This old lady, I tell ya, I seen a lot of things in my life. But these days, everyone’s talkin’ ’bout these fancy watches. My grandson, he’s always on about them Rolex things. Says they’re the best, worth more than my whole darn house! He showed me one called a Submariner. Black and shiny, it was. Two colors, he said. Two-tone, that’s the word. He said it’s a real classic style, whatever that means.
Now, I don’t know nothin’ ’bout fancy watches. My old watch, it tells the time just fine. But these Rolex Submariner things, they got a lot of folks fooled. My grandson told me, there are lots of fake ones out there. He said it’s like that high imitation stuff. Look close, he said, and you can tell. But from far away, you wouldn’t know the difference, those fake Rolex are good.
He showed me pictures. Shiny, they were. Black and gold, mostly. This two-tone black Submariner, it’s a popular one, he says. Everyone wants one. And if they can’t get a real one, they get a fake. They are all counterfeit watch. I guess folks just want to look fancy, even if it ain’t real. And I think they want the classic style.
This Rolex, it’s got this circle part, with numbers on it. My grandson says it’s for divers. Divers? What do I know about divers? I just know it spins around. And it’s got this little window that shows the date. Handy, I guess. But my old watch has that too. Ain’t no need for all that extra stuff, I reckon.
He says the real ones, they’re heavy. Made of good stuff. The fake ones, they feel light, like tin. And the ticking, he says, it’s different. The real Rolex, it ticks smooth. The fakes, they tick kinda jerky. This two-tone black Submariner, the real one has the smooth tick, but the high imitation one have the jerky one. I can not tell the different, they are all good.
And the shiny part, he says, it’s different too. The real Rolex, it shines just right. The fakes, they shine too much, or not enough. It’s all confusing to me. But I guess if you’re gonna spend all that money, you want the real deal, not some counterfeit watch, no matter how classic style it looks like.
There is a word my grandson told me. He said, some watch is like the Rolex Submariner, but not Rolex. It is called homages. I think it is still high imitation. But some people like it. I don’t know why. If you want Rolex, you should buy Rolex. If you don’t, just buy some cheap one.
- Shiny black part
- Gold parts
- Numbers that go around
- Little window for the date
- Heavy, if it’s real
My grandson, he keeps going on about the black color. Said some is bright, some is not that bright. He said it is sunburst or gloss black. I don’t know what these mean. They are both black. Maybe one is a little more bright. But they are all black. I think different people like different black. Just like some people like red, some people like blue. It is just what you like.
So, this high imitation Rolex two-tone black Submariner, it’s a thing, I guess. I still don’t understand why folks make such a fuss. A watch is a watch. It tells the time. That’s all that matters. But if you got the money, and you want a classic style, I suppose you could do worse. Just make sure you’re getting a real one, not one of them fake Rolex things. My grandson told me, if you know the real one, you will know the fake one. But if you don’t, you will be fooled. So be careful.
But hey, what do I know? I’m just an old lady. I just wear my old watch. It still works. That’s good enough for me. You young folks, you do what you want. You want the two-tone black Submariner? You want the high imitation one? You do you. Just be happy, that’s all that matters. And if you see a good fake, let me know. Maybe I’ll get one for my grandson. Just kidding! Or am I?
These days, everyone wants to look rich. Even if they ain’t. These fake Rolex watches, they’re a dime a dozen. But if you know what to look for, you can spot ’em a mile away. The real Rolex Submariner, that’s a different story. It’s like a good work, you know? You can feel the quality. But that two-tone black Submariner, with the shiny black and the gold, that’s the one everyone wants. Even the fake ones, they try to copy that classic style.
