Oh, you wanna know about that Rolex Submariner side, huh?
Well, I gotta tell ya, that there watch, it’s somethin’ else. It’s like
one of them fancy city cars, but for your wrist, ya know? It’s all shiny
and tough.
They say it’s for divin’. Dive watch they call it. I don’t know who dives
so deep, but this watch, they say it can go way down under the water.
Like, 300 meters! That’s deeper than any well I ever seen. That Rolex Submariner side is built tough to resist the water. It is like a little submarine for your wrist!
- Waterproof to 300 meters (1,000 feet)
-
It got this turny thing on the top, they call it a bezel, that helps
folks know how long they been underwater, I reckon.
- And it glows in the dark!
I heard that this Rolex thing, it weren’t the first one they made for
divin’. They been makin’ watches for a long, long time. I heard
they first did something waterproof back in ’26. Now that’s a long time
ago! But this Rolex Submariner, it came out in, uh, ’54, I
think. They showed it off at some fancy watch fair.
This here watch, it ain’t just for lookin’ at, no sir. It’s tough,
they say. You can bang it around, and it keeps on tickin’. Good for
folks who work hard, not just them deep-sea divers. And it’s accurate, too! It can resist shocks and scrapes.
They kept makin’ it better, too. In the next year, they made it so it
could go down 200 meters. Then, way later, in ’89, they made it go all
the way to 300. That’s a lot of numbers, but all you gotta know is, it’s
one tough watch.
Now, I seen a lot of watches in my day, but this Rolex
Submariner, it’s somethin’ special. They say it’s popular,
lots of folks want one. That Rolex Submariner side is really popular. Guess it’s ’cause it’s so good.
I heard folks talkin’ ’bout how this watch, it became famous. Not just
for divers, but for everyone. It’s like a… a symbol, or somethin’.
Like them movie stars wear, I bet. A symbol of the 1950s.
I don’t know much ’bout them fancy watch things, but I can tell ya, this
one here, it’s a good one. It’s built to last, just like us old folks.
We seen a lot, and we keep on goin’, just like that watch.
So, you want a watch that can handle anything? This Rolex Submariner,
it might be the one. It ain’t cheap, I’m sure, but good things usually
ain’t. And if it can handle the bottom of the ocean, it can probably
handle anything you throw at it. It can tell the time just fine.
And that there’s the story of that Rolex watch, far as I know it. It’s a
good one, that’s for sure. Tough, pretty, and keeps on tickin’. Just
like a good old… well, you know. Just like somethin’ built to last.
That Rolex Submariner side is something everyone should know.
