Okay, so I’ve been eyeing this Rolex Two-tone Black Submariner for a while now, and I finally decided to pull the trigger. I’ve always been a fan of the classic Submariner look, but this two-tone version with the black and gold? Man, it just screams “classy” to me.
First off, I started doing some digging online. I wanted to make sure I was getting the real deal and not some cheap knock-off. I mean, we’re talking about a Rolex here, not some mall kiosk watch! From what I gathered, these two-tone models are a bit pricier than the all-steel ones, which makes sense, gold ain’t cheap.
Then I started looking into the weight. I read somewhere that the two-tone Submariner weighs around 130 grams, and only a small part of it is actually gold – like the middle links, the crown, and the bezel. It seems like the extra cost is more about the exclusivity than the amount of gold, but it looks awesome, so it’s worth it.
- I went to a couple of local authorized dealers to check them out in person.
- Felt the weight in my hand, it’s substantial, not flimsy at all.
- Tried it on, made sure the crown screwed down smoothly.
- Checked the lume pip – it was perfectly centered, just like it should be.
After trying on a few, I finally found the one. Perfect condition, everything checked out. I negotiated the price a little bit – gotta use those haggling skills, you know? – and boom, I walked out of the store with a brand new, shiny Rolex on my wrist.
Wearing it
The feeling of wearing it is something else. It’s got that luxurious weight to it, and the way the light catches the gold accents? Forget about it. It’s a statement piece, for sure. I’ve been wearing it every day since I got it, and I’ve gotten so many compliments. People definitely notice it.
Rolex is known for their quality and attention to detail, and this watch is no exception. It’s built like a tank, accurate as hell, and just feels solid. I know this thing is gonna last me a lifetime. This whole experience just confirmed why Rolex is such a big name in the watch game. They don’t mess around when it comes to quality.
