You know, that Rolex, that green one, they call it the Submariner. My grandson, he’s always going on about watches. Says this one, this green Rolex Submariner, is somethin’ special. High imitation ones are everywhere, he says, gotta be careful, those fakes. And those new green Submariners are classic, he says. He says many people want to buy a high imitation Rolex, and he also want to get one. I don’t know nothin’ about that.
I heard him talkin’ to his friend the other day. Said that real Rolex, it’s heavy. That high imitation Rolex will be lighter. Like holdin’ a real gold coin versus one of them chocolate ones. You can feel the difference, just like that. He says the real one, the Submariner, is about 40 of those little lines, millimeters he calls ’em. Around, he said. That’s about as big as… I don’t know, one of them bigger grapes, maybe? And that new green Submariner is also in this size.
And the hands, those little things that tell the time. He said on a real Rolex, they’re just so. Not too long, not too short. Just right, like Goldilocks’ porridge. The one that goes around for the minutes, it shouldn’t go over those little marks around the edge. If it does, then somethin’ ain’t right. That’s what he said, somethin’ ain’t right. And that high imitation Rolex may make mistakes on this point.
He was lookin’ at pictures, clickin’ away on that computer. Showed me one, said “See, Grandma, see how this one’s all shiny? A real Rolex, that new green Submariner, it ain’t gonna be all shiny like a new penny. It’s gonna be… I forget the word… dull, maybe? Not shiny.” That high imitation Rolex is too shiny, he says.
- Real Rolex is heavy.
- Real Rolex Submariner is about 40 millimeters.
- The minute hand shouldn’t overlap the marks.
- Real Rolex, not too shiny.
- Real Rolex, you can take it swimmin’.
And water! He says you can take a real Rolex, that Submariner, right into the water. Swimmin’, divin’, whatever. Won’t hurt it a bit. He said somethin’ about it bein’ sealed up tight, like when I’m puttin’ up my preserves. No water gettin’ in there. That high imitation Rolex can not do this. If you try this on a fake one, then it will break.
He showed me the back of one, all them little screws. Said that’s how you know, too. Real Rolex, that new green Submariner, got them little screws on the back, all tight. Keeps the water out, he says. The high imitation Rolex may not have these screws.
That’s about all this old lady can remember about that high imitation Rolex new green Submariner classic style stuff. That boy, he sure does love his watches. If you want one of them fancy watches, I guess you gotta be careful. Lots of tricky folks out there, tryin’ to sell you a bill of goods. It is hard to tell a real and a high imitation Rolex.
My grandson always says, “If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.” Probably good advice for more than just watches. These high imitation Rolex always have a cheap price. Like when that fella came around sellin’ those “gold” necklaces. Shiny and pretty, but turned your neck green in a day. Just like them fake watches, I reckon. A real Rolex, a Submariner, especially that new green one, it will cost a lot.
He showed me the price of that Rolex Submariner, that new green one, online once. Nearly fainted! Could buy a whole herd of goats for that kind of money. He said that’s why so many people buy high imitation Rolex. It is way much cheaper.
So many people out there, tryin’ to get somethin’ for nothin’. That high imitation Rolex is a good example. Tryin’ to look rich without actually bein’ rich. That’s the world we live in, I guess. But that new green Submariner, even I can tell that is a good-lookin’ watch. If you have that much money to spend on a watch, I guess it’s your business. But me, I’d rather have the goats.
Anyway, if you are going to buy a Rolex, be careful. That high imitation Rolex is everywhere. Especially that new green Submariner, that is a classic style, my grandson says, and many people want one. Make sure you are buying from someone you trust. Someone who knows what they’re talkin’ about. Like my grandson, he knows a thing or two about those watches.
