He asked me not to say anything else so I won’t. Frankly, I couldn’t say anything he hasn’t said himself with his post.

As usual, the members on the forum call it as they see it so not much I need to say at all.

To be fair, the only person who he's 'ripping' is himself with comments like this!

No need for cuff links in my life. Wouldn't wear them even if I owned them.

Well there is a old saying that self praise is no recommendation, and one of the main reasons this forum was started way back in 2005 was to get away from posts like this.

Is there any insider news on the battery number for these cufflinks or will finally Rolex offer a charging port? Either way, there'll be a long waiting list. Earrings will soon follow.
Almost forgot...anyone know where to find a long sleeve shirt?

This reads like a satire, but knowing the state of society today and constant d*** measuring (particularly in the watch community) I don’t have the luxury of being charitable in its interpretation.

Listen man, all these material trinkets and 0s in your bank account don’t really mean jack. If that’s your measure of a man and what life is about, then you got it twisted. It’s a soulless, fruitless pursuit if you’re just chasing after the next shiny thing and think you’re going to derive true joy from it. And here’s the rub - there will always be someone with a bigger yacht, bigger crib, and bigger bank account than you. Then what? You feel lesser than those people? At least be insecure and don’t waste your money IMO.

Crazy how you’ve made it this far in life and neither your parents nor your personal experience has taught this - the measure of a man and his self worth is his contributions to those nearest and dearest to him, and to the community. I think everyone here knows of people with modest means that are far more respected than a tasteless, soulless “baller” that equates a dollar sign to self worth. Obviously something is lacking personally that you equate so much worth and value in ones’s being to financial wealth. Money can’t buy class is epitomized in a post like yours. This is everything that is wrong with society and watch collecting, and I’m disappointed that a community I am a part of shares values like this far too often.

I’ll leave you with this: “you’ll never see a U-haul behind a hearse. The Egyptians tried, and all they got was robbed.”

Most people with real money don't brag and have some class. I said, "most people" and I think this guy is FOS or a classless moron.

Just fact checking here...

You were on a waiting list for a car that had an MSRP in the $900k range and paid $2.75 million? From what I remember, Porsche couldn't fill the order banks for that car and offered buyers first right of refusals on any and all special edition or GT cars for several years to entice them to buy the 918.

I know, right? Probably a little bit of both.

Money just makes you more of what you are already… So, I think we all know enough.

By a member of 4 years? Trolls generally join and then post provocative stuff immediately. I think he was triggered by someone calling him out on his attitude.

You are correct.

BTW...He's on a waiting list for these? Funny, I just walk in and leave with what I want.

My wedding is in 10 months, is it possible to get cuff links by then?

Should I let RSC polish my cuff links?

Wait, this can't be a real post, right? This can't be what this society has become, The bragging of net worth of depreciating assets?
Did he forget to throw in what he paid for his wifes implants?

I've been around enough to know that tough guys don't talk tough and real money doesn't talk at all.

This. It took them awhile to sell all they planned to produce. The 10 year VIP deal helped move the rest. They also started by saying they would not do Paint to Samples but relented later.

You make a very good point it looks like his numbers are slightly off…..maybe the yacht was also overvalued at $4 million too.

I don't know OP, but have seen his posts around and never thought he was this way. I wonder if it was satire gone awry or he was having a bad day?

Wow, I'm way out of my league here. No yacht, no Porsche, no $6000 cuff links. Don't even own a garage, let a alone garage full of cars. Anybody know of a Tudor forum for the working class guy?

No, I think what he is trying to say is that the car is worth 2.75 million in today's market, which isn't true. It's worth about 2 million with some miles, paint to sample and Weissach package

Anyway, our Sears was a stand alone.
