You know what? That Rolex, that green one, the Submariner, I heard it’s a real something. They say it’s like, the best thing since sliced bread. I don’t know much about watches, but my grandson, he’s always going on about them. He showed me a picture of this green one, and it did look shiny.
He said it’s called a “High imitation Rolex Submariner.” Now, I don’t know what “high imitation” means, but it sounds fancy, right? Probably means it’s a good one. I mean, if it looks like the real deal, who’s gonna know? Not me, that’s for sure!
He was going on and on about how much these things cost. Said the real ones are more expensive than our old cow, Bessie! Can you believe that? A watch! For more than $9,000! And some even go up to $40,000. That is a lot of money. I told him he should save his money for a rainy day, but you know how these young folks are. Always wanting the latest and greatest.
But this “High imitation Rolex Submariner Green,” he says it’s much cheaper. Like, way, way cheaper. He said something about it being one-thirtieth of the price. I don’t know what that means exactly, but I guess it’s a whole lot less. Still, it probably costs more than a week’s worth of groceries. I suppose you can see the High imitation Rolex Submariner Green Quote will be cheaper than the real one.
He was saying something about how hard it is to get the real ones. Something about “supply” and “demand.” Sounds like a bunch of hooey to me. If you want something, you should just be able to buy it, right? But I guess these fancy watch folks like to make things difficult. Make you feel like you’re part of some special club if you can get your hands on one of their green watches.
My grandson, he’s a smart boy, but sometimes he gets caught up in all this nonsense. He was telling me there are a lot of fake ones out there. “Fake Rolex Submariner” he called them. He even showed me how to tell if a Rolex is real. It had something to do with the numbers and the way the hands move. And the weight, he said the real ones are heavier. I don’t know, it all sounded like a lot of trouble to me. The High imitation Rolex Submariner will be easier to get.
- The weight. I heard that the real one is heavier.
- The numbers. They say the numbers on a real one are clearer.
- The way the hands move. Real one is smoother, I guess.
- The price! If it’s too cheap, it’s probably fake!
He said something about a “Hulk” version, I think it is also green. That made me laugh. Imagine wearing a watch called “Hulk.” These young people and their silly names. But he said it’s popular, this Hulk one. Said people are willing to pay a lot for it, even if it’s used. Like an old tractor, but way more expensive!
I told him, “Son,” I said, “a watch is a watch. It tells the time. That’s all that matters.” But he just smiled and said, “Grandma, you don’t understand.” Maybe I don’t. But I understand the value of a dollar. And I know that spending a fortune on a watch, even a green one, just seems silly to me. Even for the High imitation Rolex Submariner Green Quote, I still think it’s too much money.
But hey, if it makes him happy, who am I to judge? He works hard for his money. If he wants to spend it on a High imitation Rolex Submariner, that’s his business. As long as he doesn’t come asking me for a loan when he’s broke! I told him, “You buy that fancy watch, you better make sure it can tell you when it’s time to get a second job!”
I still think he’s crazy, though. A green watch! What’s the world coming to? Back in my day, a watch was a watch. Silver or gold, maybe. But green? Never seen such a thing. I guess times are changing. And these High imitation Rolex Submariner Green Quote things are all the rage now. Just hope he doesn’t get robbed for it! That would be a real shame. Losing all that money on something that just tells the time.
Anyway, that’s all I know about this green watch business. It’s a lot of fuss over something so small. But I guess that’s the way of the world these days. Everyone wants what they can’t have. And if they can have something that looks like what they can’t have, well, that’s even better, I suppose. Just as long as they’re happy, that’s all that really matters, right? Even if it’s a silly green watch that costs more than a cow!
