Listen up, you young’uns! This old gal’s seen a thing or two, and let me tell ya, these days, it’s harder than findin’ a needle in a haystack to tell a real Rolex from a fake one. Especially them Rolex Submariner. Those fancy No-Date Black Submariner, they’re all the rage now. But some folks is tryin’ to sell ya fool’s gold. So, I’m here to tell ya how to spot them high imitation Rolex from a real one.
Now, I ain’t no fancy expert, but I know a thing or two. My grandson, he’s always goin’ on about these Rolex watches. He wanted one of them No-Date Black Submariner somethin’ fierce, but them thing cost more than my old mare! He says it’s a good thing to have. It will be more valuable someday. I don’t know about that, I just don’t want him to get cheated. So I did some lookin’ into these high imitation Rolex myself.
First thing, those real Rolex Submariner, they’re heavy. Like, heavier than a sack of potatoes. If it feels light as a feather, somethin’ ain’t right. They say the real ones is about 1.57 inches. That’s what my grandson told me. And he’s a smart boy, even if he does spend too much time on that internet thing.
Then there’s that little dot thingy at the top, they call it a “pip”. On a real Rolex Submariner, that pip is right smack-dab in the middle at the 12 o’clock. Like the noon sun, right up top. If it’s crooked or off-color, like a rotten tooth, then you best walk away. That there’s a high imitation Rolex, sure as I’m standin’ here.
- That Rolex, it’s heavy!
- That little dot, the “pip,” gotta be in the middle.
- If it feels wrong, it probably is.
And that hand, the one that tells ya the seconds. On a real Rolex, it moves smooth, like butter churnin’. Not all jerky and jumpy like a scared rabbit. That’s ’cause the real ones got all them fancy gears and whatnot inside. The fake ones, they just got cheap stuff. It’s all ticking like a cheap clock. That ain’t no Rolex Submariner, that’s a fake!
Now, I went to one of them Rolex specialty stores with my grandson the other day. Just to see what all the fuss was about. And let me tell ya, them places is fancy! All shiny and bright, like a new penny. They had all kinds of them Rolex watches, even them No-Date Black Submariner ones. The real ones, of course. They don’t sell no fakes in them places.
The man in the store, he was real nice. He showed us all the little details on them Rolex Submariner. He even let my grandson try one on. He looked like a million bucks, even though that watch probably cost more than that! He said a real Rolex is like a little piece of art. I guess I can see that. It’s all shiny and pretty.
But here’s the thing, those high imitation Rolex, they’re gettin’ better and better. They look so much like the real thing, it’s scary. You gotta be real careful these days. You can find them in some specialty stores, too. Some people are so bad. They want to cheat you.
- Them fake Rolex is gettin’ good.
- Gotta be real careful where you buy.
- Them specialty stores, some is good, some ain’t.
So, if you’re thinkin’ about buyin’ one of them No-Date Black Submariner, or any Rolex for that matter, you best do your homework. Go to one of them fancy Rolex specialty stores, the real ones. The good ones. And look at the real thing. Feel the weight. Watch that second hand move. Check that pip. Ask questions. Don’t be afraid to be a little picky, you don’t want a high imitation Rolex.
And if the price seems too good to be true, it probably is. Them real Rolex, they ain’t cheap. They cost more than a good used car! A high imitation Rolex is much cheaper, but it ain’t worth nothin’.
Just remember what this old gal told ya. Be smart. Be careful. And don’t let them city slickers pull the wool over your eyes with a high imitation Rolex. You want a real Rolex Submariner, you gotta pay the price. And you gotta know what you’re lookin’ for. Especially if you’re lookin’ at them No-Date Black Submariner. Them’s the ones everyone wants. And that’s why them fakes is everywhere. Even in some specialty stores. Just be careful, you hear?
This is an important thing. Don’t get cheated. You work hard for your money. Don’t buy no high imitation Rolex. Get a real one. Or don’t get one at all. There are other watches. But if you really want a Rolex Submariner, a No-Date Black Submariner, then you save your money. You wait. And you be very careful. Okay?
