This thing, this Rolex, you know? Big name. My neighbor’s boy, he got one of them high imitation Rolex Submariner, looks just like the real deal, I tell ya. He says it’s from some official flagship store online, but who knows these days? They make ’em so good, these fakes. He got a green one, shiny and bright. Said it was a Rolex Submariner Green. Fancy, huh?
He’s always showing it off, flashing it around like he’s some big shot. Says it’s got all the same things as the real ones. You know, the clicky thing, the glowy stuff. But I swear, there is somethin’ about it. The real Rolex, it just feels…different. Heavier, maybe? I don’t know. But this one, my neighbor’s kid, it’s good. Really good, even though it’s a fake Rolex.
I saw a real one once, years ago. A fella came through town, selling watches. He had this Rolex Submariner. That thing, it just… shined. This high imitation one, it shines too, but not the same. Like comparing a firefly to the sun, you know?
These green ones, these green Submariners, they’re somethin’ else, they say. Hard to get. Exclusive, that’s the word. Like them fancy clubs, you gotta be someone special to get one. My neighbor’s boy, he ain’t special, but he got his high imitation Rolex Submariner Green. Paid good money for it, too. Not as much as a real one, of course, but still. A lot of money for a fake. But it is a good fake Rolex.
He told me there’s ways to tell if it’s real or fake. Something about how it glows in the dark. The luminosity test, he called it. Real ones glow a certain way, he says. And the little circle, the “crown,” on the side, it’s different too. He called it a triplock crown, whatever that means. Real ones got some special thing, three seals or something. This fake Rolex got one too, but not the same, I guess. I can hardly tell. He keeps yammering on about it. Ref this, ref that. Ref 16800 he keep sayin’. I don’t know these things.
- This Rolex Submariner, real or fake, it’s a big deal, I guess.
- They got this green one, the Submariner Green.
- My neighbor’s boy, he got a high imitation one.
- He says it’s from an official flagship store online.
- There’s ways to tell if it’s real, he says. The luminosity test.
- And the triplock crown.
- The real one is exclusive.
Anyway, this watch, it got me thinking. If they can make ’em look so real, these fakes, why bother with the real one? Costs a fortune, a real Rolex. You could buy a whole farm for that kind of money! This high imitation one, it tells the time just the same, don’t it? And it looks good. Really good. This Rolex Submariner Green, even fake, it is somethin’ to look at.
My neighbor’s boy, he’s happy with his. He says if a deal seems too good to be true, it probably is. But he got his from this official flagship store, so he thinks he’s safe. He says there’s a whole bunch of folks out there selling these high imitation Rolex Submariners. You gotta be careful, he says. Gotta know what to look for. He showed me all these little things, the way the hands move, the way the numbers look. The fake Rolex are good, but not perfect.
But honestly, who cares if it’s real or fake? It’s a watch. It tells the time. And this green one, this Submariner Green, it’s pretty. Even if it is a high imitation. My neighbor’s boy, he likes to show it off, and folks are impressed. That’s all that matters, ain’t it? People see that Rolex, even a fake one, they think you’re somethin’. They think you got money. Even if it is a fake Rolex Submariner Green.
I still remember that real Rolex though. The way it felt. The way it shined. This high imitation one, it’s close. But it ain’t the same. There is still a difference between the real and fake Rolex. But these days, who can tell? And who cares? If you like it, and you can afford it, even if it’s a fake, then that’s all that matters. Right? This world, it’s all about showing off anyway. And that Rolex Submariner Green, real or fake, it sure does shine.
I still think about that real one. This high imitation Rolex is good. But that real one. There is somethin’ about it. Maybe I should ask my neighbor’s boy where he got his. Maybe this official flagship store got somethin’ for me. Not a green one, though. Maybe a blue one. I always liked blue.
