One uppery at its finest...

A guy on another forum I frequent asked for suggestions on cheap watches as a gift. Due to the numerious e-pimps lying about their riches, one of the first sarcastic responses was that we only roll with Rolex on that site...

Little did the guy know...


First guy posts (read the post on his screen )

Unless the camera is playing tricks with the placement and size of the subdials then that Daytona is a Folex.

The crown looks a tad big, but who am I to judge.

LOL...y'all read my mind. The first thing I thought when I saw that Daytona is that the subdials are all wrong. Then looking closer a lot is wrong.

I dunno, the part where they are about to have a group order of that fake daytona disgust me.

Why can't people who can't afford something stick with something within their budget? Get a timex or a happy meal watch would be better than wearing a folex.
