That fancy Rolex Two-tone Black Submariner, you see it everywhere these days. Official store, they say? Hah! More fakes out there than chickens in my old coop. I seen ’em, and lemme tell you, some are so good, they’d fool a preacher. But an old gal like me, I got eyes like a hawk. I can spot a fake quicker than a fox in a henhouse. This here thing, it’s gonna be about them high imitation Rolex. How to tell the real thing from some cheap knock-off.
Now, the real Rolex Submariner, that’s a whole other story. That’s a watch for a king. Solid, heavy, feels like a brick on your wrist. Them fakes, they’re light, like a feather. You pick ’em up, you can tell right away. They ain’t got the heft, you know? Like they’re made outta tin cans or somethin’. The real deal, that’s made outta good stuff, strong stuff. Stuff that lasts. Those imitation things, they use the cheap metal. Feel it, and you’ll know.
And the way they’re put together, the real ones are smooth. Like a baby’s bottom. Them fake Rolex, they got rough edges, all bumpy and uneven. Like they were put together by a blind man in a hurry. They don’t care about making it nice, they just want your money. They polish them up, try to make ’em shiny, but it ain’t the same. It takes the good stuff to make it smooth and the good hand to make it last. The real one is like a piece of art. The fake one is just a piece of junk.
And the numbers, oh the numbers! On a real Rolex, them numbers are clear, sharp. Like they were carved by an angel. On a fake, they’re all blurry and messy. Like a chicken scratched ’em on there. You look close, you can see the difference. They try to copy it, but they can’t. It’s like trying to copy the stars in the sky. You can try, but you’ll never get it right. A true one got them numbers lined up perfect, like soldiers on parade. The Rolex serial number, you can find that at the bottom. You know, where the watch meets the band. It’s a secret code, tells you everything about that watch. You can look that number up.
- First thing, you gotta feel the weight. Real ones are heavy.
- Then you look at how it’s made. Smooth and perfect is what you want.
- Look at them numbers. Clear and sharp is the sign of a real one.
- That little number at the bottom, that’s important too.
The ticking, that’s another thing. A real Rolex, it ticks smooth, like a cat purring. A fake one, it ticks loud, like a rusty old tractor. You can hear it from across the room. It ain’t right. The real one got that special Rolex thing inside, makes it tick just so. Them fakes, they got some cheap thing inside, probably made in some back alley somewhere. They just throw anything in there, long as it ticks. The real thing, that got a special heart, a Rolex heart. Beats strong and true. The fake one, it got a weak heart. Won’t last long.
And the glass, oh, that glass! A real one, that’s good, strong glass. You can tap it, and it feels solid. The fake, that’s just cheap plastic. Feels like it’ll break if you look at it too hard. And it scratches easy, too. Like a cat sharpened its claws on it. The real one, that glass is like a shield. Protects the watch. The fake one, that ain’t protecting nothing. The glass is clear, so clear you can see everything inside that watch.
They say these fakes are getting better. Maybe so. But they’ll never be as good as the real thing. They can copy the look, but they can’t copy the quality. They can’t copy the heart. They can’t copy the soul. That official flagship store, they sell the real things. Some of those fancy stores in the city, they might sell the fake stuff. You gotta be careful where you buy. You gotta know what you’re looking for. You gotta know the difference between a real Rolex and a fake one. You gotta know how to check the Rolex Submariner to see if it’s real or not.
These young folks, they don’t know. They see a shiny watch, and they think it’s the real deal. They don’t know about the weight, the feel, the ticking. They don’t know about the numbers, the glass, the way it’s put together. They just see the name, and they think they’re getting a bargain. They’re getting fooled, that’s what they’re getting. They’re throwing their money away on a piece of junk. They should come to me. I’d tell ’em. I’d show ’em. I’d teach ’em how to spot a fake. I’d save ’em a lot of money, and a lot of heartache.
So, next time you see one of them high imitation Rolex Two-tone Black Submariner watches, you remember what I told you. You remember the weight, the feel, the ticking. You remember the numbers, the glass, the way it’s put together. And you remember that old gal who told you how to spot a fake. Because only a real Rolex is worth your money. Don’t get fooled by some cheap imitation. You deserve the best. You deserve a real Rolex. Not a fake thing. Not a piece of junk.
