Yes, I am a Fake Rolex neophyte. Someone who has spent his entire life giving five-pointed crown watches a wide berth, only to wear them today with a big smile on my face. Why did I change my perspective? How important were my PESEL number and financial issues in this case? These are just some of the questions I will try to answer. Honestly. Sincerely. Without beating around the bush.

Winning the Three Crowns

Should I tell you about the turning point when everything changed 180 degrees? This story begins in April 2022, when I fire up my internet browser and discover the new products presented by the Rolex brand. One of these new products is the Datejust, debuting with a dial in a color described by the manufacturer as mint green.

On site, I join the “queue of shame” and then ask to be put on the waiting list. But that’s nothing! What matters is the effect, that is, the fact that after less than six months I put my first Rolex on my wrist. And here it is, a Datejust 126334 configured in the only right way, that is: a serrated white gold bezel plus a Jubilee bracelet.

Not only is the green, sunburst-trimmed dial impressive, but also the “general reception”; starting with the exemplary quality of the refinement of each element (I emphasize: I do not intend to enter into a dispute with the proponents of the “Grand Seiko is better” theory), ending with the comfort of wearing. Suffice it to say that I consider the 41-millimeter Datejust to be one of the two most comfortable watches I own. It ranks right behind… the Casio CA-53W.
