My neighbor’s kid, he’s always showing off his fancy stuff. Last week it was a watch. A green one. He said it’s a “Rolex Submariner.” He said it cost more than my old cow, Bessie! Now, I don’t know much about these city things, but I know a thing or two about a good deal. And that watch, shiny as it is, it ain’t worth no ten thousand dollar! I heard that’s what these things can cost, sometimes even twelve thousand dollars. Lord have mercy! That’s more than my whole house is worth!
That kid, he keeps saying it’s a good one, a “real” one. How can I tell? He says it’s heavy. That Rolex Submariner, he says it’s 40 millimeters. What’s a millimeter? Is that bigger than an inch? He says it’s about 1.57 inches. Sounds small to me for that kind of money. But, they say these real ones, they got numbers on ’em. Like a brand on a cow, but smaller, I guess. Model numbers, serial numbers, he said. Fancy stuff.
Now, this whole thing got me thinking. If that little whippersnapper’s watch is worth that much, maybe there’s others out there, these “High imitation Rolex Submariner” things. If they look the same, and they tell time, why spend all that money on a real one? Seems silly to me. People are paying this kind of money. They say it is the demand. Whatever that means.
I saw some watches that look just like it. They say they’re “different models.” Whatever that means. They got different names, but they look the same to my old eyes. There are many watches that look like a Rolex Submariner. One of them, I think they called it “M79 Auto.” Sounds like a tractor part! But they say it looks like that Rolex Submariner, and it’s way cheaper. They say one-thirtieth of the price of the Submariner. If you ask me, the M79 sounds like a better deal. I’d rather have thirty watches than one!
But, I got to thinking, how do you know if one of these “High imitation Rolex Submariner” is any good? Is it going to stop working after a week? Is it going to turn my wrist green? There’s got to be a way to tell the good ones from the bad ones, right? Even with these copycat ones, there’s got to be some that are better than others. That kid said there’s a guide to help you tell a real Rolex from a fake one. I don’t know. Sounds complicated.
Here’s what I think, in my old lady opinion:
- Weight: If it feels like a toy, it’s probably a bad one. Even these copycat ones, if they’re made with good stuff, they should have some weight to them, right? That Rolex Submariner is heavy, they say.
- Numbers: Look for those little numbers. If they ain’t there, or they look messy, that’s a bad sign. Even the copycat ones, if they’re trying to be good, they’ll have those numbers, I reckon.
- Tick-Tock: Listen to it. Does it sound smooth? Or does it sound like it’s about to fall apart?
- Price: Now, I’m not saying go for the cheapest one. But if it’s too good to be true, it probably is. A good copycat Rolex Submariner, it’s going to cost a little something. The real ones, they say it’s because the demand is high. What do I know about demand?
If you are going to buy a High Imitation Rolex Submariner green quote, I think you should go check it out in person. Don’t just trust what you see online. Look at it, feel it, listen to it. If you are spending good money on it, make sure it’s worth it. Even if it is not real.
This Rolex Submariner thing, it’s all a big mystery to me. But I guess if you’re into that kind of thing, you do you. Just be smart about it. Don’t go spending your whole life savings on a watch, even if it is a “real” one. And if you’re going to get a copycat, make sure it’s a good one. Otherwise, you’re just throwing your money away. I say, if you know what a real Rolex Submariner looks like, it will be easier to tell if one is fake. That’s just my two cents. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got to go check on my chickens. They’re a lot less complicated than these fancy watches.
