Thanks Johnny!

A guy at work stopped me yesterday and said "This is not the Rolex you want to be seen with. You need the kind with the bezel that has the little teeth on the side".
What a moron.

Like the killer bunny?

Follow. But. Follow only if ye be men of valour, for the entrance to this cave is guarded by a creature so foul, so cruel that no man yet has fought with it and lived. Bones of full fifty men lie strewn about its lair. So, brave knights, if you do doubt your courage or your strength, come no further, for death awaits you all with nasty, big, pointy teeth.

What Chip? You don't wear your Rolex to impress people so they KNOW it's a Rolex? Obviously that guy only knows one luxury brand of watches.... and for all the wrong reasons.

In the real world, a real Rolex is the one everyone identifies with. Here, we talk about our preference but we all want a little celebrity in us. I see where the guy was going probably about owning a Submariner. The President DJ and Submariner are the main Rolex identified by the general public as being a Rolex watch. This is my opinion of my personal expereiences. People see my DJ and know what it is or they check to see if its a plat DD.

Yup, and people see my tuna-can-on-a-strap and haven't a clue what it is, and I'm 100% cool with that.

Doesn't get much better than that! Even if it is pulled from the dark ages.
