Well, let me tell you, these young folks today, they’re all about fancy things. Like them Rolex watches. My grandson, he saved up all his pennies for one. Said it’s an investment. Investment in what, I say? Looking important? Anyway, he was going on and on about this Rolex Submariner, a blue one. Said it was two colors, blue and something else. This two-tone Rolex Submariner, it has really caught my eyes.
Now, I don’t know much about these fancy watches. Back in my day, we just had a clock on the wall, and that was good enough. But I hear these Rolexes, they’re something special. They ain’t cheap, that’s for sure. And where there’s money to be made, you know there’s gonna be some folks trying to trick ya. Fake ones, they call them. High imitation Rolex, sound just like the real thing, but ain’t.
My grandson, he’s a smart one, though. He did his research. Said there are these places, specialty stores, that sell these two-tone blue Rolex Submariner. But you gotta be careful, he said. Lots of fakes out there. You gotta know what to look for. That’s the key. You need to find a trustable store, or you will get a fake one, I am telling you that.
He told me some things to watch out for. Like that ticking. I was surprised to know that. Says the real Rolex, it don’t tick like a regular clock. It’s smooth, like butter. If you hear that ticking, that’s a big red flag. Run the other way, he said. And the weight, too. The real ones are heavy, made of good stuff. The fakes, they’re lighter, made of cheap metal. It is so easy to tell the difference, just by holding them in your hands.
- The real Rolex Submariner, it don’t tick loud.
- Real ones are heavy. Feel that weight!
- These specialty stores, they know their stuff, or do they?
- Look at the letters, are they neat? Or are they all jumbled up?
- That blue color, is it right? Or does it look kinda funny?
He showed me pictures online. The real one, the blue is a certain way. Not too bright, not too dark. Just right. And the letters, all lined up perfect. The fake ones, the blue might be off, and the letters might be crooked. You need to look really close, like finding a needle in a haystack. It’s tricky business.
He said these specialty stores, they’re supposed to be experts. They should check it very carefully. But even they can get fooled sometimes, I reckon. So you gotta be extra careful. It’s your money, after all. These high imitation Rolex are too real to be fake, but they are fake.
Another thing he said was to look at the date, you know, the little number that tells you what day it is. On the real Rolex, it’s clear and easy to read. On the fakes, it might be blurry or too small. And the crown, that little symbol they have, it should be perfect. Not messy or uneven. Every little detail matters.
I asked him, “Why do you need such a fancy watch anyway?” He said it’s not just a watch, it’s a Rolex. It holds its value, he said. Like I said, an investment. I guess if you’re gonna spend that much money, you want to make sure you’re getting the real deal, not some cheap knock-off. If you buy a fake one, it won’t worth a penny, I am telling you.
He’s been looking at these two-tone blue Submariner watches in the specialty stores. Says they have all kinds of them. Gold and blue, silver and blue. This blue color is really popular now. He likes the one that’s part gold, part something else. Looks fancy, I suppose. But still, a watch is a watch to me. I don’t know why there are so many different kinds of blue color.
So, if you’re thinking about getting one of these high imitation Rolex, or even a real one, especially a two-tone blue Submariner, you better be careful. Do your research, like my grandson. Go to these specialty stores, but don’t just trust them blindly. Check that ticking, feel the weight, look at the letters, the color, the date, the crown. Everything. It is not easy to tell a real one from a fake one.
And remember, a fool and his money are soon parted. That’s what my old grandpa used to say. Don’t be a fool. Be smart. And maybe, just maybe, you’ll end up with a real Rolex, and not a fake one. Or just don’t buy one. Just use your phone to tell the time, like most people. Save your money for something else. Like a good pie. Now that’s an investment I can get behind.
