High imitation Rolex New Green Submariner: The Classic Style That Will Never Go Out of Fashion

Okay, so, a while back, I got this idea in my head. I’m thinkin’, why not try to make a high-end replica of a Rolex Submariner? You know, the green one, they call it the “classic style.” I’ve always been a fan of how these watches look, all shiny and fancy.

First, I did some digging around. Found out a bunch of stuff about these watches. They call it the “Submariner.” Sounds like it should go underwater, right? But these fake ones, nah, they ain’t for divin’. Anyway, I learned that the real ones are a big deal, cost a fortune.

Then, I started gatherin’ materials. Not the real stuff, of course, that’d be crazy expensive. I got some good-lookin’ metal, found a place that could make a decent watch face, and got some green paint that looked just like the real deal. It was like puttin’ together a puzzle, a really complicated one.

Finding the Right Parts

Now, the hard part was making it all work together. I ain’t no watchmaker, but I know a thing or two about how things tick. I fiddled around, took things apart, put ’em back together. It was a lot of trial and error, let me tell ya.

• Sourcing the Steel: Got some stainless steel, not the 904L stuff Rolex uses, but it looked close enough.
• The Green Dial: This was tricky. Had to mix a few paints to get that special “Hulk” green just right.
• Movement: Found a decent automatic movement online. Not Swiss-made, but it kept time okay.

After a bunch of late nights and a whole lot of coffee, I finally had somethin’ that looked like a green Submariner. It wasn’t perfect, mind you. Some parts were a bit off, and the green wasn’t a 100% match, but it was close, real close.

I even wore it around a couple of times. Got some looks, some compliments. Nobody could tell it was a fake, not unless they were some kind of watch expert. It felt kinda cool, havin’ that Rolex look without payin’ all that money. It’s like gettin’ a deal, you know?

Now, I ain’t sayin’ everyone should go out and make fake watches. It’s a lot of work, and it ain’t exactly legal. But for me, it was a fun project. A way to get my hands dirty and see if I could pull it off. And you know what? I did. I made a pretty darn good imitation of a Rolex Submariner, the classic green one. And that’s somethin’, ain’t it?
