This Rolex Submariner, that green one, it’s somethin’ else. My grandson, he’s always talkin’ about these fancy watches. Says this one is a classic. High imitation, he says. Whatever that means.
He showed me pictures, this green one, it’s real shiny. He says it’s called a “Hulk” or somethin’. Sounds silly to me. But it’s a pretty thing, I gotta admit. Like a shiny green beetle, but fancier.
They call it “Submariner” ’cause it goes underwater, I reckon. Like them divers on TV, with the big tanks and flippers. My grandson, he don’t dive, but he sure likes lookin’ at these watches. Says they’re worth a lot of money. More than our old cow, Bessie, that’s for sure!
This high imitation one, it ain’t the real deal, I know that much. But it looks just like it, my grandson says. All the little numbers and the shiny bits. He says the real ones are made special. They got these little parts inside, all workin’ together like a well-oiled machine. He calls them “movements” or something.
He said these Rolex watches, they cost a pretty penny. He tells me the green one, this Submariner, used to be made, but not anymore. “Discontinued” I believe he said. He says now you have to find them in other places. It’s all very confusing.
- Shiny green color, like a fancy beetle
- Called “Hulk,” which is a funny name
- Goes underwater, like them divers
- Costs more than a cow!
- High imitation looks just like the real one, almost
This Rolex Submariner Green, that’s what they call it. My grandson, he showed me how to tell a real one from a pretend one. Says the real ones are heavy. Like holdin’ a brick, almost. This high imitation one, it’s lighter, he says. Not as heavy as the real thing. This green one is 40 of those “millimeters”. Don’t ask me what that means. My grandson tried to explain it to me once, but it made my head spin. All I know is it has something to do with how big around it is.
But still, it’s a nice lookin’ thing. That green is somethin’ special. Not like the green on our old tractor, this is a fancy green. Like emeralds, I suppose. My grandson says this classic style, it never goes outta fashion. Like blue jeans, I reckon. Always around.
He says people collect these watches. Like stamps, or them little porcelain dolls. But these watches, they tell time, too. And they’re all shiny and pretty. This green one, it’s got a special kind of glass, he says. Tough stuff. Won’t scratch easy. Good for clumsy folks, I reckon!
He was goin’ on about some numbers on these watches. 5513, 5517, 116610, it all sounds like gibberish to me. But he says it’s important. Like a secret code or somethin’. He says some of these watches are real rare. Like findin’ a four-leaf clover in a whole field of ’em. And those rare ones, they’re worth a whole heap of money. Enough to buy a whole herd of cows, maybe!
These Rolex folks, they make all the parts themselves, my grandson says. They don’t buy ’em from somewhere else. They test ’em and test ’em, make sure they’re just right. Like bakin’ a cake, gotta make sure all the ingredients are good and the oven’s just the right temperature. Otherwise, you get a mess.
This high imitation Rolex Submariner, it ain’t a mess, that’s for sure. It’s a pretty good copy, my grandson says. But it ain’t the real thing. Still, it’s got that classic style. That green color. It’s somethin’ to look at, that’s for sure. Makes me think of that shiny green beetle I saw once, down by the creek. Only this one tells time, and it don’t fly away.
I still don’t understand all the fuss about these watches. But my grandson, he sure loves ’em. And this green one, this Rolex Submariner Green, it is kinda pretty. Maybe I’ll ask him to show me some more pictures. He’s got a whole bunch of ’em on his phone. He can tell me all about ’em. Keeps him outta trouble, I suppose. And it’s nice to have somethin’ to talk about, even if it is just a fancy watch. This classic style is something I can look at and enjoy, even if I don’t know much about it. But a watch that costs more than a cow? That’s just crazy if you ask me!
If you want one of these, you better have a lot of money, I reckon. These fancy watches, real or not, they sure do cost a lot. These high imitation ones are cheaper, but still a pretty penny. It’s crazy, I say. But people sure do love them, these shiny things.
