This thing, this watch thing, it’s a real head-scratcher, I tell ya. You see these young folks with their fancy Rolex watches, and you just gotta wonder, are they real? This one here, the “High imitation Rolex No-Date Black Submariner Quote”, what in tarnation does that even mean? Sounds like a mouthful of marbles to me.
They say these Rolex watches, especially the Submariner, are somethin’ special. I heard someone say it’s a “symbol of history.” History of what, I don’t know. Maybe the history of spendin’ too much money on a dang watch! Some folks, they really like these ones without the date on ’em. They call it “No Date”. They say it’s “pure”. Pure what? Pure nonsense is what I think. But hey, to each their own, right?
Now, I heard tell there are a lot of fakes out there. These “high imitation” ones, they look just like the real deal, but they ain’t. It’s like buyin’ a pig in a poke, ya never know what you’re gonna get. They say the real ones got somethin’ special inside, somethin’ called a “calibre 3135”. Sounds like somethin’ you’d find under the hood of a tractor, not in a watch. But that’s how you can tell, they say. You gotta look inside. If it ain’t got that calibre thing, it’s a fake, plain and simple.
- Real Rolex Submariner has a calibre 3135.
- Fake ones don’t, that’s what I heard!
- These “No Date” ones are popular with some folks, I guess, no one in my family though.
- Lots of fakes out there, be careful!
Now, if you’re gonna go buy one of these Rolex things, they say you gotta go to these special stores, AD somethin’ I think it was called. You gotta “build a relationship” they said. What, are you gonna marry the watch salesman? And then you put your name on a list. A list! Like you’re waitin’ for a new outhouse or somethin’. It’s all a big game, if you ask me.
Some folks, they don’t wanna play that game. They go “grey”. Now, I don’t know what that means exactly, but it sounds kinda shady to me. Like buyin’ somethin’ out of the back of a truck. But hey, if you got the money to burn, I guess you can do whatever you want. I’d rather spend my money on a good pair of boots or maybe a nice new quilt. Somethin’ practical, ya know?
This whole Rolex thing, it’s just a mystery to me. Why spend all that money on a watch when you can get a perfectly good one down at the five-and-dime for a couple of bucks? It tells the time just the same, don’t it? And if it breaks, you just get another one. No big deal. But these Rolex folks, they treat these watches like they’re made of gold or somethin’.
I remember back in my day, we didn’t have fancy watches. We told the time by the sun. And if you really needed to know the time, you could always ask someone. People were friendlier back then. Now everyone’s got their heads down, lookin’ at their phones or their fancy watches. Nobody talks to each other anymore.
So if you are thinking about buying a watch, think about what else you could buy. This Rolex Submariner, it is too much money. Buy something you need, not something you want.
This “High imitation Rolex No-Date Black Submariner Quote” thing is probably just a fancy way of sayin’ “fake watch”. Don’t be fooled by these fancy words. Just use your common sense. And if somethin’ seems too good to be true, it probably is. That’s what my old pappy used to say, and he was right more often than not.
I reckon that’s all I got to say about this Rolex business. It’s a lot of fuss over nothin’, if you ask me. But I guess some folks like that sort of thing. Me, I’ll stick to my simple life. And my simple watch. It may not be a Rolex, but it tells the time just fine. And that’s all that really matters, ain’t it?
If you really need a Rolex, be careful, buy a real one. Don’t buy one of those fake ones. But if I were you, I would not buy one at all.
