Routine Rolex Maintenance is only $1K USD. What a Bargain.
The tale in which the Aggie Ring gets the most favourite of his Rolex watches back from the Rolex technical facility in NYC.
“Wake up! Wake up!” the Jersey Shore Fightin’ Texas Aggie Ring cried out as he woke me up this morning.
“What is it?” I asked. I had planned on sleeping in until at least 11:00 a.m. since it’s a Friday.
“The Rolex is back! The Rolex is back!” he excitedly exclaimed.
You see dear reader, we had taken Aggie Ring’s $15,000.00 Deepsea Rolex in for it’s $1,000.00 routine maintenance about 8 weeks ago and the jewelers had received it back from the Rolex offices in NYC. Just remember, It’s ALWAYS a good idea to buy a Rolex. :-)
Some might think $15K is a tad bit much for a simple wristwatch, but it CAN dive down to 12500 feet below sea level. That’s deeper than the Titanic. Who knows, maybe the Aggie Ring and I might dive down there sometime. Maybe we’ll see the body of Jack Dawson who sleeps on the ocean floor after Rose pushed him off the wooden door she was floating on to save herself and her diamond necklace.
Aggie Ring and I drove into Red Bank, New Jersey where the only nearby Rolex dealer is located. I didn’t realize until I procured my first Rolex that very few jewelers are allowed to carry the Rolex line of watches. Aggie Ring was so excited that he had me spend the $1.50 to take the Jersey Parkway. When we arrived Aggie Ring was in such a hurry that he didn’t even feed the parking meter.
The routine maintenance for Aggie Ring’s Rolex only came out to $986.00. A real bargain for Aggie Ring. If only it had been a more affordable $984.00. Aggie Ring doesn’t care for the number “86” too much. But, the cost did include a nice pouch.
As we left the jewelers, it was lightly sprinkling outside. “Darn it all.” I said to Aggie Ring. “Now it’s raining outside.”
“Don’t you understand?” said Aggie Ring. “That’s not rain, it’s the tears of angels. Every time an Aggie Ring gets a Rolex watch, the angels cry tears of joy because there’s one less Aggie Ring without a fancy Rolex. I saw that in a Christmas movie made back in the late 40s.”
I didn’t want to put on the Rolex yet because I didn’t want to embarrass people on the street who didn’t have a Rolex so I drove to one of the many bars in Red Bank, New Jersey. Normally, we would have walked, but the angles were crying and I didn’t want to get their tears of joy all over my leather official issue leather military jacket.
Aggie Ring and I went inside a nice bar that has a stage and live music — most do in this town. We ordered a Cigar City Espresso Stout and sat down to open the little pouch that Aggie Ring’s Rolex came with from the maintenance factory.
We looked at it on the table there next to the beer, basking in the light coming in through the window and I couldn’t help but think, “The angels are probably crying because after spending $15K for a watch, I still have to spend ~$1K every five years for maintenance. I will admit, they had buffed all the scratches out where I was frequently accidentally hitting it against brick walls and other things that had scratched it. It did look absolutely new.
“Come here my precious.” said Aggie Ring to the Rolex. “Put it on.” cried Aggie Ring.
I put the Rolex and Aggie Ring on my left hand (my Aggie Ring’s a leftie and doesn’t like to be worn on my right hand or far away from his Rolex). The feeling was instantly awesome. Aggie Ring and I felt like better people because we were wearing a Rolex. Aggie Ring cried out, “Feels so good!”
Aggie Ring and I both looked around the bar to make sure we were the only ones wearing a Rolex. If there had been anyone else wearing one, Aggie Ring would have had to get his sword out of the trunk and behead them.
On the way home after the stout (which was quite delicious), Aggie Ring had me stop for a haircut. “You can’t go around looking like a slob when you’re wearing a Rolex. Not on this Jersey Shore Aggie Ring’s watch.”
I have to admit, yet again, that Aggie Ring was correct. When you put on a Rolex, you become a better person — taller, smarter, better looking, and skinnier. Everyone should own one or two. :-)
