Listen up, y’all, let’s talk about them fancy watches, the kind them city folks wear. They call ’em “High imitation Rolex Submariners,” somethin’ like that. Sounds mighty important, don’t it? I ain’t no expert, mind you, just tellin’ it like I see it.
What’s all the fuss about?
Now, these “Rolex Submariners,” they’re supposed to be real good watches, the best of the best, they say. But they cost a pretty penny, more money than I ever seen in my life! That’s why folks started makin’ these “high imitations.” They look like the real deal, but don’t cost near as much.
How to Spot a Fake One?
- Look at the Weight: A real one, it’ll feel heavy, like it’s made of somethin’ solid. Them fake ones, they often feel light and cheap.
- Check the Hands: The hands on a real “Submariner,” they move smooth, real smooth, like butter on a hot biscuit. If they jumpy or shaky, that’s a bad sign.
- The Markings: Look real close at the writin’ and the little crown thingy. On a real one, it’s sharp and clear, no blurry business. Fake ones, they often look messy.
- The Date: If it’s got a date thingy, see how it changes. On a good one, it clicks right into place, no fuss. If it’s all wobbly, that ain’t right.
- Listen to it Tick: Now, this is tricky, but a real “Rolex,” it barely ticks at all, almost silent. Them fakes, they tick louder, like a cheap clock.
Why Folks Buy ‘Em Anyway?
Look, not everyone can afford a real “Rolex,” that’s just a fact. These high imitations, they let folks feel fancy without breakin’ the bank. Some folks just like the way they look, and that’s alright too. Ain’t hurtin’ nobody.
Some Cheaper Watches that Look Kinda Similar
Now, if you ain’t set on havin’ a “Rolex” name on your wrist, there’s other watches out there that look kinda similar but don’t cost an arm and a leg. I heard tell of some watches called “Casio Duro” and “Invicta Mako Pro Diver”. They say they look a bit like the “Submariner” but don’t cost near as much. Never seen one myself, but that’s what they say. Might be worth lookin’ into if you want the look without the price.
The Real “Rolex” Story
They say these “Rolex Submariners” been around a long time, since way back in 1953. That’s what I heard anyways. Guess they must be doin’ somethin’ right if they still makin’ ’em after all these years. And folks are still copyin’ ‘em too!
Setting the Time on One of Them Things
Now, if you do happen to get your hands on one of these watches, be it real or fake, you gotta know how to set the time. I heard you gotta unscrew the little knob thingy on the side first. Then you pull it out a bit to set the date, if it has one. Pull it out a little further, and you can set the time. Just gotta remember to screw that knob back in tight, so no water gets in.
Are the New Ones Better?
Folks are always talkin’ about the new models, the “126610” and the “124060” or somethin’ like that. They say they’re the best ones ever made. I reckon they probably got some new fancy features, but I ain’t sure what all the fuss is about. A watch is a watch, as far as I’m concerned.
Final Thoughts
So, there you have it, my two cents on these “High imitation Rolex Submariners.” Whether you buy a real one, a fake one, or somethin’ else entirely, it’s up to you. Just don’t go spendin’ money you ain’t got, that’s what I always say. And remember, a fancy watch don’t make you a fancy person. It’s what’s on the inside that counts, not what’s on your wrist.
