Well, ain’t this somethin’. Look at this here fancy watch, the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Rose Gold Rubber Clad. Never seen such a thing in my life, all shiny and pink. It’s got that… what do you call it… rose gold? Must be expensive, huh?
They say it’s got rubber on it too. Rubber? Like from a tire? Who woulda thought you could put rubber on a gold watch? I reckon it’s for when you’re out workin’ in the fields, so it don’t get scratched. But who’s workin’ in the fields with a gold watch, I ask ya?
- It’s real big, too. Takes up half your wrist. Gotta be heavy. Like luggin’ around a bag of potatoes all day. Makes you look important, though. Like a fella who owns a lot of land, or a big ol’ tractor.
I heard folks are sellin’ these things for a lot of money. Secondhand, they call it. People buy ’em new, wear ’em a bit, then sell ’em for more than they paid. Sounds like a good deal, if you got the money to start with. Wish I could sell my old apron for a profit like that.
Now, let me tell ya, I know a thing or two about makin’ things.
Seen my husband fixin’ the plow a million times. Takes a steady hand and a good eye. Same with makin’ one of these watches, I reckon. All them tiny parts, gotta fit just right. And that face, with all them little squares? Someone sat there for hours, makin’ those by hand. Or maybe with a machine, these days. Still, gotta know what you’re doin’.
They say it’s a sporty watch. Sporty? What’s sporty about a gold watch? You gonna wear it while you’re milkin’ the cows? Or maybe when you’re fixin’ the fence? Seems more like a watch you wear to a fancy dinner, where you eat with tiny forks and knives.
You can buy it online, too. On the internet, they call it. Don’t know much about that myself. My grandkids are always tappin’ away on their phones, lookin’ at things. Maybe they’re lookin’ at watches like this one. Seems like you can buy just about anything on that internet nowadays.
It’s got a strap, they say. Rubber strap. So, it ain’t a bracelet then? I got a bracelet, from my grandma. It’s made of beads, not rubber. But I reckon rubber is stronger. Won’t break if you’re out workin’. Still, seems funny to have a rubber strap on a gold watch. Like wearin’ your work boots to church.
- And it’s got a grey face. Grey? Like a cloudy day? Why not blue, like the sky? Or green, like the grass in the summer? Grey is just… dull. But maybe that’s what fancy folks like. Who am I to say?
They say it’s a complete set. Comes with a box, I guess. And some papers. Like when you buy a new stove, it comes with instructions. Not that I ever read them. Just figure it out as I go along. Same with this watch, I reckon. Just put it on your wrist and tell the time. No need for fancy papers.
It’s a big watch, like I said. 44 somethings. Mill… mill… millimeters? Don’t know what that means. But it’s big. Takes up your whole wrist. Makes a statement, I guess. Says, “Look at me, I got a big ol’ gold watch.”
So, there you have it. The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Rose Gold Rubber Clad. A fancy watch for fancy folks. Or maybe just folks who wanna look fancy. Either way, it’s somethin’ special. Ain’t seen nothin’ like it before. And probably won’t again, unless I win the lottery. And I don’t even play the lottery. Go figure.
