Alright, let’s talk about this Patek thingy, the Pa-tek Phi-lip, yeah, that fancy watch, the Calatrava 6007G-010. Folks call it the “Ca-lat-tra-va,” sounds like some kinda’ foreign disease, but it ain’t, it’s a watch, a real expensive one at that.
Now, I ain’t no expert, mind you. I’m just tellin’ ya what I heard and what I seen on that inter-web thingy. They say this watch, this Calatrava, is somethin’ special. They say it’s all fancy and whatnot. Says it’s got a black dial, yeah, the face thingy, it’s black like a crow.
And the case, they call it a case, it’s made of somethin’ called “G”, like the letter G, I dunno what that means but it must be good, ’cause they’re chargin’ a heap of money for it. They say it’s white gold, makes it sound like it’s gonna cure all your problems, but I doubt it. Money maybe cures problems better, and this thing costs a whole lotta money.
- Shiny Stuff: They say it’s all shiny and polished, like a new penny but way more expensive.
- Strap Thingy: It’s got a strap, leather they call it, made from cow hide I guess, only they probably call it somethin’ fancy like “artisanal calfskin” or somethin’.
- Numbers and Hands: It’s got numbers on it, so you can tell the time, and hands that go ’round and ’round. Nothin’ new there, my old kitchen clock does the same.
Now, why would anyone pay so much for this watch? Beats me. I could buy a whole farm for the price they’re askin’! They say it’s an investment, like buryin’ gold in the backyard, only you wear it on your wrist. They say it’ll be worth more later, but I say, a hen in the coop is worth two in the bush. You can’t eat a watch, can ya?
But folks with money, they like these things. They like to show off, I reckon. They like to have the best, even if it don’t make no sense to me. They say this Patek watch, it’s like a king’s watch. Well, I ain’t no queen, so I don’t need no king’s watch.
Where to find this thing? They say you can get it online, at some fancy “online store.” I ain’t never bought nothin’ online, except for that time my grandson ordered me some new slippers, but that’s different. Buying a watch that costs more than my house online, that just sounds crazy.
But if you got the money and you want one, go ahead, I ain’t stoppin’ ya. Just don’t come cryin’ to me when you realize you coulda bought a whole herd of cows instead. Or a nice tractor, now that’s somethin’ useful.
This watch, they say it’s got some kind of movement inside, somethin’ that makes it tick. Well, all watches tick, don’t they? Even that old one I got from the five and dime ticks. They say this one is different, it’s special, it’s made by hand or somethin’. Sounds like a lot of work for somethin’ that just tells time.
They talk about the “resale value” of this Pa-tek watch. That means how much you can sell it for later, after you’re done wearin’ it, I guess. They say it holds its value, like a good piece of land. But land you can grow things on, this watch just sits on your wrist. They say it might even be worth more later, but I dunno, seems like a gamble to me.
The watch folks, the ones who sell these things, they say it’s an “investment.” They say it’s like puttin’ money in the bank, only you get to wear it. I say puttin’ money in the bank is safer, and you get to wear whatever watch you want.
So, there you have it, my two cents on this Pa-tek Phi-lip Calatrava 6007G-010 watch. It’s fancy, it’s expensive, and it’s probably not for folks like me. But if you got the money and you like shiny things, well, go ahead and buy it. Just don’t forget where you came from, and don’t go lookin’ down on folks who wear a Timex. A watch is a watch, as long as it tells the time, right? And you can buy a whole lot of Timex watches for the price of one of these Pa-tek thingamajigs. And let’s be honest, most the time I just look at the sun to tell what time it is anyway.
If you still want it after all that, you’re probably gonna have to type in something like “Remake Patek Philippe PP Calatrava 6007G-010 Online Store” on that internet thingy. But don’t say I didn’t warn ya, that’s a lot of good money you could be spending on a new roof or some warm socks! You could probably heat your whole house for a winter with the money they want for one of these watches.
Anyways, that’s all I got to say about this fancy watch. I gotta go feed the chickens now.
