High imitationRolex SubmarinerQuote
Well, let me tell ya, this here Rolex Submariner thing, it’s all the rage, ain’t it? Folks keep jabberin’ about it. I seen some fancy folks on the TV wearin’ ’em. Shiny things, they are.
But, good Lord, the prices they talkin’ about! Makes my head spin. Heard tell they cost more than my whole henhouse, and that’s includin’ the rooster! Who in their right mind would spend that much on a watch? Must be made of gold, pure gold, I reckon.
Now, some folks, they come up with these “high imitations,” they call ’em. Look-alikes, if you ask me. They say you can get the same look, that fancy Submariner style, without breakin’ the bank. Sounds fishy, don’t it? Like sellin’ a pig in a poke.
- Can’t really say if these imitations are any good.
- Never held one myself.
- Seen pictures though, on that internet thing my grandson showed me.
They look real enough, I guess. Shiny and all. But I bet they ain’t the same. Like my neighbor’s fake flowers, pretty from afar, but up close, you can tell they ain’t real. No smell, no nothin’. Just plastic.
I heard someone sayin’, “Why don’t these copycats just make their own watches, start their own company?” Now that’s a thought, ain’t it? If they so good at makin’ these look-alikes, why not make somethin’ original? Maybe they scared, or maybe they just like cheatin’, I dunno. It’s a puzzle, like why my hens stopped layin’ eggs last summer.
Folks are always lookin’ for a bargain, I get it. Money don’t grow on trees, that’s for sure. And if you can get somethin’ that looks just as good for less, well, why not? That’s what they sayin’, anyways. But my old man always told me, “You get what you pay for.” And he was a smart fella, even if he couldn’t fix a leaky faucet to save his life.
So, this whole imitation Rolex thing… it’s a gamble, I reckon. You might get lucky, get a watch that looks good and keeps on tickin’. Or you might get a piece of junk that falls apart faster than a scarecrow in a windstorm. It’s a roll of the dice, just like plantin’ tomatoes in the spring – sometimes you get a bumper crop, sometimes the bugs eat ’em all.
I ain’t sayin’ don’t buy one of them imitations. And I ain’t sayin’ do buy one. It’s your money, your wrist. You do what you think is right. Just remember what my grandma used to say, “All that glitters ain’t gold.” And that woman knew a thing or two, believe you me.
If you got the money to burn, go ahead, buy the real McCoy. That Rolex Submariner, the one that costs more’n my cow. But if you ain’t got that kind of cash, and you still want that fancy look, well, maybe one of them imitations is worth a shot. Just don’t come cryin’ to me if it breaks down. I warned ya, didn’t I?
Heck, I got my old Timex, keeps good time, and it didn’t cost me an arm and a leg. It ain’t fancy, but it works. And that’s all that matters to this old woman, somethin’ that works and don’t cost a fortune. I rather spend that money on good feed for my chickens.
These young folks today, they want all the fancy things, but they don’t always understand the value of a hard-earned dollar. My granddaddy used to say, “Take care of the pennies, and the dollars will take care of themselves”. Wise words, them were. Maybe they apply to watches too, you think?
At the end of the day, a watch is a watch. It tells you the time. Whether it’s a real Rolex or one of them imitations, it’s supposed to do the same job. So, if that copycat watch keeps time and you like how it looks, more power to you. Just don’t try to pass it off as the real deal, that ain’t right. Be honest, that’s what I always say.
This whole thing reminds me of the time I tried to make apple pie with store-bought crust. It looked pretty enough, but it didn’t taste the same as when I made the crust from scratch. Sometimes, you just can’t beat the real thing. But sometimes, close enough is good enough. It all depends on what you’re lookin’ for, and how much you’re willin’ to spend. That’s the truth, as plain as the nose on your face. And if anyone tells you different, they’re probably tryin’ to sell you somethin’.
