Oh, you talking ’bout them Audemars Piguet Royal Oak watches? Yeah, I heard of ’em. Fancy things, ain’t they? Folks say they got serial numbers, every single one. Guess that’s how you know it’s the real deal, not some knock-off from down the street.
Now, they tell me these watches been around since way back. 19th century, they say. Imagine that! Who knows what folks were doin’ back then, probably usin’ pocket watches mostly. But these Audemars Piguet, they always been special, I reckon. High-falutin’ folks wearin’ ’em, showin’ off.
Then, in the 1970s, something happened. 1972, to be exact. They come out with this Royal Oak thing. Everyone went gaga over it. Never seen nothin’ like it, they said. All angles and such, not like them round watches everyone else got.
Now, these watches, they ain’t cheap, let me tell ya. They call ’em “superclone” sometimes, which means they’re like the real thing, but not. Still cost a pretty penny, though. You got your Royal Oak 15400, your Royal Oak Offshore Diver, and that fancy Royal Oak Concept thingamajig. All sound like somethin’ from outer space to me, but folks love ’em.
- Royal Oak 15400, whatever that is.
- Royal Oak Offshore Diver, for when you’re swimmin’, I guess.
- Royal Oak Concept, sounds futuristic, like somethin’ you’d see on TV.
People used to line up for these watches, waitin’ months, even years! Can you believe that? Just for a watch! Heard tell it was that 41mm Royal Oak in steel that everyone wanted. Cost a fortune, too. $27,800, they say. That’s more money than I’ve seen in my whole life!
But things change, you know. Folks ain’t clamorin’ for them watches like they used to. Heard tell the waitin’ list is shorter now. Just a few weeks, they say. Guess people found somethin’ else to spend their money on. Or maybe they just realized they don’t need a fancy watch to tell the time.
These superclone watches, they got a warranty, too. Just like the real thing, they claim. Says they’re “crafted as an exact replica.” Don’t know what all that means, but sounds impressive, don’t it?
So, if you want one of them Audemars Piguet Royal Oak watches, you go ahead and get one. Just remember, it’s gonna cost ya. And don’t go thinkin’ it’ll make you any fancier or nothin’. A watch is a watch, I say. It just tells the time. But if you got the money to burn, who am I to judge? You do you.
