Oh boy, you talkin’ ’bout them Rolex watches, the fancy ones? I hear them young folks talkin’ ’bout them all the time. What’s that one called? The black… something? Black Submariner, yeah, that’s the one. You want to know ’bout where to get them, but not the real expensive ones, right? The ones that look just like ’em? The high imitation ones? Well, I heard a thing or two.
These high imitation Rolex, they call ’em “replicas” now, fancy word. They look just like the real deal, you wouldn’t know the difference. I seen one once, shined just like the sun off a tin roof. Even had that little circle thing on it, the, uh, logo. And the face of it, the dial they call it, looked just the same. All them little markings and such. Goodness, they make ’em good these days.
Now, why would someone want one of these Rolex Submariner, the real ones I mean? Well, they say it’s a good thing to put your money in. Like plantin’ seeds, you wait and it grows, that’s what they say. ‘Cause these watches, they keep their worth. Don’t lose their shine, like an old penny. More like a good gold piece. They say it is the best one for sports, whatever that means. But I guess if you’re into that sort of thing, it’s the one to get.
But these fake ones, these first copy Rolex, they’re gettin’ popular. ‘Cause they look the same, but they don’t cost ya an arm and a leg. Now, I ain’t sayin’ it’s right or wrong, just sayin’ what I hear. People like to look good, don’t they? And if they can do it without spendin’ all their money, well, who am I to judge?
You see one you like, you gotta be careful. There are a lot of those imitation ones out there, and some are not so good. Like buyin’ a pig in a poke, you gotta know what you’re gettin’. You find the one you want, you look it over real good.
- Make sure it shines right.
- Check that little circle thing, the logo.
- Look at the face, the dial, make sure it’s all neat and tidy.
I heard if you buy one that is gold, it is special. Not sure why, but that is what the people say. Gold is always good, I reckon. If you buy a gold fake one, make sure it looks like real gold. A good fake one will fool a lot of people.
Now, how do you know if a Rolex is real or not? ‘Cause that’s the big question, ain’t it? I heard there’s ways to tell. Here’s what I heard:
- The real ones, they’re heavy. Feel like somethin’ solid in your hand.
- That little tick-tock sound, it’s real smooth on a real Rolex.
- Look at the back, the real ones got all sorts of fancy writin’ on ’em.
- The date thingy, on a real one, it’s clear as a bell. The fake ones are blurry sometimes.
- The little crown thingy, that’s another sign. It’s gotta be just right.
- Water. The real ones don’t mind water. I ain’t sayin’ to dunk it, but it should be okay.
- That glow-in-the-dark stuff, it lasts longer on the real ones.
- The numbers, they gotta be perfect. Not sloppy like.
- The metal, it should feel smooth, not rough.
- Look at it under a magnifying glass. The real ones are perfect, even up close.
- The serial number. Every real Rolex has one. Look it up, make sure it is good.
- If the price is too good to be true, it probably ain’t real.
So, you see, it ain’t easy tellin’ a real one from a fake one. You gotta be a real detective. But if you’re careful, and you know what to look for, you can find a high imitation Rolex Submariner that looks just like the real thing. Just don’t go braggin’ ’bout it too much, or someone might catch on.
These specialty stores, they ain’t like your regular stores. You gotta know where to find ’em. Sometimes they’re hidden away, like a secret. You gotta ask around, find someone who knows. They ain’t gonna advertise on the TV, that’s for sure. It is like a secret club, almost. You gotta know the password to get in. Just kidding, there ain’t no password. But you get what I mean.
I heard them young folks talkin’ ’bout buyin’ them online, too. But I don’t know ’bout that. Seems risky to me. You can’t see it, can’t feel it. How you gonna know if it’s any good? But, I guess that’s the way things are these days. Everything’s movin’ to that internet. Just be careful, that’s all I’m sayin’. These days, you never know who you are dealin’ with. Don’t want to get fooled. Make sure you are buyin’ from someone who knows what they are doin’.
Well, I hope that helps you some. It’s a lot to think about, buyin’ one of these watches. Whether it’s a real one or a fake one, it’s a big decision. Just remember what I told ya, and you’ll be alright. You take your time, and don’t be in a hurry. Find one you like, and enjoy it. That is what matters.
