There is a guy selling a super nice Rolex hat on eBay for $350 OBO. It is tempting to buy.

Ah I see.

It is what it is.

And no, I think it’s evident there is no competition between the two, and neither was that my angle with my comment.

I must say, the quality is splendid.


Never been invited to an event...although I have been asked to leave the store.

I know that "Slowhand" Clapton is an avid watch collector and owner of several Rolexes and Pateks, but is he really a Rolex brand ambassador?

Rolex Ambassadors get paid (handsomely) to represent the brand ie; RF's $15M endorsement deal.

EC is not an official Ambassador.
