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

: 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!!!

Wow, I haven't been around these parts for a while. What happened, you guys leave the door open? All in all, a pretty funny read. I'm gonna speculate that old Pieter was a bit bored with his middle management job, ugly wife, and ill mannered brood of kids and decided to have a little fun at this forum's expense. That's gotta be it, because I can't believe that there would be such an intense Rolex Fanboy "in the wild". The only other possible reasons would be: 1) He maxed out his credit card on his first "big boy" watch, and his wife is bustin' his ass so he has to justify why his kids will be eating Ramen Noodles for the next year, or 2) He has overdosed on Superlative Kool-Aid and is hallucinating. Still, I'm disappointed that he didn't bring up the whole 904L Super Steel thing. In any event, Pieter could quite possibly be the perfect douche. Congratulations. You are the man. ~ David
