You know what? This Rolex Submariner, everyone wants one. My grandson, he always talks about this watch. Says it’s the best. I don’t know about that, but it sure looks shiny. He showed me pictures, green ones, blue ones, all kinds. This green one, they call it the green Submariner. Fancy, huh? I think it look alright.
So, he says, “Grandma, I gonna get me one of them Rolex Submariner green watches.” But these watches, they cost more than my old cow Bessie! And then he tells me, “Some are fake, Grandma. Fake!” Can you believe it? People make these fake watches, look just like the real ones. Hard to tell. I said, “Boy, how you gonna know if it’s real or not?”
He started talking all fast, like he does. Something about the top, how it looks. Says the real one is all flat and sits in there nice and snug. But you need good eye to see. Like finding a needle in a haystack, I say. These young folks and their fancy words.
- Rolex Submariner green, that’s what he wants.
- He says many are fake.
- Real ones are flatter on top, he says.
- Hard to tell the difference.
Then he goes on about how they got these other Rolex watches, too. GMT Master II, Datejust, Daytona, Sea-Dweller. Sounds like a bunch of fish to me! But he says, “No, Grandma, they’re all different kinds of Rolex watches.” I don’t know nothing about that, all them different names.
He said, “If you want high imitation Rolex Submariner, you gotta be careful. People, they take your money, and give you a fake one.” High imitation, that’s what he said. Fancy words for fake!
My grandson, he’s a good boy, but he gets excited about these things. He says, “Grandma, I’m gonna learn how to tell a real Rolex Submariner green from a fake one.” Good for him, I say. You gotta be smart these days. Too many folks trying to trick you.
He showed me this other watch one time, a fake one next to a real one. Honestly, I couldn’t tell which was which. They both looked like watches to me! He was pointing and saying, “See, Grandma, this here, that there.” I just nodded. He knows these things better than me. I tell time by the sun, mostly.
He kept talking about this Submariner 116610LN. Another name. I said “Boy, you just want a watch tell time, don’t worry about name!” but he didn’t listen. He got his mind on that green one, Rolex Submariner green. He said that’s the one he wants, and he’s gonna get it. I hope he don’t spend all his money on it! He work hard on the farm. He should keep money for important things.
This purchasing thing, it’s tricky. You gotta know what you’re doing. Especially with these high imitation Rolex Submariner watches. They’re everywhere, he says. You gotta have a good eye, know what to look for. It’s like buying a good horse. You gotta check its teeth, its legs, make sure it ain’t lame. Same with these watches, I guess. Lots of things to check, all them little details.
- High imitation Rolex, they look real good.
- Gotta be careful when purchasing.
- Lots of fakes out there.
- Need to know what to look for.
My grandson, he’s set on this Rolex Submariner green. He keep looking on that computer thing. He says, “I’m gonna learn everything about it, Grandma. I’m gonna be a pro at this Rolex Submariner purchasing.” I just hope he doesn’t get fooled. It’s a lot of money for a watch, even if it is a Rolex. I told him, “Be careful, boy. Don’t let them city slickers trick you.” He just laughed. He thinks he knows everything. Maybe he does. But I still worry. A fool and his money are soon parted, as they say.
These high imitation Rolex Submariner watches, they’re a problem. People making them, selling them. It ain’t right. But what you can do? My grandson, he said, he gonna buy from good place. I said, “Where is good place?” He said, “I find out, Grandma.” I hope he right. He save all his money for that green one, that Rolex Submariner green. He better not buy a fake one. I tell him be careful, all the time, be careful.
