That Rolex, you know that fancy watch? That high imitation Rolex, my neighbor’s kid, he got one. Looks just like the real deal, shiny and all. He said it’s a “No-Date Black Submariner.” I don’t know what that means, but it sure looks expensive. He wears it everywhere, showing it off. Said he got a good quote, a good price for it.
These young folks, always with their fancy stuff. Back in my day, we didn’t have all these Rolex Submariner. We had a clock on the wall, and that was good enough. Now they got these watches, these Rolex, that tell time and I don’t know what else. This one, this “Submariner,” it’s black. Like the night sky, but on your wrist.
What’s a “No-Date”?
So I asked him, “What’s this ‘No-Date’ thing?” He just laughed, said it means it doesn’t show the day of the month. Just the time. Like we need a watch to tell us what day it is! We got calendars for that. But he says it is simpler that way, more classic. This Rolex Submariner No Date, it’s the real deal, he says, even if it ain’t real. If you know what I mean.
I saw him looking at it real close one day. Said he was checking for the differences. Between the real Rolex and this copy. Said even them watch fellas, the ones who know about these things, they can’t hardly tell sometimes. That’s how good these high imitation Rolex are. But there are differences, he said, gotta look close.
Rolex Submariner: Real or Fake?
He says these fancy watches, they cost a lot. Like, a lot a lot. Thousands of those dollar bills. For a watch! I told him he coulda bought a whole cow for that kind of money. But he just said, “It’s a Rolex, it is worth it.” But this one, this high imitation Rolex No-Date Black Submariner, he got a good “quote.” Less than a cow, I reckon. Still too much for a watch if you ask me.
- Rolex Submariner: It is the real one. Big money.
- High imitation Rolex: Looks real, but ain’t. Costs less.
- No-Date: Don’t show the day. Who needs that anyway?
- Black Submariner: It’s black, like a good, dark night.
Why a Black Submariner?
Now, this black one, the Black Submariner, it’s something else. He says it’s for diving. Diving! Like those fellas who go way down in the water with those big tanks on their backs. He ain’t never done that, but he likes the watch. Says it’s tough, can take a beating. I guess that’s important if you’re wrestling with a fish or something down there.
But he also said folks who just sit at desks all day, they wear them too. These Rolex Submariner, they ain’t just for the water. They’re for show, I think. Like a peacock with its fancy feathers. This one, though, this high imitation Rolex No-Date Black Submariner, it’s like a secret. Only he knows it ain’t real.
And he likes other ones, too. That “Explorer” one. Said there are two of those. I don’t know why you need two watches called “Explorer,” but what do I know? He says it would be good to have a real Rolex. Just one. To say you got one, I guess. These young folks and their collections, like stamps or those little porcelain dolls. He likes this Black Sub, though. The no-date one.
Date or No-Date? That’s the Question.
There’s another one, he said, with the date. Shows the day of the month. Like a little calendar on your wrist. I guess that’s handy if you forget what day it is. But he likes the Rolex Submariner No Date better. Says it’s cleaner, simpler. Like a good, strong cup of coffee. No sugar, no cream. Just coffee.
He showed me pictures. One with the date, one without. They look the same to me, ‘cept for that little window with the number. But he says there’s more to it. The size, the stuff it’s made of. I don’t know. They both look like Rolex Submariner to me. Shiny, black, expensive-looking. Even the fake one. That high imitation Rolex, it’s a good copy.
He said this Rolex Submariner No Date, it’s got a history. Like an old family story. Goes way back. He told me about it, but it went in one ear and out the other. Something about divers and the ocean. I guess it’s a good story if you like that sort of thing. I prefer a good story about a talking mule I once knew, but that’s a story for another time.
So, there you have it. That’s what I know about that high imitation Rolex No-Date Black Submariner quote. It’s a watch. It’s black. It don’t tell the date. It looks like the real deal, but it ain’t. And it costs more than it should, but less than a cow. If you’re into that kind of thing. Me? I’ll stick to my clock on the wall. It might not be a Rolex, but it tells the time just fine.
