Rolex Owners?.. - Page 10

I have a seiko. I paid 280, I thought that was much too steep for a watch. I found it online later that week for 180. I know I'll never exceed 200 again for a watch. There's just no need.

Ya know, if I stopped buying cigars, pipes, and pipe tobaccos for a while I could probablybuy a Rolex with what I'd have...hmmm....watch? Nah, got two already, and I bust them up fast...wouldn't want to do that to a Rolex...

As a Rolex owner, if I said it was the looks that attracted me, it would be akin to saying I am going blind, although classic beauty appeals to me.

If I said I had a clue how the insides worked, I'd be a liar.

I brush it lightly with a toothbrush and mild detergent when it's dirty and get pissed when I have to reset it after 2 days off and it stopped running from not being worn. Looks as good as the day I got it.

If I said I'm a closet materialistic jerk who likes the look of it on my wrist, I'd be speaking accurately. I bought it solely because of the name and what my perception of that name is.

I enjoy talking about it with fellow Rolex owners and normally avoid conversations with those who don't own one as there is usually too much explaining for me.

For me, it represents something that was a total spluge and was something I always wanted butalways had other stuff I needed to pay for first. The years went by, and I was in my 40's and although it wasn't on the top of my priorities, it remained a strong desire.

Aside from a wedding band, it is the only piece of jewelry I will wear.

Every time I put it on my wrist, it reminds me of 2007, my best sales year ever, before the recession was a thought, and something only for me as the floors and kitchen were being done for my wife.

In hindsight, the money could have been better spent in a more responsible way, but I'm glad it wasn't.

Probably makes some think less of me, but in the vast majority of the cases, that's totally cool with me.

Colin, I hope yours brings you happiness, even if it's fake.

Wait, that one doesn't work either.

King James do you have a reading disability? I said I used a 9 iron. Typing on my virtual keyboard on my phone in class is a pain.

well at least you can sink birdies wearing your rolex @ Augusta National after a lesson with Tiger Woods and then go home in your private jet and light up one of your bargain cigars
