Re: Watch Recognition
In Response To: Watch Recognition ()

hi,

good point regarding the watch paying for itself.

ref the women, i recon most people recognise a rolex, including 'gold diggers' like Marylin Monroe is 'Gentlemen prefer blondes' who put it so very nicely::

a man being rich is like a girl being pretty. you wouldn't marry her for it, but u wouldn't mind if she was pretty'

off course (some) women go after the rolex.
it is a recognisable show-off wotch and the very reason i do not feel comfortable wearing one.

: I have been wearing an Omega Seamaster Titanium
: Chronograph (2289.80)for 4 ½ years every day
: and have never even had it noticed or
: complemented upon once. I can’t explain why
: but I bought a Rolex Submariner Friday and
: have received 11 compliments in 2 days.
: Don’t get me wrong I could care less about
: the complements I am just stating a fact.
: What I do care about is I was in bars both
: Friday and Sat. evenings and have had 3
: women buy me drinks. This usually does not
: happen. Here is the point at $10.00 per
: drink with tip that’s $30.00 a week so the
: watch will be paid for in less then 3 years.
