Hey there, you young’uns, lemme tell ya ’bout these fancy watches. This one here, they call it a “High imitation Rolex No-Date Black Submariner“. Sounds like a mouthful, don’t it? Well, these fellas, they try to make these watches look just like the real deal, but they ain’t. Not really.
Now, I ain’t no expert on these fancy time-tellin’ gadgets, but I seen a few in my day. My grandson, he’s got one of them real Rolexes. Cost more than my old mule, Bessie, that’s for sure. This Rolex Submariner, it’s a popular one. Lots of folks want one. But they’re expensive, like I said. So, some folks, they try to get a deal. That’s where these “high imitation” things come in.
They call it “No-Date” ’cause it ain’t got that little window that shows the date. Just the time. And it’s black, they call it a Black Submariner. Black as a coal mine, it is. My old man, bless his soul, he worked in the mines. Wouldn’t catch him dead wearin’ somethin’ that fancy, though. He’d say, “What do I need a watch for? The sun tells the time just fine.” He was a character, that one.
These Rolex watches, they’re s’posed to be tough. Like, you can take ’em underwater and they won’t break. That’s what they say, anyways. I wouldn’t trust it, myself. I ain’t never been one for swimmin’. My old bones ain’t what they used to be. Besides, who needs to know the time when you’re under the water? Just come up for air when you need it, I say.
Now, these fake ones, these imitation Rolex Submariner watches, they might look the same. From far away, anyways. But when you get up close, you can tell the difference. They feel cheap, ya know? Light, like a feather. A real Rolex, that’s got some heft to it. Feels solid, like it’s made of somethin’ real, not like these knockoffs. Like comparing a good, sturdy oak to some flimsy piece of driftwood. No comparison.
- First thing is the feel of it.
- Real Rolex is heavy.
- Fake one is light and cheap feeling.
And the way they tick, that’s different, too. A real one, it’s smooth, like butter. These fake ones, they got a jerky tick. Like they’re hiccupin’. And the little hands, they ain’t as shiny, neither. Dull, like an old penny. These fake Rolex watches fool some people, though.
My neighbor, Mildred, she got one of these imitation Rolex watches. Thought she was gettin’ a real bargain. Paid a pretty penny for it, too. Not as much as a real one, mind you, but still more than it was worth. She was showin’ it off to everyone, braggin’ about her “Rolex.” I didn’t have the heart to tell her it was a fake. Let her have her fun, I say. She found out soon enough, though, the hard way. Started turnin’ her wrist green. Ain’t nothin’ worse than a watch turnin’ your skin green.
So, if you’re thinkin’ about gettin’ one of these Rolex Submariner watches, you be careful. Make sure you’re gettin’ the real deal. Don’t be fooled by these “high imitation” things. They ain’t worth the metal they’re made of. And if you can’t afford a real one, well, there’s plenty of other watches out there. Good, honest watches that tell the time just fine, without all the fancy stuff. They might not be a Rolex, but they will not turn your skin green, that is for sure.
You gotta look close at these things. Check the little crown, they call it. That’s the Rolex symbol. On a real one, it’s perfect. On a fake one, it might be a little off. Like it was drawn by a shaky hand. And the numbers, too. On a real Rolex, they’re crisp and clean. On a fake one, they might be blurry or crooked. You can spot it if you know where to look.
- Look at the little crown, the Rolex logo.
- Real one is perfect.
- Fake one is not so perfect.
These high imitation Rolex watches are everywhere. They sell them online, in shops, even on the street corner. Some places, they are not even hiding it. They just tell you it is fake. They will call it something like a replica, a homage, or maybe a tribute. But it is still fake. You gotta be careful, though. Some folks, they try to pass ’em off as real. They’ll tell you it’s a “steal” or a “once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.” Don’t you believe it. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. These fake Rolex watches are just no good. You are better off with something else, even if it is not as fancy. You do not want to be like Mildred, now, do you?
You know, I remember when my grandson, bless his heart, he showed me his real Rolex. Said he saved up for years to buy it. Worked hard, he did. I was proud of him. Told him to be careful with it, though. Don’t want to lose somethin’ that valuable. He said, “Grandma,” he said, “it’s more than just a watch. It’s a symbol.” A symbol of what, I don’t know. Hard work, maybe? Success? I guess so. These young folks, they got different ideas than us old folks. A Rolex Submariner is just another watch to me, but maybe it means something different to him. Anyway, it is his money. He can spend it however he wants.
But these imitation Rolex watches, they ain’t no symbol of nothin’. Except maybe bein’ fooled. Or tryin’ to fool others. So, you just remember what I told ya. Be careful out there. Don’t waste your money on these fake things. Get yourself a good, honest watch that tells the time. That’s all you really need. And if you want a real Rolex, well, you better start savin’ up. And maybe work in a coal mine for a few years, like my old man. That is if you can even find one these days. And don’t forget to ask for the real thing, not some high imitation Rolex No-Date Black Submariner. That is just a long name for a fake watch.
