Hey there, y’all! Let’s gab a bit about them fancy watches, you know, the ones they call “High imitation Rolex Submariner Quote.” Don’t rightly know what all that means, but I reckon it’s about them look-alike watches. Folks are always tryin’ to make a quick buck, ain’t they?
So, you wanna know how to spot a fake Rolex Submariner? Well, I ain’t no expert, but I’ve seen a thing or two in my day. First off, look at the price. If it’s too good to be true, it probably is. You ain’t gonna get a real Rolex for a hundred bucks, that’s for sure. Them things cost a pretty penny, like buying a whole cow, maybe even two!
Now, let’s talk about the feel of the watch. A real Rolex, it’s got some heft to it. It feels solid, like a good piece of machinery. The fake ones, they often feel light and cheap, like them plastic toys they sell at the fair. You know, the kind that breaks after a day or two?
- Weight is important: Real ones are heavy.
- Material matters: Feels solid, not like cheap plastic.
Another thing to look at is the sweep of the second hand. On a real Rolex, it moves smooth as butter, no jerking or stopping. It’s like watching a smooth river flow. The fake ones, they sometimes tick-tick-tick, like a regular old clock. That’s a dead giveaway, y’all.
And then there’s the writing on the dial. On a real Rolex, it’s crisp and clear, no smudges or misspellings. Them counterfeiters, they often mess this up. The letters might be too thick or too thin, or they might be spaced wrong. It’s like when you try to write with a shaky hand, it just don’t look right. If you need glasses to read it, then maybe it ain’t right, you need to think about it for a spell.
The Cyclops lens, that little magnifying bubble over the date, that’s another thing to check. On a real Rolex, it magnifies the date nice and clear, like 2.5 times bigger. The fake ones, sometimes they don’t magnify enough, or the magnification is blurry. It’s like lookin’ through a dirty window.
Don’t forget about the bezel, that’s the ring around the face of the watch. On a real Submariner, it rotates smoothly and clicks precisely. The fake ones, they might feel loose or gritty, or they might not click at all. It’s like trying to steer a rusty old tractor, it just don’t feel right.
Now, I heard tell of somethin’ called a “Stuhrling Depthmaster”. Folks say it looks a lot like a Rolex Submariner, but it ain’t the same. It’s like comparing a store-bought apple pie to one your grandma made from scratch. They might look similar, but they sure don’t taste the same. The real Rolex, well that’s like Grandma’s pie – the best you can get.
And then there’s them serial numbers and model numbers. Real Rolexes have them, and you can check them against the company’s records. The fake ones, they might have fake numbers, or no numbers at all. It’s like tryin’ to track a stray dog, if it ain’t got no tags, you don’t know where it came from. You might get lucky though, you just never know.
I tell you what, buying a watch is like buying a pig in a poke. You gotta be careful, or you might get swindled. Don’t be afraid to ask questions, and don’t let nobody rush you into making a decision. Take your time, do your research, and if somethin’ feels off, it probably is. It’s better to walk away empty-handed than to get stuck with a lemon.
So, there you have it, a few tips from an old woman who ain’t got much sense but knows a thing or two about common sense. Remember, if you want a real Rolex Submariner, you gotta be prepared to pay for it. And if you ain’t sure, it’s always best to take it to a reputable jeweler and have them check it out. They know more about these things than I do, that’s for sure. But then again, paying some city folk for telling you something you might already know, now that’s just a waste of good money in my book.
But at the end of the day, whether it’s real or fake, a watch is just a watch. It ain’t gonna make you a better person, and it ain’t gonna solve all your problems. What really matters is how you spend your time, not what you wear on your wrist. So go out there and enjoy life, and don’t worry too much about them fancy watches. It’s just something to tell the time with, nothing more, nothing less.
