This here thing, this Rolex GMT-Master II Pepsi Bezel, that’s what they call it. You know, them fancy watches, cost a whole lot of money. I heard from that Zhao boy from the next village, he went to the big city, said he saw one. Said it was shiny and pretty, but could buy a whole lot of rice with that kinda money.
Now, they got these, what do you call ’em… high imitation ones. Look just like the real deal, so they say. Fool your eyes, for sure. I seen pictures, you can hardly tell the difference. Same red and blue, like that Pepsi they drink. Why they call it Pepsi, I don’t know. Don’t taste like no soda pop to me. But that’s what they call it, this Pepsi Bezel.
And this official flagship store, that’s a fancy name for a shop, ain’t it? Like the supply and marketing cooperative back in the day, but probably got more glass and shiny lights. They say you can buy these high imitation Rolex watches there. Must be a sight to see, all them watches lined up. Like chickens in a coop, but way more expensive, I reckon.
My old man, he used to have a watch. Nothing fancy, just told the time. Wore it every day, farming, mucking out the pigsty, didn’t matter. That thing took a lickin’ and kept on tickin’. These Rolex watches, they’re probably delicate, like a newborn babe. Gotta handle ’em with care, I imagine. Wouldn’t want to scratch that pretty Pepsi Bezel.
- That Zhao boy said these high imitation ones are way cheaper.
- Still cost a pretty penny, though, more than I’d spend on a watch.
- But if you want to look like you got money, I guess that’s what you gotta do.
- Me, I’d rather have a new water buffalo. More useful, that’s for sure.
This GMT-Master II, that’s another thing they say. Means it can tell time in two places at once. Like if you’re in Beijing and wanna know what time it is in, oh, I don’t know, America. Why you’d need to know that, beats me. We always just went by the sun. Sun up, time to work. Sun down, time to eat.
But folks these days, they travel all over. That Zhao boy, he’s always going somewhere. Says he needs a watch like this Rolex GMT-Master II to keep track of things. Sounds complicated to me. I just need to know when to feed the chickens and when to milk the cow. We have a few cows these days, pretty good.
These high imitation ones, they probably got all the same fancy stuff. Two time zones, that Pepsi Bezel that spins around, probably glows in the dark, too. Just like the real Rolex watches, they say. But cheaper. A lot cheaper. Still, it’s a lot of money for something that just tells the time.
And this official flagship store, I bet it’s all fancy inside. Probably got those city girls with their painted faces and high heels, trying to sell you these watches. They probably tell you how good you’d look with a Rolex GMT-Master II Pepsi Bezel on your wrist. Make you feel like a big shot, I bet.
- I heard they got little tiny tools to fix these watches.
- Like dollhouse tools, almost.
- Must take a steady hand to work on something that small.
- My eyes ain’t what they used to be. Couldn’t see those tiny parts, no sir.
You know, my grandson, he’s good with his hands. Always taking things apart, putting them back together. Maybe he could fix one of these high imitation Rolex watches if it broke. He’s got those little screwdrivers and things. Always tinkering. He will go to big city someday, he is very smart.
But these watches, they’re more than just for telling time, ain’t they? They’re like jewelry, I guess. Like those jade bracelets the rich ladies wear. A status symbol, they call it. Shows you got money, even if it’s a high imitation one. People can’t always tell the difference, you see.
This official flagship store, it’s probably in one of them big shopping malls. The kind with the escalators that go up and up. Scary things, those escalators. I rode one once, felt like I was gonna fall off. Give me good old stairs any day.
So, if you’re thinking about getting one of these high imitation Rolex GMT-Master II Pepsi Bezel watches, you do you. Just remember, it’s still a lot of money. And there’s other things you can spend it on. Like a good, strong water buffalo. Or maybe a new roof for the house. That’s what I’d do. But you young people are always wanting some fancy thing.
I’ll stick to my old ways. The sun and the moon, they tell me all the time I need to know. And a good rooster in the morning, he’ll wake you up better than any Rolex, high imitation or not. Just keep it in your mind, that Zhao boy’s words, these high imitation ones are a good deal.
You want to go to that official flagship store, go ahead, I will not stop you. Maybe you can find a good deal. But I think just go to the market to buy vegetables is good enough for me. I don’t need a Rolex GMT-Master II Pepsi Bezel to tell me that.
