:lol: Just goes to show that a lot of non-WIS bought Rolies are purchased purely as a sign to say "I've made it", without any knowledge or appreciation for watches in general. Nothing wrong with that per se as not everyone is as obsessed as we are (OK, very few people are!), but it leaves people like that guy open to ridicule if they just assume that Rolex is by default "the best brand in the world".

And on the other hand, it ably demonstrates once again what a superb job Rolex has done in ensuring that it's brand is recognised by Joe Public as THE prestige watch brand.

Rolex is by default "the best brand in the world"

Do you mean they aren't? But they take over a year to make??

While working one evening an older gentleman comes up and was wearing a nice Rolex. I said to him, nice watch sir. He thanked me and then said, young fella if you work hard one day you'll be able to afford a nice watch like this. I kept my composure, but was cracking up inside.
I was wearing this at the time.


With my rotation at home. It was just to funny.

:uplaugh:


Funny story. Maybe you should show him your entire collection, assuming he knows any other watches apart from rolex

Certainly nothing wrong with Rolex' marketing department.
