Alright, let’s talk about them fancy watches, the kind the rich folks wear. They call ’em Rolex Submariners, somethin’ like that. I ain’t no expert, mind you, but I’ve heard things and seen a bit, so I’ll tell ya what I know. Don’t expect no fancy words, just plain talk, like you’d hear from, well, from me.
First off, if you’re lookin’ to buy one of these Rolex Submariner thingamajigs, you gotta be careful. Lots of fakes out there, more fakes than good ‘uns, I reckon. They try to make ’em look real, but they ain’t. So, how do you tell the difference? That’s the million-dollar question, ain’t it?
One thing they say is to look at the numbers. Every real Rolex gotta have a number, like a secret code. It’s on the side, where the strap thingy meets the watch face. You might need a magnifying glass, ’cause them numbers are tiny. And they say there should be some words too, sayin’ somethin’ about “Original Rolex Design.” Sounds fancy, huh?
- Weight is important too, them real ones are heavy, like holding a good piece of metal. Not like those flimsy tin things you get at the fair. They say it should be about 40 millimeters across, whatever that means. Big enough to see, I guess.
- The hands, them little things that tell you the time, they should move smooth, not all jerky-like. Smooth as butter, they say. If they jumpin’ around, it’s probably a fake.
- And the little window that shows the date, that should be clear and easy to read, not all squinty and hard to make out.
Now, I heard some folks talkin’ about serial numbers. That’s another set of numbers, somewhere on the watch. They say it’s like a fingerprint, each watch got its own special number. I guess you can check that number somewhere, make sure it’s a real one. Sounds like a lot of trouble if you ask me, but if you’re spendin’ that kind of money, you wanna be sure, I suppose.
But here’s the thing. If you just like the look of the watch, and you don’t care if it’s a real Rolex or not, then why bother with all this fuss? You can get a watch that looks just like it, for a whole lot less money. Nobody’s gonna know the difference, unless they’re one of them experts, and who cares what they think, anyway?
I mean, it’s just a watch, right? It tells you the time, that’s all. My old clock on the wall does that just fine, and it didn’t cost me an arm and a leg. But I guess some folks like to show off, like to have the fanciest things. To each their own, I say. It ain’t my money they’re spendin’, so it ain’t my business.
High imitation Rolex Submariner, that’s what they call the fakes, I think. They look real close, but they ain’t the real deal. It’s like them fake diamonds, they sparkle and shine, but they ain’t worth nothin’. So, if you’re gonna buy one of these Rolex watches, be careful. Do your homework, they say. Ask questions. And if it seems too good to be true, it probably is. That’s what my grandma always used to say, bless her heart.
And remember, a watch ain’t gonna make you a better person. It’s just a thing, a piece of metal. It’s what’s inside that counts, that’s what I always say. Be kind, be honest, work hard, and don’t worry about what other folks got. That’s the real secret to a good life, not some fancy watch on your wrist.
So, there you have it. That’s all I know about them Rolex Submariner watches. Like I said, I ain’t no expert, but I hope this helps you a little bit. If you’re gonna buy one, be smart about it. Don’t get ripped off. And if you can’t afford it, don’t sweat it. There’s more important things in life than a fancy watch, believe you me.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go feed my chickens. They’re more reliable than any watch, always knowin’ when it’s time to eat.
