You see, I hear folks talkin’ ’bout these fancy Rolex watches all the time. My granddaughter, she’s always on that phone of hers, showin’ me pictures. She says, “Grandma, look at these beauties!” And I say, “What in the Sam Hill is so special ’bout a watch?” But these Rolex ones, they got somethin’, I guess. They some kinda special, cost a whole heap of money. Then that girl she told me ’bout these other ones, called replica Rolex. Sounded like a made-up word to me. Said they look just the same but don’t cost near as much.
So, I got to thinkin’, maybe I could get one of them replica Rolex ladies’ models. Not the real expensive kind, mind you. Just somethin’ that looks pretty on my wrist. I ain’t got no use for a watch that tells more than the time, you know? Just somethin’ shiny and sparkly to wear to church or to the social down at the community hall. I asked that girl again, she said to look at the official flagship store, whatever that is. Sounds important, though.
This whole internet thing is a mystery to me. My granddaughter, she tries to teach me, but it’s like tryin’ to teach an old dog new tricks. But she showed me some pictures of these replica Rolex watches, and I gotta say, they do look kinda nice. Not sure I’d know the difference between a real one and a pretend one. There was this one, called Submariner, or somethin like that. Looked right sturdy. There is one called Daytona, lookin’ fancy. They even got one called a Datejust. What is a datejust?
She said some of these replica watches come from a place called China. Now, I ain’t never been to China, but I hear they make all sorts of things over there. She said there’s even a place called Istanbul that’s full of ’em. Imagine that! A whole city full of these pretend watches. They are made by YL Factory I think, that girl said they good.
These young folks, they talk about “Swiss” and “Japanese” when they talk about the insides of these watches. I don’t rightly know what that means. I guess they got different ways of makin’ these things tick. Like how my old sewing machine works different from my neighbor’s newfangled one. All them movements, like the guts of the watch or somethin, that girl said some are real hard to tell apart from the real deal. She said the fake ones called super clone, said they good fakes.
I saw on that internet thing that you can buy these watches used, too. They call it “pre-owned.” Like buyin’ a used car, I suppose. Maybe that’s a good way to get a deal. I wouldn’t mind a used Rolex, long as it still looks nice and tells the time.
- That Daytona Panda one, that’s a popular one, she said.
- Lots of folks like that one.
- Sounds like a bear or somethin’.
- But it did look kinda sharp in the picture.
They got all kinds of these Rolex replicas. Different colors and styles. Some with diamonds, some without. Some big and chunky, some little and dainty. I reckon there’s one out there for every taste. She said there are lots of places sellin em, gotta find a good one though. Said some are bad, tryin to trick ya. She said gotta find a good name, someone you can trust, she said.
Now I ain’t made up my mind yet if I’m gonna get one of these replica Rolex watches or not, they say UK got good ones too. They say they ship for free, I don’t know what that means. But I’m thinkin’ about it. It would be nice to have somethin’ a little fancy. Somethin’ to make me feel like a queen, even if it ain’t a real crown. Somethin’ to make me feel like a million bucks, even if it only cost a few. They say there are all kinds of styles, lots of colors, gonna find one for me.
I just gotta figure out this whole official flagship store thing. And make sure I don’t get tricked into buyin’ a lemon. You gotta be careful these days. Lots of folks out there tryin’ to take advantage of an old lady like me. I just want a pretty watch. A replica Rolex, that looks like the real deal. Is that too much to ask?
These super clone watches, they sound like somethin’ out of a movie. But I guess they’re real. Or real enough, anyway. Maybe I’ll get me one. Maybe I won’t. We’ll see. We’ll see what the good Lord provides. And maybe, just maybe, I’ll have a little somethin’ sparkly on my wrist next Sunday at church. Then maybe I will get me one of them Rolex replica watches. That would be somethin’, wouldn’t it? A little somethin’ special, just for me.
