Alright, let’s talk about them Rolex Submariner watches, you know, the ones that look all fancy-schmancy. I heard folks callin’ ’em “high imitation” ones too, which I guess means they look just like the real deal, but ain’t exactly. Don’t know much about these things, but I’ll tell ya what I’ve heard.
Now, I ain’t no expert, mind you. I’m just an old woman who’s seen a thing or two. But even I can tell you, some of them watches, they shine so bright, you’d think they were made of pure gold. And the price? Lord have mercy! Enough to make your head spin. Some folks say they cost more than a whole farm! But then there’s these other ones, the “high imitation” kind. They look pretty darn good too, but don’t cost a king’s ransom.
So, what’s the deal with these Submariner watches anyway? Well, from what I gather, they’ve been around a long time. Folks been makin’ ‘em, wearin’ ‘em, and talkin’ ‘em up for years and years. They say it all started with somethin’ called a “1680”. That was the first one with the date on it, I reckon. Then they made all sorts of different ones, some with rainbow colors, some plain and simple. But the Submariner, that one’s the real famous one.
- The Look: They all look pretty much the same to me, round face, numbers on it, and a band to strap it on your wrist. But folks who know, they say there’s a big difference in the details. The real ones, they got that special somethin’ somethin’. The way the hands move, the way the light catches the metal, it’s all just…fancier.
- The Price: Like I said, the real ones cost a fortune. But these high imitation ones, they’re a whole lot cheaper. You can get one for a few hundred bucks, maybe even less if you know where to look. That’s a lot better than sellin’ the farm, ain’t it?
- The Feel: I ain’t never held one of them fancy watches myself, but I hear they feel heavy, solid. Like they’re built to last. The fake ones, well, I reckon they might not feel quite the same. But hey, if they look good and tell the time, that’s all that matters to some folks, right?
Now, here’s the thing, there’s a whole lotta fake watches out there. More fake ones than real ones, I betcha. And some of them fakes, they’re so good, it’s hard to tell the difference. That’s why you gotta be careful. If someone’s tryin’ to sell you a “Rolex” for a hundred bucks, well, it’s probably too good to be true. It’s like buyin’ a pig in a poke, you don’t know what you’re gettin’ till you open it up.
But some folks, they don’t care if it’s a fake. They just want a watch that looks good and tells the time. And there’s nothin’ wrong with that, I reckon. If you can get a watch that looks just like a real Rolex Submariner for a fraction of the price, well, why not? It’s your money, you spend it how you want.
I heard tell there’s even guides out there to help you spot a fake. They tell you what to look for, little details that the fakers miss. Like the way the letters are printed, or the way the hands move. It’s all very complicated, if you ask me. But I guess if you’re gonna spend a lot of money on a watch, you wanna make sure it’s the real deal, or at least a good imitation.
And what about them automatic ones? The ones that wind themselves up just by movin’ around? I hear they stop tickin’ if you don’t wear ‘em for a while. Got a “power reserve”, they call it. Some last longer than others, thirty hours or more, they say. So if your fancy watch stops workin’, don’t go throwin’ it out. Just give it a shake or wear it for a bit, and it might start tickin’ again.
So, there you have it. My two cents on these high imitation Rolex Submariner watches. I ain’t no expert, but I hope I gave you somethin’ to think about. Whether you want a real one, a fake one, or no watch at all, that’s your business. Just remember, it’s what’s on the inside that counts, not what’s on your wrist. And don’t go spendin’ your life savings on somethin’ you don’t need. There’s more important things in life than fancy watches, like family, friends, and a good cup of coffee. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go feed the chickens.
