OK then, while you're thinking, here's another one from the Bard.
From Julius Caesar Marc Antony speaks: Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your Explorers, your Submariners, in fact all your Rolex! I come to bury Caesar not to praise him. The evil watches that men have live after them, the good ones are oft interred with their bones. So let it be with Caesar. The noble Brutus hath told you Caesar was ambitious for many Rolex. If it were so, it was not a grievous fault, but grievously hath Caesar answer’d it. Here, under leave of Brutus and the rest– For Brutus is an honourable man, so are they all, all honourable men– come I to speak in Caesar’s funeral. He was my friend, a WIS, faithful and just to me but Brutus says he was ambitious and Brutus is an honourable man. He hath brought many Rolex home to Rome whose sale on TRF did the general coffers fill: Did this in Caesar seem ambitious? When that the poor have cried for lack of a Rolex, Caesar hath wept - ambition should be made of sterner stuff. Yet Brutus says he was ambitious and Brutus is an honourable man. You all did see that on the Lupercal, I thrice presented him the kingly Rolex crown which he did thrice refuse - was this ambition? Yet Brutus says he was ambitious and, sure, he is an honourable man, though Brutus wears a Timex. I speak not to disprove what Brutus spoke, but here I am to speak what I do know, and what I know is watches, and of those, the greatest is Rolex. You all did love him once, not without cause – he wore a YG President. MY YG President! What cause withholds you then, to mourn for him? O judgment! thou art fled to brutish beasts, and men have lost their reason. Bear with me – my Rolex which I loaned, is in the coffin there with Caesar, and I must pause till it come back to me.

HEAT :)
Vincent Hanna: My life's a disaster zone. I got a Seamaster so f*%$#* up because I use to polish it myself. I got a Submariner, we're passing each other on the down-slope of a ownership - my third - because I keep flipping them all the time chasing Patek’s around the block. That's my life. Neil McCauley: A guy told me one time, "Don't let yourself get attached to any Rolex you are not willing to flip in 30 seconds flat if you feel the heat of Patek around the corner." Now, if you're on Patek quest and you gotta move when you find one, how do you expect to keep a... a Rolex? |

The details of my life are quite inconsequential... very well, where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving watch collector from Switzerland with a low grade obsession and a penchant for Rolex. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with a ladies TT DJ. My father would post on TRF, he would flip. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the term LNIB. Sometimes he would accuse rotors of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the WIS possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical. Summers changing watch bands, lug hole lessons. In the spring we'd go to Basel. When I wore a fashion watch I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with a NATO - pretty standard really.

I seem to have got myself caught-up in Shakespearean references so here goes again:
From As You Like It: Jacques speaks: All the world’s a stage, And all the men and women merely potential watch buyers. The many models have their exits and their entrances, and one man in his time buys many watches, his purchases being o’er seven ages. At first the infant, mewling and puking on the nurse’s arms and on her Lady Date-Just. And then the whining school-boy, with his Air King and shining morning face, creeping like snail unwillingly to school. And then the lover with passionate TT Blue Submariner, sighing like furnace with a woeful ballad made to his mistress’ Lady Date-Just. Then a soldier, bedecked with sturdy GMT, full of strange oaths, and bearded like the pard, Jealous in honour, sudden and quick in quarrel and seeking the ‘bubble-back’ reputation even in the cannon’s mouth. And then the justice, in fair round belly with good capon lin’d, with eyes severe and beard of formal cut, platinum Daytona prominent on wrist. Full of wise saws and modern instances and so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts into the lean and slipper’d pantaloon, with spectacles on nose and pouch on side; his youthful Explorer II well sav’d, it’s Oyster bracelet a world too wide for his shrunk shank; and his big manly voice, turning again toward childish treble, pipes and whistles in his sound. Last scene of all, that ends this strange eventful history, is second childishness and mere oblivion, sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans Rolex, sans everything.

