Are you supporting shady businesses? Are you perpetuating the cycle of counterfeit goods? I don’t know. That’s for you to decide. I’m just saying, clones exist, they’re getting better, and… well, they’re kinda fascinating in a weird, slightly unsettling way.
Oh, and that “Something big is brewing! Our store is in the works!” thing? Yeah, probably just another clone seller. Good luck to them, I guess. The market’s clearly there.
