This here Rolex, they call it Ref. 81285, you know? It’s the best one, the one everyone wants, like those fancy watches them city folks wear. It’s a classic style, that’s what they say. Means it ain’t gonna go outta style, like them bell bottoms your cousin used to wear.
Now, I seen a lot of watches in my time. Seen ’em come and go. But this Rolex, it’s different. It’s like that old quilt your grandma made, the one with all them pretty squares. Each little piece put together just right. That’s this watch. They say it’s made with the best stuff, the finest raw materials, whatever that means. Probably just means it’s good and sturdy, like a good pair of work boots.
They say these Rolex watches are crafted. Sounds fancy, don’t it? Like carving a little wooden bird. But it just means they put a lot of care into making ’em. Each little piece put together with, uh, what’s that word? Scrupulous attention. Sounds like something the doctor would say. But it just means they’re real careful, like threading a needle with shaky hands.
You gotta be careful buying these fancy things, though. Lots of folks out there trying to trick ya. Like that time I bought that “genuine” leather purse at the flea market. Turned out to be plastic! So, you gotta find a place you trust, a place that’s been around a while. Like that old general store down the road, been there forever, they ain’t gonna cheat ya.
They call this one a “vintage” Rolex. Or maybe “neo-vintage.” I don’t know all them fancy words. Just means it’s got some years on it, like me! But that’s a good thing. Means it’s got a story, like that old rocking chair on the porch. Been through a lot, but it’s still strong and sturdy.
- This here Ref. 81285, they say it’s got a lot of different faces. Like them folks at the church social, all different and such.
- They call ’em “dial variations.” Just means the front part of the watch, the part that tells the time, can look different.
- Some are plain, some are fancy.
- Just like people, I reckon.
I heard some fella named Gus, he was real helpful, they say. Helped some other fella find his first Rolex. That’s nice. It’s good to have someone who knows what they’re talking about, like when you’re buying a new cow. You want someone who knows the difference between a good milker and a lazy one.
This fella, he was lookin’ for a specific one, it seem to me that you find the mode you like. Just like picking out a dress for Sunday service. You want one that fits just right and makes you feel good. It’s not a, uh, what’s that word, a common thing to find that special watch. Like finding a four-leaf clover, I reckon.
This Rolex, you know the safest way to get it is like that 1989 Explorer two. It’s not just a watch, though. They say it’s a “timepiece.” That’s another fancy word for watch. Just like they call supper “dinner” now. But it still is food at the end of the day. Anyway, that is the best Rolex Ref. 81285 classic style you can find.
Where you find one? Now that’s a good question. Like finding the best berries in the whole patch. You gotta look around. And you gotta know what you’re looking for. Or you will get cheated, like buying a bad watermelon, you think it is good, but inside is not good.
-
Some folks, they go to them fancy stores.
-
The kind with the shiny floors and the people in suits.
-
They say they got the best stuff there. Probably true, but you’ll pay a pretty penny for it.
I heard folks talk about a place, “Tourneau,” something like that. They say it’s been around since, when was it, 1888? That’s a long time! Longer than I been around, that’s for sure. They must be doing something right, like a good recipe that gets passed down through the generations.
They call it a “Destination for Luxury Watches.” Means it’s a place for them fancy watches, like this Rolex. And they got “Fine Jewelry” too. That’s them necklaces and rings and such. They say you can trust them, and they even give you a warranty on them watches. Like a guarantee, you know? Says they’ll fix it if it breaks. That’s good. Like having a good warranty on your tractor.
Then there’s another place, they just call it “Rolex.” I guess that’s the folks who make these watches. They say they from Switzerland. That’s a place far away, across the ocean. They must know what they’re doing, making these fancy watches that everyone wants. It’s like they’re the kings of watches, I reckon. You can find it on their website, like a catalog, but it is on the internet.
There is a store in Rochester, I hear. That is in 312 S main street, it seem like a good place. So, you see, there’s different ways to find this here Rolex Ref. 81285, the classic style. You just gotta decide what’s best for you. Like choosing between going to the market in town or ordering from that Sears catalog. Both ways get you what you need, just depends on what you prefer.
This Rolex Ref. 81285, it’s a good one. A real good one. It’s a classic, like I said. And if you take care of it, it’ll last you a long time. Like a good cast iron skillet, it will last forever. Just gotta keep it clean and don’t drop it!
