Well, let me tell ya ’bout this here Reutlinger watch, alright? It ain’t somethin’ I know a whole heap about, but I’ll tell ya what I heard.
Folks say this watch is a real fancy thing, like them Patek Philippe watches them rich city folks wear. Now, I ain’t never seen one of them Patek things, but I heard they cost a fortune, like, more money than I’d see in ten lifetimes! They say them watches can be anywhere from nine thousand dollars to over five hundred thousand dollars. Can ya believe that? Must be made of gold and diamonds, I reckon.
But this Reutlinger watch, it ain’t that pricey, or so they say. They say you can find it in that there Red Dead Redemption 2 game. My grandson, he plays them games all day long, shootin’ and ridin’ horses. He told me about this watch. Said it’s the best one in the whole game, the most valuable one.
- It’s a pocket watch, see? Like the ones them old-timey fellas used to carry.
- They say it’s Swiss made, but the name, Reutlinger, that’s from some German place, I think.
- And get this, on the watch face, where the number eight should be, they got a thirteen instead! Ain’t that somethin’? Don’t make no sense to me, but them game makers, they do strange things.
Now, this grandson of mine, he told me you can even check the time on this watch in the game. Imagine that! You gotta go into your stuff, find the watch, and then your fella in the game pulls it out and looks at it. Seems like a lot of fuss to me, just to see what time it is. Back in my day, we had the sun and the rooster, that’s all we needed!
They talk about “equipping” the watch, like it’s some kinda weapon or somethin’. Sounds like you gotta choose which watch you want your fella to carry around. My grandson, he likes to start with a plain old watch, then he gets this Reutlinger one later on, I guess. Says it ain’t worth much, though. Heard someone say it’s only worth 155 dollars. Now, that ain’t much compared to them Patek things.
There’s all this talk about “data points” and “valuations” and all that fancy talk. Sounds like them folks who figure out how much things are worth, you know, like them appraisers you see on TV. They look at millions of prices, or so they say, to figure out how much a watch is worth. They got these websites, I heard, where you can see how much your old watch is worth. But I ain’t got no fancy watches, just my old Timex, and it keeps tickin’ just fine.
Seems like there’s a lot of people who are crazy about these watches, in the game and in real life. They talk about them online, on them “reddits” and such. My grandson showed me some pictures of the watch. It looks kinda shiny, with all them fancy numbers and such. But it’s just a picture on a screen, you know? Not like a real watch you can hold in your hand.
Anyway, that’s about all I know about this Reutlinger watch. It’s a fancy pocket watch in a video game, and folks seem to like it. Maybe it reminds them of the old days, when things were simpler. Or maybe they just like collectin’ things, even if them things ain’t real. Me? I’d rather have a good cup of coffee and a warm biscuit. That’s somethin’ real you can enjoy.
So there ya have it. Not much, I know, but it’s the best I can do. This old woman ain’t no expert on watches, ya hear? But I can tell ya this, time keeps on tickin’, whether you got a fancy Reutlinger or just an old Timex like me. And that’s the truth!
