Alright, let’s talk about them fancy watches, the Rolex thingamajigs, you know, the Submariner ones. Folks keep jabberin’ about ’em, so I figured I’d chime in with what I know. Don’t expect no fancy words, I just call it like I see it.
First off, what’s the big deal with these Rolex watches? I ain’t got a clue why folks spend so much money on ’em, but hey, it ain’t my money. If you wanna buy a watch that costs more than my ol’ mule, that’s your business. But if you gonna spend that much, you better make sure it ain’t a fake, right? Nobody wants to be swindled, especially not on somethin’ so darn expensive.
- The Hands: Now, I heard tell that the real ones, the hands are short and don’t mess with them little minute markers. The fakes, they just slap ’em on there any which way. So, if the hands are all over the place like a chicken with its head cut off, you might have yourself a problem.
- The Ticking: Seems like the real ones, that second hand, it moves all smooth and nice, not like them jumpy ones. But, there’s some fancy ones, Oysterquartz they call ’em, that do tick-tock. So don’t go thinkin’ every tickin’ watch is a fake, you gotta know what you’re lookin’ at.
- The Numbers: On them fake ones, I hear they just paint the numbers on, like a kid with a coloring book. The real ones, well, they’re probably fancier, I reckon. They probably ain’t just slapped on there with no thought.
Now, some folks, they brought in a fella who knows watches to look at a real one and a fake one side by side. That’s smart, I tell ya. You gotta compare ’em if you wanna know the difference. I ain’t got no fancy watch expert friends, so I’m just tellin’ you what I heard.
What about the box and papers? Seems like the real deal comes with a fancy box and a little card, a warranty they call it. I guess that makes sense. If you’re spendin’ a fortune, you want some kind of proof it ain’t just a piece of junk. If it just comes wrapped in newspaper, well, you mighta got yourself a problem.
And then there’s the serial number. They say it’s on the inside, by the bracelet thingy. You gotta look real close, apparently. And it ain’t just any old number, it’s gotta be put there right, look all neat and tidy. If it’s crooked or smudged, that ain’t a good sign, I tell ya.
But here’s the thing, what if you just like the way it looks? I mean, if you ain’t got a pile of money to throw around, but you like that fancy watch style, maybe you get a look-alike. Ain’t no shame in that, long as you ain’t tryin’ to fool nobody. Just be honest about it, that’s what I say.
Where do folks even buy these things? I hear there’s websites and stores, all over the place. But you gotta be careful, I’m tellin’ ya. There’s a lot of sneaky folks out there tryin’ to make a quick buck. You gotta do your homework, read reviews, ask around. Don’t just jump at the first shiny thing you see. You don’t want to spend your hard-earned money on a piece of junk that ain’t worth nothin’.
So, to sum it all up, if you’re gonna buy one of them fancy Rolex Submariner watches, you gotta be careful. Look at the hands, see how they move, check them numbers. Make sure it comes with a nice box and that little warranty card. And for goodness sake, look at that serial number! But if you just like the look and can’t afford the real deal, that’s alright too. Just don’t go around pretendin’ it’s somethin’ it ain’t. Be honest, be smart, and don’t let nobody pull the wool over your eyes.
And remember, a watch is just a watch, it ain’t gonna change your life. It might tell you the time, but it ain’t gonna make you younger, richer, or prettier. It’s just a thing, don’t let it get the better of you.
