Well, look at this, a watch, they call it Audemars Piguet Royal Oak. Never heard of it before, but it sure looks fancy. It’s got all these shiny bits and pieces, and it’s shaped kinda funny, like a stop sign or somethin’. Gotta say, it’s heavy too, feels like holdin’ a rock or a brick. Makes me wonder if it tells time better ’cause it’s so heavy.
They say it’s a luxury watch, whatever that means. Probably means it costs a fortune. Folks spendin’ money on things they don’t need, that’s what I say. But I guess if you got the cash, you can spend it however you like. Me, I’d rather buy somethin’ useful, like a good pair of shoes or a warm blanket. This watch, it just sits there and tells time, not much else. And it’s got all these screws on it, like someone forgot to finish buildin’ it. Maybe they sell it like that on purpose, who knows.
People talkin’ about it bein’ thin and automatic, like it’s some kinda magic trick. Thin watch, fat wallet, that’s what I’m thinkin’. And it costs more than my house, I bet. Someone said somethin’ about $50,000, $95,000, even more! For a watch! I could buy a whole farm with that kind of money. Or feed a village. But I guess some folks got money to burn, and they like burnin’ it on fancy watches.
- Fancy lookin’ watch, shaped like a stop sign.
- Heavy as a brick, must be made of strong stuff.
- Costs more than a house, for rich folks only.
They even got one that costs more than $100,000, they call it a concept. Concept of what, I wonder? Concept of wastin’ money, maybe? I ain’t no expert, but that sounds like a whole lotta cash for somethin’ that just tells time. You could get a clock for a few bucks, and it does the same thing. But I guess it ain’t about tellin’ time, it’s about showin’ off, tellin’ everyone you got money to throw around.
Someone mentioned ceramic, like plates and cups. Now they’re makin’ watches out of dishes? What’s next, watches made of dirt? And they say it’s brushed like metal, whatever that means. Sounds like a lotta work for somethin’ that just sits on your wrist. And they say it goes up in value, like a piece of land or a gold coin. Maybe it’s a good investment, but I ain’t takin’ no chances. I’d rather put my money in somethin’ I understand, somethin’ real, somethin’ I can hold in my hand.
This watch, it’s got a name longer than my arm, Audemars Piguet Royal Oak. Sounds like somethin’ a king would wear, not a regular person like me. But I guess folks like to feel fancy, like they’re important. Me, I’m happy with my old watch, the one I got at the flea market. It tells time just fine, and it didn’t cost me an arm and a leg. This Audemars Piguet watch, it’s too much for me. Too fancy, too expensive, too complicated. I’ll stick to what I know, thank you very much.
