Well, let me tell ya ’bout them fancy watches, the kind they call “High imitation Rolex Submariner Green Original order.” Don’t rightly know what all them words mean together, but I reckon it’s about them green Rolexes that look just like the real deal. Folks always wantin’ the best, but not everyone’s got the money for it, ya know? So, they go lookin’ for these “high imitations.”
Now, I ain’t no expert, but I’ve seen a thing or two. My old man used to say, “If it shines too much, it ain’t worth much.” And that’s kinda how I see these watches. The real ones, they got a weight to ’em. I heard tell they’re about 40 millimeters across, that’s like, uh… a bit more’n an inch and a half, I reckon. You feel that heft when you hold it, like it’s somethin’ substantial, not just some flimsy piece of tin.
- Weight: That’s the first thing, the weight. A real one feels heavy, like it’s made of somethin’ good. Them fakes, they feel light and cheap.
- Shiny Stuff: And then there’s the shiny stuff. The real ones, they don’t shine too much. It’s a soft shine, not like a mirror. Them fake ones, they’re like lookin’ into a Christmas ornament, all glitzy and cheap lookin’.
I heard tell there’s this “Luminosity Test,” somethin’ about seein’ if it glows in the dark right. Sounds fancy, but I figure it’s just another way to tell if it’s made good. The real ones, they glow just so, not too bright, not too dim, just right. Like a firefly on a summer night. Them fakes, they probably glow all crazy or not at all.
See, these folks makin’ the good stuff, they take their time. They use good materials, and they put it together real careful. Them fake ones, they just want to make it fast and cheap. So they cut corners, they use cheap stuff, and it shows. You can feel it in the weight, you can see it in the shine, and I bet you can tell by that glowin’ test too.
Now, some folks say you can tell by lookin’ at the edges. The real ones, they ain’t all rounded off and smooth. They got sharp edges, clean lines. That’s ’cause they’re made right. Them fakes, they’re often all smooth and polished, like they’re tryin’ to hide somethin’. It’s like when you’re lookin’ at a field, the real furrows are straight and deep, not all wavy and shallow.
And don’t forget the details. I’ve seen pictures of them real Rolexes, and they got these tiny little marks, these little words, all neat and tidy. Them fakes, they might try to copy it, but it ain’t never quite right. It’s like tryin’ to copy your grandma’s cookin’, you might get close, but it ain’t never gonna taste the same.
I’ve heard folks talkin’ ’bout getting these “replicas” delivered for free, all over the world. Sounds too good to be true, if you ask me. Them good things, they ain’t never free. You gotta pay for quality, for somethin’ that’s gonna last. You wanna buy a watch that’s gonna fall apart after a few months, well, that’s your business. But if you want somethin’ good, somethin’ real, you gotta be willin’ to pay for it.
So, if you’re lookin’ at one of these “High imitation Rolex Submariner Green Original order” watches, take your time. Look at it close. Feel the weight. Check the shine. And if somethin’ feels off, it probably is. Don’t be fooled by fancy words or cheap prices. A good thing is a good thing, and a fake thing is just a fake. That’s all there is to it, I reckon.
And remember what my old man used to say, “You get what you pay for.” He wasn’t a fancy fella, but he knew a thing or two about what’s real and what ain’t. And that’s good enough for me.
