This year that Rolex new green Submariner, my neighbor’s kid got one. He said it’s high imitation, still lookin’ good, right? That green color, just like a big emerald, shiny and pretty. He wears it all the time, showin’ it off, that little show-off. He said this Rolex Submariner is a classic style, never goes outta style. I don’t know much ’bout these fancy watches, but it does look nice on him, I gotta say.
He told me all about it, how it’s made and everything. Said the real ones are crazy expensive, more than what our whole house is worth! But these high imitation Rolex ones, they’re much cheaper, still look the same, he said. He got his online, someplace. He’s always on that internet thing, buyin’ and sellin’ stuff.
I seen him lookin’ at it real close one day. He said he was checkin’ the numbers. Said the numbers on the fake ones are usually painted, not like the real ones. He was sayin’ somethin’ ’bout “solid end links” and “clasp engravings.” Sounds like gibberish to me, but he seemed to know what he was talkin’ about. This Rolex Submariner classic style, is a big deal to him, I guess. He is happy to have it. He loves watches.
He even showed me how the second hand moves. Said the fake ones tick, but the real ones, or even the good fakes, they got a smooth movement, like they’re glidin’. I watched it, and yeah, it did look kinda smooth. He said it’s ’cause of somethin’ called the “movement” inside. Said the good ones have a “high-quality movement.” Whatever that means. But seems to be important for the Rolex new green Submariner.
I asked him how he can tell if it’s a good fake or not. He said there are people who can tell you right away, some kind of watch experts. And they can tell you a price, what they call a “quotation”, for a real Rolex Submariner, or even a good fake one. He also said that there’s lots of fake ones out there, gotta be careful. Many details can help you tell it’s fake or not. He told me a lot, but I forget most of it. These things are not my cup of tea.
Anyways, this whole high imitation Rolex thing got me thinkin’. Maybe it ain’t so bad to have somethin’ that looks nice, even if it ain’t the real deal. Long as it tells the time, that’s all that matters, right? I use my cellphone to see the time now. That’s enough for me.
But that green color, it is pretty. Maybe I’ll ask him to show me again sometime. Just to look, you know. Not that I’d ever buy one. Too much money for an old lady like me. I can buy something else with that money. I don’t need that Rolex new green Submariner.
- That boy, he keeps talkin’ ’bout other watches too.
- Said there’s one called “Marine Star,” somethin’ like that.
- He said it’s a good one if you can’t afford a real Rolex, under $500, he said.
- Then there’s another one, “Steinhart Ocean One Ceramic,” he called it the best “homage” to the Rolex Submariner.
- I don’t know what that means, “homage.” Sounds fancy.
- He just likes to talk about these watches.
I still don’t get why folks spend so much money on these things. But I guess if it makes ’em happy, who am I to judge? That Rolex Submariner classic style is popular. That’s what he told me. It’s always the same. That’s why it’s classic. I don’t know if it’s true or not. But he knows a lot about watches. He may be right.
My neighbor’s kid, he’s a good boy, even if he is a bit obsessed with these watches. He works hard, helps his mama out. He told me he saved money for a long time to buy this high imitation Rolex. So maybe it’s okay for him to have somethin’ nice.
I guess everyone’s got their own thing, right? Some folks like fancy cars, some like fancy houses. This boy, he likes his fancy watches. And that green Rolex new green Submariner, well, it’s his pride and joy. I don’t understand. But he’s happy. That’s good.
