Alright, let’s talk about them fancy green Rolex watches, the Submariner kind. You know, the ones all them rich folks wear. Heard tell they cost a pretty penny, but there’s lots of fakes out there too, so gotta be careful, I reckon.
What’s this Rolex Submariner Green thing anyway? Well, from what I gather, it’s a watch. A real fancy one. Green, like a good ol’ corn stalk in the summer. People say it’s real sturdy, can go underwater and all that. Probably good for divin’ for catfish, though I ain’t never seen a catfish worth that much money. They say it keeps real good time too. Not like my old cuckoo clock that goes off whenever it pleases. This here Rolex, it’s supposed to be the best, or so they say. The “Submariner” part, I guess, means it’s for folks who go underwater. Maybe it’s good for finding them lost treasures in the creek, though all I ever find is rusty cans and old tires.
Where to get one, and not get tricked? Now, this is the tricky part. See, lots of folks out there tryin’ to make a quick buck, sellin’ you somethin’ that ain’t worth a lick. If you’re thinkin’ ’bout buyin’ one of them green Rolex watches, you gotta be real careful. Don’t go buyin’ it from some fella on the street corner, that’s for sure. Heard tell there’s fancy stores that sell ’em, the kind with shiny floors and folks in suits. Probably charge you an arm and a leg though. Then there’s the internet, but that’s like a wild goose chase, never know what you’re gonna get.
- Look Close: The real ones, they got special marks, little details that the fakes don’t have. Like the way the hands move, or the little numbers on the face. You gotta look real close, like you’re lookin’ for a four-leaf clover. Heard tell the real ones got a smooth sweepin’ second hand, not a jerky one like my old watch.
- Papers and Boxes: The real deal comes with papers, like a birth certificate for a watch, I guess. And a fancy box too. If it just comes wrapped in newspaper, well, you might have been had. It’s like buyin’ a prize-winning pig, you want the papers to prove it.
- Ask Around: If you know someone who knows about watches, ask ‘em. Two heads are better than one, especially when one of them heads knows about fancy watches. It’s like askin’ for directions, no shame in it.
- Price too Good? Probably Fake: If someone’s sellin’ you a Rolex for the price of a chicken dinner, somethin’ ain’t right. Them things cost a lot, so if the price seems too good to be true, it probably is. Like findin’ a twenty-dollar bill on the ground, you gotta wonder where it came from.
Why folks want ‘em anyway? Beats me. Seems like a lot of money for somethin’ that just tells time. But I reckon it’s about more than that. It’s about showin’ off, lettin’ folks know you got money to spare. Like drivin’ a big shiny car, or wearin’ clothes with fancy labels. It’s a status thing, I hear. Makes some folks feel important. Me? I’m happy with my old watch, the one that’s been tickin’ along for years. It may not be fancy, but it tells me when it’s time to feed the chickens, and that’s all that matters.
More about the look of it: They say the green on them Rolex watches is real special, a real deep green, like a forest after a rain. And the metal, it’s supposed to be real strong, so it don’t scratch easy. The face, that’s what they call the part with the numbers, it’s real clear and easy to read, even if you got bad eyes like me. And they got this little magnifier thingy, makes the date bigger so old folks like me can see it. It’s got a fancy name, “cyclops,” I think. Sounds like somethin’ out of a fairy tale, if you ask me.
So, you plannin’ on buyin’ a high imitation Rolex Submariner Green? Well, I hope you know what you’re doin’. It’s your money, you can do what you want with it. But just remember what I told you. Be careful, look close, and don’t get fooled. There’s a lot of snakes in the grass, tryin’ to take your hard-earned cash. Me, I’ll stick with my old watch, the one that’s been with me through thick and thin. It may not be fancy, but it’s honest. And that’s more than you can say for some folks these days.
Finding a good place to buy, that ain’t easy neither: I hear tell there’s places you can buy used watches, but that’s even riskier than buyin’ new. You don’t know where that watch has been, or what it’s been through. Could be stolen, could be broken, could be a fake so good even the experts can’t tell. If you’re gonna buy used, you better bring someone who knows what they’re lookin’ at. Someone who can spot a fake from a mile away. And even then, you gotta be careful. It’s a jungle out there, I tell you. A real jungle.
Some words of wisdom from an old woman: Don’t go spendin’ all your money on somethin’ you don’t need. A watch is a tool, not a toy. It’s supposed to tell you the time, not make you feel like a king. There’s more important things in life than fancy watches. Like family, friends, and a good home-cooked meal. But hey, if you got the money and you want that green Rolex, go for it. Just don’t come cryin’ to me when you realize it ain’t worth the price you paid.
