Rolex Owners?.. - Page 7

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.

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?

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.

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.

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).

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

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

Anyway...
