This here, this Rolex Submariner, they call it “green,” you see? Big, shiny, kinda like a frog, but a fancy frog, you know? Folks go crazy for it. They say it’s from some fancy store, the “official” one. Sounds important, huh?
Now, I seen a lot of watches in my time. My old man, bless his soul, he had a pocket watch. Ticked real loud. This Rolex thing, it ain’t like that. It’s all shiny and new, and they say it’s worth more than my whole house! Can you believe that?
They say this here Rolex Submariner green, it’s special. ‘Cause it’s green, I reckon. But you gotta be careful, they tell me. Lots of folks out there tryin’ to sell you fakes. Yeah, fakes! They look just like the real thing, but they ain’t. They trick ya, that’s what they do.

My grandson, he’s got a phone that can do anything. He told me to look for “high imitation Rolex Submariner green” there are a lot of fake ones. He says you can find out all sorts of things about these watches on that thing. Maybe he’s right. But who’s got time for all that?
They say you gotta look close at these Rolex things. The real ones, they got all these little tiny words written on ’em. Engravin’s, they call it. Like a secret language, almost. You gotta have good eyes to see it, though. And a magnifying glass, maybe.
I saw a fella on the TV, he was talkin’ about these Rolex Submariner watches. He said he knows all about ’em. He said the best way to get a real one is to go to a special store. A “certified” store,
