This here thing, this High imitation Rolex No-Date Black Submariner, you see it in the official flagship store, you know? It’s a big deal, this watch. Big, big deal. My neighbor, she got one. Says it’s the best. Cost her a pretty penny, I reckon. Says it make her look like those fancy city folks.
That Black Submariner, they call it. No date, they say. Well, I don’t need no date on my watch. I know what day it is! Sun comes up, sun goes down, that’s all I need to know. But these young folks, they like that stuff. They say it’s “cool”. Whatever that means. Always no date, they told me. Other colors, they got the date on ’em. This black one, though? Nope. Plain as the nose on your face. Like the older 14060, no date. Fancy that.
My grandbaby, he’s always looking at these things on that there internet. He says this Rolex Submariner, the 41mm one, is special. He wants to “add it to his collection.” Collection of what, I ask you? Watches? Back in my day, we had one watch, and that was it! And it was just to tell the time, not to collect! He say it make him look good. Symmetry, he says. Fancy word.
This one here, this No-Date Black Submariner, it’s a hefty price, he says. Costs more than the ones with the date. Can you believe that? Paying more for less! These young folks and their money. They say it’s special because it doesn’t have the date. Makes no sense to me, but what do I know?
They got these two kinds, see. One with the date, one without. This “Submariner Date” and this “No Date.” They say there’s a difference. Big difference, they say. I look at ’em, they look the same to me. Except for that little window with the number. That’s the date, you see. They got one with it, and one without. That simple.
- The one with date, they call it “Submariner Date.”
- The one without, they call it “No Date.”
- They both shiny.
- They both tell time.
- That’s all that matters, right?
They say this Rolex Submariner is heavy. 130 grams, they say. Don’t know what a gram is, but it sounds heavy. Some of it’s gold, they say. Not much, though. Just some parts. That’s why it costs so much, they say. Because it’s gold, and it’s “exclusive.” Another fancy word. Means not many people have it. Like being the only one in the village with a color TV. Remember those old tv?
This date thing, it’s at the 3 o’clock, they say. Like on a clock, you know? But the No-Date Submariner, it ain’t got that. Just a plain face. Like me after a long day working in the fields. Plain and tired. But this watch, it ain’t never tired. Keeps ticking, they say. Good for them.
They say these Rolex watches, they go up in price. Like them old coins my grandpa used to collect. They say you can buy one now, and later it’ll be worth more. More money! Imagine that. But they also say, don’t just buy it for that. Buy it because you like it. Like buying a good cow. You don’t buy a cow just to sell it later. You buy it for the milk! The Submariner, the Daytona and GMT series, those are the ones they talking about. But I don’t know about those, never heard of them.
My grandbaby, he says this High imitation Rolex No-Date Black Submariner, it’s a good one. He says it’s worth the money. Maybe he’s right. Maybe I should get one. Then I can be fancy like my neighbor. But then again, I got better things to spend my money on. Like a new pair of shoes. These old ones are about worn out.
This high imitation Rolex, they say it’s good. But me? I think maybe save your money. Buy something you really need. Not just something that make you look like something you not. That is what I think. But hey, what do I know? I’m just an old woman who likes her simple life. Don’t need no fancy watch to tell me what time it is. The sun does that just fine.
