What I actually meant was the fascination in Rolexes.
But I know what you mean. My Grandmother never threw away the plastic containers she received from takeout restautants. I'm sure there's a collection of quart size soup tubs somewhere in Kalibo that my kids are destined to inherit.

We grew all up about 100 miles southwest of Chicago. I live here now for school, in which I will probably stay up here to work.
I have never been the Philippines, but I plan to someday! Mike |

I lived in the Philippines for a couple years back in the late 70's, Davao, Panabo, Cagayan de Oro. I sure do miss the food! Best calamari in the world.

Kumusta, mga pare!
From Davao, myself. It seems a few of us have connections to this place, which is pretty cool. My attraction to Rolex started with my dad. He had a TTDJ, which he gave to my brother and another which, he gave to me. Now, he wears a platinum day-date with diamond markers and I got myself a new AK. I also have an Oris Artelier Skeleton, a Breitling Superocean, a Breguet TypeXX and a suunto HR monitor plus a G-shock. By the way, awesome collection jdH! |

BTW. Is it safe to wear a Rolex in the Philippines. I hear stories that people have good eye in spotting real ones, and is it true you will also get mugged wearing a rolex in the philippines aswell? |

Oh it is not that bad, I wear a Datejust and one of my clients wears a all gold Day-Date everyday... actually, seeing a Rolex in the wild is not unusual.... there are so many high quality fake Rolex's here, I do not know how many are real and how many are fakes. Mobile phones and laptops make you more of a target I think.
Am from Quezon City, but since I am a real estate lawyer I moved my office and residence to Cavite last year. Well that is where all the title fraud is these days ![]() Greetings from Cavite: ![]() |

SAY US of A, dark alley in Detroit, or downtown LA, will wear your YGs or TTs? So in the Philippines is not remote. ![]() I was even robbed inside ONE OF THE BIGGEST HOTEL/CASINO IN THE WORLD, considering the the number of SEcurity Personnels 2 or more in every corner with lots of EYE IN THE SKY as back up. ![]() ![]() |
