Re: Now a Rolex is better, not just better VFM?

: Pieter, I like your enthusiasm and you clearly think you
: have stirred the Omega diehards, but as I read through these
: posts, it only seems that you are the one that has gotten fired
: up. We have simply asked you to just present valid arguments for
: your position, for which you then presented your worldly
: possessions as evidence to support your claim, and a general
: statement about Tissot being one of your favorite watches? What
: relevence this has to this argument somewhat escapes me at the
: moment, but hey, whatever to deflect the original question, I
: guess. When you do decide to put your fingers on the keyboard to
: bang out a meaningful comparison of X Omega vs Y Rollie and why
: specifically they are vastly different Value for Money, I will
: be the first to read it. I guess if anything, at least what you
: have said so far has been mildly amusing, and it didn't cost me
: anything. Now thats about as good a VFM that you can get.
I've kept you guys busy, hey?!!! I've never evr owned a Rolex or a Jaguar or a Armani suit, Gucci shoes. I only have one Omega and that's my pride and joy. I wear a Tissot PRS 516 and I have some other, cheaper watches as well. So why did I post this lot of bull? Ilove the way you defend what you believe in.. I drive Ford cars, I know they're not the best, but I love them. I ride a GT bicycle because I WANT to, I never wear a suit and I love Crocks, my car is a 1998 Mondeo 1.8 and my pickup a 2005 Bantam half tonner. I'm actually a poor guy, can't even afford a new Omega although I would love to have one. So a Rolex is way out of my reach and I don't even like a Rolex, to flashy. Are you angry with me? Please don't be!! It was a pleasure to see you defend your babies without being nasty. Keep going, I will come and visit you again later on. Bye!!!
