Alright, let’s talk about them fancy watches, the ones they call “High imitation Rolex Submariner,” yeah, that’s the ticket. Folks always wanna know, what’s the real deal and what’s the fakey-fake. I ain’t no expert, mind you, but I’ve seen a thing or two, heard a thing or two, you know how it is.
First off, the weight, that’s what they say. A real one, it’s gotta have some heft to it. They say it’s about 40 millimeters across, that’s like, this much, ya see? (Holds up fingers to approximate) A fake one, it might feel light, like tin or somethin’. You hold it in your hand, it should feel solid, like it’s worth somethin’. Not like them cheap toys they sell down at the market.
Now, they say you gotta look at the case and bracelet. What’s that mean? Well, the case, that’s the outside part, the metal thingy that holds the watch face. And the bracelet, that’s the band, the thing that goes around your wrist. They gotta be smooth, not rough like a corncob. The edges, they should be sharp, not all wonky and crooked. You run your finger along it, it should feel nice, not like it’s gonna cut ya.
And the details, oh boy, the details. That’s where they really try to trick ya. The real ones, they got them tiny little letters, all perfect and neat. The fake ones, they might be blurry or smudged, like someone sneezed on ’em. And the hands, them little pointers that tell the time, they should move smooth, not all jerky-like. You listen close, a real one, it don’t tick-tock so loud, it’s more like a gentle hum.
- Weight: Gotta be heavy, feel solid in your hand.
- Case and Bracelet: Smooth, sharp edges, not rough or wonky.
- Details: Clear letters, smooth-moving hands, quiet ticking.
They say there’s five key areas to look at, but honestly, who’s got time for all that? I just look at the weight, the feel, and if it looks right. You know, like when you’re pickin’ out a good watermelon, you thump it, you look at it, you get a feel for it. Same thing with these watches, I reckon.
Now, why would someone want a fake one, you ask? Well, maybe they can’t afford the real thing. Them Rolex watches, they cost a pretty penny, more than my old mule cost, I bet. Or maybe they just want to show off, make people think they got more money than they do. I don’t judge, everyone’s got their reasons.
But if you’re gonna buy one, you gotta be careful. There’s a lot of scammers out there, tryin’ to take your hard-earned money. They’ll tell you it’s the real deal, but it’s just a piece of junk. So, do your homework, like they say. Read up on it, ask around, don’t just jump at the first shiny thing you see. And if it seems too good to be true, it probably is. That’s what my old pappy always used to say.
And remember, a watch is just a watch. It ain’t gonna make you a better person, it ain’t gonna solve your problems. It just tells you the time, and maybe makes you feel a little fancy. But if you got your heart set on one of them “High imitation Rolex Submariner” watches, well, just make sure you ain’t gettin’ ripped off. That’s all I gotta say about that.
So whether you’re a seasoned collector, whatever that means, or just a regular Joe looking for a nice watch, be careful out there. Don’t let them smooth talkers fool you. A genuine Submariner is a big investment, like buying a good piece of land, you want to make sure it’s the real deal before you hand over your hard-earned cash.
And there you have it, that’s my two cents on the whole thing. High imitation or real, it’s your money, your choice. Just don’t come cryin’ to me if it turns out to be a fake. I warned ya, didn’t I? Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go feed the chickens.
