Re: Rolex Owners?..
 

Tell you guys what, whether the OP has one or not, thread has evolved into something that frankly taught me a bit about my watch.
For that alone, was well worth it for me.

If he has it or not, won't enrich or diminish any of our lives. He is the one that will eventually be called out on it or live with that lie, if it is one. What I will add is I find interesting, only now after all this stuff is being said, that $8 beads were a stretch on finances but half of a Rolex Daytona is not. Why someone would get their kicks from a fabricated story, don't know but I am no longer that age either and can't remember much today, let alone yesterday.:r
One thing I was taught in my business is if someone is lying, let them talk enough. In time, nothing adds up and prior discussions are confused as lies cannot be readily recalled as the truth can.

However, again, means nothing to me as much as the resulting discussions have meant and added value.

i had been saving for this specific watch for years now. whilst my cigar fund is limited.

Doesn't phase me one way or another to be frank.
As I mentioned, doesn't impact the one on my wrist in any way.

However, some folks have called you out on this now and frankly, having now witnessed this response via mobile device, what they have raised is valid in terms of a photo.
Take a quick photo of your wrist and post it. I would be neat to see how it looks on your wrist.;)

After that, man would you have made them eat their words.
Just :2 from a semi wise old man.

Re: Rolex Owners?..
 

I will post pictures as soon as I get home (330 central), as I dont know how to upload straight from my phone.

Re: Rolex Owners?..
 

I for one demand a picture, regardless of quality, which includes the following:

Your face
The watch
Todays newspaper
Proof of age(ie; State ID, Birth Certificate)
and Proof of purchase(Notarized, of course)




J/k.

What he said... If your lying, it's not my problem, so I don't care.

If not, make haste with the picture of that beautiful man-bracelet, so those of us that can't afford one can ogle it.

Re: Rolex Owners?..
 

No doubt. More than a Rolex though, I want a Breitling.

Re: Rolex Owners?..
 

Nope- mine takes a licking and keeps on ticking.

I got a sea dweller for my 21 birthday, but sacrificed it for school. wish i had it back they don't even make it any more. relapsed it with some monstrosity.

Re: Rolex Owners?..
 

I work with a rather large fellow whose arms are bigger than my whole body.

He was a walk on DB for the Florida Gators and never made it to the NFL.

He is down on his finances and can barely make rent.

On his wrist is a two tone Rolex that I would guess would cost more than 10k in a store.

A couple guys were teasing him about his "fake Rolex" and I stayed out in fear of a punch in the face as well as the fact that I couldn't give a rat's ass if it was fake or not as mine is real.

These are the same group of guys who told me "real men don't have Shih Tzus" when I brought one for my little girl who was devestaed at Christmas when our Border Collie died.

They're also the last salesmen out on rotation because they spend so much time figuring out who is a real man and can't sell ****.

The conversation became awkward when he explained his father was a Marine who died and left it for him and he would rather sleep in the street than sell it.

You just never know, and if Colin is making up stories to be so much cooler online, he's the one that has to look at himself in the mirror every day.

If he's telling the truth, more power to him.

For the sake of drama, I'll check back later to see if he posted a pic and I probably have an extra digital camera laying around if he is down on his finances.

Re: Rolex Owners?..
 

Good Points, Pete!:tu

Re: Rolex Owners?..
 

Pete,
No doubt.
As I said earlier, people do things for various reasons.
Different strokes for different folks.

I use to deliver pizza in Newark in my late teens/early 20's.
I would be in all the projects in the area dropping off pizzas on the corners as would not go into the buildings.
However, each and every time I showed up in the projects, there were freaking Caddy's everywhere. New ones no less.
These were very poor people that lived in conditions I would die if I ever experienced that.
Meantime, here I am, living in a very nice town, with nice furniture and stuff, driving a Toyota Corolla.
They chose to spend their last penny on Caddy's and live in run down projects with little or beat up furniture while I chose to spend my money on a nice home and drive a Toyota Corolla.

Different strokes, for different folks. Whatever makes you happy.

Re: Rolex Owners?..
 

How do we know that is your wrist and your watch? You could have gotten that photo off of the internets. :hf

Re: Rolex Owners?..
 

:sad

You found ME out, I'm a fraud.

Re: Rolex Owners?..
 

Got That Right, Bro; You're Not Even "Mean"!:r:D

Re: Rolex Owners?..
 

Cheap Photoshop trick.
That is not even real.:r

Re: Rolex Owners?..
 

Same here. I have had mine for a little over five years and the bracelet is pretty loose. I have thought about taking it to a jeweler to see if they can do anything about it; I imagine not though. Still love the thing.

Re: Rolex Owners?..
 

Hmmm... You may be right, the watch is showing EST time while Darrell supposedly lives on the West Coast?

Re: Rolex Owners?..
 

