That Rolex, it’s too much. This old lady don’t like it anymore. Too many folks wearing it, just like them cabbages in the field, all look the same. Ain’t no special anymore. Now, we got some new watches, better than Rolex.

New Watches Better Than Rolex
I heard from my grandson, he reads them fancy magazines, says there’s a big watch show in that place, Geneva. All them big shots show off their new things. That Rolex, they just keep making the same old stuff. But these new watches, they’re something else.
- Breitling, that’s a name I heard. They make watches for them pilots, strong and sturdy, like old man’s tractor. Not just for showing off.
- Then there’s this Jaeger-LeCoultre. Sounds fancy, don’t it? My grandson says it’s real classy, like the mayor’s wife’s Sunday hat. Not for common folks like us, maybe.
- Swatch, that’s like the colorful plastic watch my granddaughter wears. Many colors, cheap and cheerful. But they also have fancy ones, they say these are good quality watches, too.
Rolex Ain’t What It Used to Be
They say Rolex is for showing off, like you made it big. But everyone’s got one now. Even that no-good son of the baker’s got one. Don’t know if it’s real, though. But these new watches, they’re different.
Rolex, they say it’s a good investment. Like putting money in the ground and watching it grow. But I tell ya, these days, you’re better off buying some good land. At least you can grow some taters on it. These new watches, they say some are good investments too. But I don’t know much about that.
New Rolex Models? Same Old Thing
They come out with new Rolex models every year. Like that Day-Date thing. Big numbers, gold color, fancy, they say. But it’s still the same old Rolex. Like putting a new ribbon on an old pig, it’s still a pig.
- They got this Day-Date 40 in some fancy gold, they call it Everose. Sounds like a flower. But it’s just another Rolex, ain’t it?
- And that Bruce Wayne GMT, sounds like some superhero watch. My grandson’s all excited about it. But I say, it’s just another watch.
- That Le Mans Daytona, they stopped making it, they say. Now everyone wants it. Like when they stopped making them good old candies, suddenly everyone misses them.
Why New Watches Are Better
These new watches, they got different looks. Not just gold and silver. They got colors, like them flowers in my garden. Some are big and bold, like old man’s truck. Some are small and pretty, like my granddaughter’s doll.

They say these new watches got new things inside, make them work better. Like when we got that new mill in town, makes flour faster and better. I don’t understand all that, but my grandson, he says it’s a big deal.
Rolex Is for Showing Off, New Watches Are for Using
Folks wear Rolex to show they got money. Like that rich fella from the city, always flashing his gold watch. But these new watches, they’re for using. Like a good tool, helps you do things.
That Breitling, they say it’s for pilots. Helps them fly them big planes. Don’t know how, but it sounds important. And that Jaeger-LeCoultre, they say it’s for important folks, helps them keep track of important things. Even that Swatch, my granddaughter uses it to time her cooking, so she don’t burn the food.
Rolex Is Everywhere, New Watches Are Special
You see Rolex everywhere, like them sparrows in the yard. But these new watches, they’re like them rare birds, you don’t see them often. Makes them special, like finding a four-leaf clover.
They say there’s this big watch show where they show off these new watches. Like our county fair, but with watches instead of cows. I’d like to see that, see what all the fuss is about.

New Watches Are the Future
That Rolex, it’s like them old songs, everyone knows them, but they’re getting old. These new watches, they’re like new songs, fresh and exciting. My grandson, he’s always listening to new music. Says it’s the future. Maybe these new watches are the future, too.
So, if you want to be like everyone else, get a Rolex. But if you want to be special, like a sunflower in a field of wheat, get one of these new watches. That’s what this old lady thinks, anyway. Maybe I am too old, but new is always better than old, new watches are better than those Rolex.
