This here, this Rolex thing, they call it High imitation Rolex No-Date Black Submariner, you see. It look like real one. Big strong fella in town, he wear one, shiny and black. This one, they say, it a “copy”, but it look just the same. I saw it down the market, this fella selling them.
The real one, they got them number, you know, on the side. This copy, it got them too, but maybe not in the right place, they have them. You gotta look real close to see, it is very hard to see. They call it “serial number”. This fake one, it might have it at six o’clock. I don’t know why, maybe just to trick you! This watch, it for diving, for swimming real deep. I only ever go knee high at the river, but some folks they go deep, real deep in the ocean, very cold!
- This watch, no date.
- Just time, hour, minute.
- Black, shiny, like coal.
- They say it for “diving”.
This watch, they call it “Submariner”. No date, just time. They say it “pure”. Like the well water back home, clean and clear. No fancy stuff, just what you need, only time. That’s all you really need, ain’t it? Time to get up, time to eat, time to sleep, that is enough. No need for them date, every day the same anyway. The sun come up, the sun go down, that all you need. They also make another kind of watch call “Daytona”, that is expensive!
This copy watch, it look real good, you know. They got that little hand that look like a car, you know, that fancy car, “Mercedes”. I seen one once, years ago, come through town. Big and black, just like this watch. It is very nice, very expensive. I think the rich people they like it, because it look good. I don’t need a fancy car, I got my old cart and donkey, that’s all I need. This watch, it for show, I think. To show you got money, to show you important.
They got old ones, this Submariner, from long time ago. They call it “vintage”, like old clothes, but more money! They got number too, 5513, that an old one. Then they got new one, 124060, that the shiny new one. This Rolex company, they have a lot of watches, like “Datejust”, “GMT-Master”, “Sea-Dweller” and “Yacht-Master”. All very expensive! I don’t know why they need so many, one is enough, I think. Just to tell the time, that all it need to do.
If you want one of these copy watches, this High imitation Rolex No-Date Black Submariner, you gotta be careful. Some folks, they try to trick you, sell you a bad one. You gotta look close, make sure it look right. I don’t know all the tricks, but that fella at the market, he seem to know. He showed me, said to look at the “dial”, that the face of the watch, where the numbers are. It gotta be clean, he said, no smudges, no dirt. Real Rolex, it clean.
These copy watches, they cheaper than the real one, a lot cheaper. But still, they cost money. Not like my old watch, that one I got for a few coins years ago, still ticking. But this Rolex Submariner, it fancy, it for show. If you got the money, maybe you buy one. But me, I stick with my old watch. It tell the time just fine, and that all I need. This Submariner watch, it is a good watch for work, they say it is very strong.
I heard some folks talking, they say these copy watches, they getting better and better. Harder to tell the fake from the real. Maybe one day, no one will know! I don’t know about that. It is like other fake things, like fake jewelry or fake bags, some people like it, some people don’t. This Rolex Submariner thing, it a big deal for some folks. They talk about it like it gold or something.
- Look at the face, the “dial”.
- Look for the numbers, on the side.
- Make sure it shiny, like new.
- It heavy, like a good tool.
This watch, it a tool, they say, but also nice to look at, it is shiny. Like a farmer’s best shovel, strong and shiny. You take care of it, it last a long time. This Rolex No-Date Black Submariner, it like that. You gotta take care of it, even if it a copy. I don’t know who will buy it, maybe people who want to show off. I think it is too much, just for telling time. I just wear my old watch. But if you want one, you can go find that fella at the market. He got plenty, all kinds, different colors. But this black one, it the best, I think. It is very popular, everyone wants one. But maybe, just maybe, it not worth all the fuss, this Rolex.