Does not matter to me whether he has one or not; it’s pretty lame if he is lying though. What will be a truth or fiction when posts from there on in? It’s not worth talking BS on forums or bragging about you have.

One thing I know is true, no matter how many Rolex, cigars, hot babes, max bench press… someone else has got more, done more. Pissing contests are futile, and if you have a health issue or no joy in life, it’s all in vain.

I know people that probably have more than all of us on this thread, and they would trade it all for a solid crap and a positive outlook on life. Enjoy what you have, be thankful you have the health to enjoy it, and the grass is not greener.

Re: Rolex Owners?..
 

Agree 100%. A friend of mine owns one of the largest and best known diamond places in NYC, you would never figure out he does if you'd look for "signs" of watches or jewelry, he's just not in "show" and many others aren't, either.
.

And while we're awaiting "proof"... Imagine a high school kid approaching someone on a street in OH and ask if he can snap a picture of the man's Rolex. What could go wrong?

Re: Rolex Owners?..
 

I was told once they loosen up, not much to cure that problem, specially if gold.
Mine is 16 years old and the bracelet is still pretty tight, almost as if new. The guy at the jewelry store in Vegas even commented on how surprised he was to see it such good shape.
My secret is simple (I think). My friend that use to work for Rolex told me from the moment I got it to make sure it fit snug on my wrist, that it didn't sit loose with any play.
I have worn it that way ever since and I guess it must work well indeed.
BTW, that drove me nuts to get use to as I hated a anything tight on my wrist.
Eventually, I got over it.

Re: Rolex Owners?..
 

Excellent words of wisdom.

Re: Rolex Owners?..
 

Great post! Lotta pissn contests in this community.

Re: Rolex Owners?..
 

You're right. This place sucks. We should all just leave. :rolleyes:

Re: Rolex Owners?..
 

We'll start our own community! :rolleyes:

Re: Rolex Owners?..
 

I'll stay. :D

Re: Rolex Owners?..
 

In any large community (group of people), there is bound to be conflict and difficult people. But, by and large, I think this is a pretty cool place. And I honestly believe most of our members like it here. If they don't, there are plenty of other boards out there that may be more to their liking. No community will be suitable for everyone.

Re: Rolex Owners?..
 

:tpd: I know I do but only when Darrell is offline;)

Re: Rolex Owners?..
 

I love you too, Scott. ;)

The pictures off my Samsung Eternity dont do it justice.. Shitty camera.
Not sure why two of them are upside down either..?

Re: Rolex Owners?..
 

:)

Thanks for sharing!!

Re: Rolex Owners?..
 

Hope this puts to rest any thoughts that I may be a liar. :)

Re: Rolex Owners?..
 

nice watch Colin.

Re: Rolex Owners?..
 

Thanks scott!

Re: Rolex Owners?..
 

I'm not satisfied.....










.....but that's only because I want one now :r

Re: Rolex Owners?..
 

Nah.

Go give your Dad his watch back kiddo.

























































































Just kidding! Nice watch!

Re: Rolex Owners?..
 

I must have missed those threads.
Lots is quite a statistical statement given the number of threads on this board. Statistically speaking, Lots truly only applies to all the good stuff there is in fact. Lotta, well, heck if know what that is (poking fun, not ill willed).

:tpd:


Only one thing to be said................
Enjoy in good health!

Re: Rolex Owners?..
 

These are NOT Daytona pictures, that's for sure. Anyone who knows the watch will tell you that.

Anyway...

Re: Rolex Owners?..
 

Thanks for sharing, but we still need the picture of the watch to include a copy of today's newspaper in order to properly authenticate the date. Just kidding! Nice watch. :D

Re: Rolex Owners?..
 

Thats not a daytona??? Are you kidding me?! If I had a better camera I would take a picture of the red wording around the bottom dial that says "DAYTONA" Oh well. There are always those who are hypocritical in response to their jealousy.

Re: Rolex Owners?..
 

LOL, you must not have read his entire post.

Re: Rolex Owners?..
 

What am I missing here?

Re: Rolex Owners?..
 

A real Rolex?


;s

Re: Rolex Owners?..
 

Darrell- that kind of kidding I have no problem with brother. Just people that are always hypocritical because he "knows" my watch. Brother of jealousy, would you like my address, and you can come authenticate it yourself?

Re: Rolex Owners?..
 

You can send it to me, I'll authenticate it for you.

Re: Rolex Owners?..
 

Woops, I got Darrell's post mixed up with Riddicks. :tf

Re: Rolex Owners?..
 

Haha, oh well. Like has been stated before, there are always few hypocrits. Anyways, I have proven myself. Enjoy the thread guys. I am happy it has been quite a learning experience for a few. :)

Re: Rolex Owners?..
 

That's a good idea my bracelet takes a beating.
