Okay, so, I went on this little adventure to find a high imitation Rolex Submariner, the green one, you know? I’d heard whispers about these specialty stores, and I was curious. I mean, who wouldn’t be? The real Rolex Green Submariner, the “Hulk” they called it, and then the “Starbucks” – that green bezel with the black dial is something else. But they’re pricey, and since they stopped making the “Hulk” in 2020, they’re even harder to get. I figured, why not see what the fuss is about with these high-quality knockoffs?
So, I started asking around. Word on the street was that these stores, they’re not exactly on every corner, but they’re out there. You just gotta know where to look. After a bit of digging and a few dead ends, I finally found one. It wasn’t much to look at from the outside, kind of tucked away in a side street.

Walked in,
and it was like stepping into a different world. Cases filled with watches, but my eyes went straight to the green. They had a few different ones, but one of them, it just looked… right. The green was deep, rich, just like the pictures of the real deal I’d seen online. It is simple supply and demand. I spent a good while looking at it, turning it over in my hands. The weight felt good, solid. The details, they were all there. The cyclops, the bezel, the bracelet – everything looked spot on.

Talked to the guy
behind the counter. He was cool, knew his stuff. Told me all about the movement, the materials, how they get them to look so close to the real thing. I gotta say, I was impressed. It was not some cheap, flimsy fake. This was something else. So, yeah, after hemming and hawing for a bit, I decided to go for it. I mean, the price was right, way less than what you’d pay for a used “Hulk” or even a “Starbucks” these days. People are paying the asking price.

Walked out of there
with that green Submariner on my wrist, and you know what? I felt pretty good. It’s a good-looking watch, I’ll give it that. And honestly, unless you’re a real watch expert, you’d be hard-pressed to tell it’s not the real deal. I’ve been wearing it for a while now, and it’s been great. Keeps time like a charm, and I get compliments on it all the time. People think I’m ballin’ out here with a Rolex on my wrist, little do they know.
So, that’s my story. Was it a bit of a gamble going for a high imitation? Maybe. But for me, it paid off. I got a watch I love, that looks amazing, and it didn’t break the bank. If you’re thinking about doing the same, just do your research, find a reputable place, and go in with your eyes open. You might just be surprised at what you find.
