This here Rolex Black Submariner, I hear folks talkin’ ’bout it all the time. They say it’s a real fancy watch. Shines like a new penny, that’s for sure. Some folks, they want that fancy look but their wallets ain’t so fat. They call it “high imitation”, sound like a joke to me. But I guess it’s close enough for them.
They say you can get one of these “Rolex replica” things, look just like the real deal. Some place called “Istanbul”, I heard they’re makin’ these things over there, even them watch fellas can’t tell the difference! They call ’em “super clones” now. Sounds silly, don’t it?
- Rolex Submariner, that’s the name they all holler about.
- Black dial, black spinnin’ thing around the edge.
- Big ol’ dots so you can see the time, even in the dark.
I seen some of these watches, they do look nice. This one fella, he showed me his. Said it cost him a whole heap of money. Nine thousand, ten thousand dollars! Can you believe that? More than my old car! And that was for a used one. He called it “pre-owned”. I guess they think that sounds better than used, like it’s still fancy. Well, I told him, that’s a lot of money for something that just tells the time! But I guess people like showin’ off. They called it a “Rolex craze“.
Some of these watches, they got gold on ’em. Yellow gold, they say. Those ones, they cost even more. Twelve thousand dollars! For a watch! Back in my day, you could buy a whole house for that kind of money. Nowadays these kids want their Rolex.
They say these watches, they hold their value. Like you can sell ’em later for just as much money. I don’t know about that. Seems like a gamble to me. But what do I know? I’m just an old lady. I ain’t never had no Rolex. Wouldn’t know what to do with one if I did.
They say this Rolex Submariner, it ain’t changed much in a long time. Since 1953, they been makin’ ’em. Same black face, same spinnin’ thing. I guess if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. That’s what my old grandpa used to say.
These young folks today, they all glued to their phones. They see these fancy watches on there, and they want one. “Social media”, they call it. Back in my day, we just talked to each other face to face. Didn’t need no fancy phone to do that. And we sure didn’t need no ten thousand dollar watch to tell the time. We had the sun for that, and it was free!
If you wanna get the back off one of these watches, I heard there’s a special tool you need. Costs about thirty dollars, they say. You can get it on that Amazon place. You know, the one that delivers all them boxes to your door.
They say these Rolex watches, they made from good stuff. “Finest raw materials”, they say. And they put ’em together real careful. Must be why they cost so much, I reckon. They made in a place called Switzerland, way over across the ocean. They think they’re better than everyone I guess.
There’s this place, “SwissClones”, I heard some fellas talkin’ about. They sell these fake Rolexes, these “super clones”. They got all the different kinds, like this Submariner, and some others called Daytona and Datejust. Sounds like a race car and a calendar, don’t it? These young folks and their names.
Now, I ain’t sayin’ you should go buy one of these fake watches. That ain’t right. But I can see why some folks might be tempted. They want to look like they got money, even if they don’t. It’s a silly world we live in, ain’t it?
This whole Rolex thing, it’s a mystery to me. But I guess it makes some folks happy. And I suppose that’s all that matters. Me? I’ll stick to my old watch. It tells the time just fine, and it didn’t cost me an arm and a leg.
This official flagship store for Rolex, I don’t know where you find one. They must be hidding them someplace. Maybe they are afraid someone will steal them. Probably only let you in if you look like you got a lot of money.
Well, that’s all I got to say about these Rolex Submariner watches. It’s a lot of fuss about a little ol’ timepiece, if you ask me. But hey, to each their own, as they say.
