Hey, you young folks listen up! This old gal’s gonna tell you somethin’ about buyin’ them fancy Rolex watches, especially that green Submariner one. Everybody wants one, my grandson told me. It’s a hot cake, he said. So many fakes out there. Gotta be careful, you hear?
First thing, them real Rolexes, they’re heavy. Like, real heavy. My old man’s watch, not a Rolex, mind you, but it’s heavy too. This new green Rolex Submariner, it is supposed to be 40 millimeters. That’s like, uh, one and a half inches, I think. If it ain’t that size, you’re gettin’ fooled! They call it the case diameter, whatever that means. It’s the size of the watch face, not the band.
Now, my eyes ain’t what they used to be, but I can still spot a fake a mile away. You look real close at that Rolex. The real ones, they’re made perfect. No scratchy edges, no funny-lookin’ numbers. Everything’s smooth and shiny. Like a polished apple. If it looks rough, like a bad haircut, that ain’t no real Rolex Submariner, that’s for sure.
And that little window where the date is? On a real Rolex, it’s like a little magnifying glass. Makes the number big and easy to see. Even for these old eyes. If it’s just flat glass, and you gotta squint to see the date, somethin’ ain’t right. You gotta be sharp about these things when you buy a new green Submariner.
Then there’s the sound. Now, I don’t know much about these newfangled watches, but a real Rolex, it’s supposed to tick real quiet. Like a mouse sneakin’ around the pantry. You put it up to your ear, you should barely hear it. If it’s tickin’ loud like that old clock in the church tower, somethin’s fishy. Don’t let them fast-talkin’ city folks fool ya!
The back of the watch, they call it the case back. A real Rolex, it’s gonna be plain. Smooth as a baby’s bottom. No fancy writin’, no pictures, nothin’. Just plain metal. Them fakes, they like to put all sorts of stuff back there. Tryna make it look important. Don’t you fall for it when you are going to buy a new green Submariner.
- Heavy like a good iron skillet.
- Smooth all over, no rough edges.
- Date window is like a magnifying glass.
- Ticks real quiet, like a whisper.
- Plain back, no fancy stuff.
You listen to these things, and you should be able to avoid gettin’ a fake Rolex. Now, where you buy it, that’s important too. Don’t be buyin’ no fancy watch from some fella on the street corner. Go to a real store. One that’s been around a while. One that folks trust. It’s better to pay a little more and be safe, then it is to try and save a few bucks and get cheated.
They got these fancy stores, all shiny and bright. They got people in there wearin’ suits and ties. They know about these watches. They can tell you everything you need to know. And they got papers, too. Papers that say the watch is real. Important papers. Don’t you buy no Rolex without them papers! It’s a good rule to follow.
Another thing, them real Rolexes, they don’t come cheap. If the price is too good to be true, it probably is. You ain’t gonna find a real Rolex Submariner for a couple hundred bucks. No way, no how. It’s gonna cost ya. But if you want the real deal, you gotta pay the price. And this new green Submariner is really popular.
So, you young folks, you be careful out there. There’s a lot of folks tryin’ to make a quick buck sellin’ fake stuff. Use your head. Look close. Listen close. Don’t be afraid to ask questions. And if somethin’ don’t feel right, walk away. There’s plenty of other watches out there. But if you gotta have that new green Submariner, just be smart about it. Don’t buy from a shady shop.
And remember what this old gal told ya. It’s better to be safe than sorry. Especially when you’re spendin’ that kind of money. You don’t wanna be walkin’ around with a fake on your wrist. People will know. They’ll know you got fooled. It’s a shame, but that’s the truth. Be careful and think before you buy it.