Jack Rabbit Slims....(Watches)
JACKRABBIT WATCHES - NIGHT
In the past six years, Rolex Boutiques have sprung up all over L.A., giving other luxury brand watchmakers a run for their money. They're all basically the same decor out of "Luxury" magazines, Shiny diamonds dancing off of the well placed ceiling lights, White Gloves to showcase the time relics, Pricelists that only the finest will fork over, maybe even a little too much, But they are ROLEX watches, so some pay it. But then you have the Rolex Forum Trusted sellers, the big mama of those in the know. Either the best or the worst, depending on your point of view. Vincent's Malibu pulls up to the new brick and mortar Rolex Forum trusted seller’s store. A big sign with a neon figure of a cartoon surly cool cat jackrabbit in a red windbreaker towers over the establishment. Underneath the cartoon is the name: JACKRABBIT WATCHES. Underneath that is the slogan: "Next best thing to a time machine." VINCENT What the heck is this place? MIA This is Jackrabbit watches. Any Rolex man should love it. VINCENT Come on, Mia, let's go get a Tudor. MIA You can get a Tudor here, daddy-o. Don't be a... Mia draws a square with her hands. Dotted lines appear on the screen, forming a square shaped watch of an unknown brand. The lines disperse. VINCENT After you, kitty-cat. INT. JACKRABBIT WATCHES – NIGHT Compared to the interior, the exterior was that of a quaint English pub. Posters from 50's Rolex ads and the movies they appeared in all over the wall ("SUBMARINER," "DAYTONA," "DATE JUST," and "GMT"). The booths that the patrons sit in are made out of the large watch parts and watch cases. In the middle of the restaurant is a dance floor. A big sign on the wall states, "No shoes allowed." So wannabe beboppers (actually Bell&Ross-types) do the twist in their socks or bare feet. The SALES MEN and SALES LADIES are made up as impersonators of 50's icons that wore Rolex Watches in their starring movie Roll: PAUL NEWMAN, SEAN CONNERY, SEAN PENN, ROBERT REDFORD, DENIRO, wait on tables wearing appropriate costumes. Vincent and Mia study the Items for sale in a booth made out of a huge red/black GMT. ROGER MOORE (their Sales Associate), comes over, sporting a big button on his chest that says: "Hi I'm ROGER, Do you have the time. ROGER Bond, James Bond, what can I get you? VINCENT I'll have the Tudor Heritage Chrono ROGER How will you pay, Cash or Credit. Bank Wire preferred. VINCENT Cash and bring me some coffee ROGER How 'bout you, Pussy Galore? MIA Submariner Model ref. 5508 ROGER Box and Papers or just Slap it on and walk? MIA Slap it on and walk out. Leave the Box and papers for those reseller types. VINCENT Did you just order a ’59 5508? MIA Sure did. VINCENT A 5508? Watch and walk? MIA Uh-huh. VINCENT It costs $25,555 dollars? ROGER Yep. VINCENT You don't get a shot of ESPRESSO on the side or anything? Maybe a Bergeon to help out from time to time? ROGER Nope. VINCENT Just checking. ROGER EXITS. Vincent takes a look around the place. The YUPPIES are dancing, The Patrons are trying on Hublots, Tags, IWC Big pilots, and the icons are playing their parts. Steve McQueen acting out “The Hunter”, Eddie Murphy acting out “Distinguished Gentleman”, A Nick Nolte type quoting a scene from “The Deep”. There was even a Charlize Theron look alike with a DSSD asking all the folks if everything was to their satisfaction. MIA Whaddya think? VINCENT It's like a wax museum with a pulse rate. Vincent takes out his pouch of tobacco and begins rolling himself a smoke. After a second of watching him – MIA What are you doing? VINCENT Rollin' a smoke. MIA Here Inside this BRAND new store? VINCENT It's just tobacco. MIA Oh. Well in that case, will you roll me one, cowboy? As he finishes licking it – VINCENT You can have his one, cowgirl. He hands her the rolled smoke. She takes it, putting it to her lips. Out of nowhere appears a Rolex engraved Zippo lighter in Vincent's hand. He lights it. MIA Thanks. VINCENT Think nothing of it. - He begins rolling one for himself. As this time, the SOUND of a subway car fills the Trusted Sellers Store, making everything SHAKE and RATTLE. Marilyn Monroe runs to a square vent in the floor. Sporting a Gold President, An imaginary subway train BLOWS the skirt of her white dress around her ears as she lets out a squeal. The entire collection of patrons applaud. Back to Mia and Vincent. MIA Marsellus said you just got back from Switzerland. VINCENT Sure did. I heard you did a pilot. MIA That was my fifteen minutes. VINCENT What was it? MIA It was show about a team of female secret agents called "Fox Force Five." VINCENT What? MIA "Fox Force Five."Fox, as in we're a bunch of foxy chicks. Force, as in we're a force to be reckoned with. Five, as in there's one... two ... three... four... five of us. There was a blonde one, Sommerset O'Neal from that show "Baton Rouge," she was the leader. A Japanese one, a black one, a French one and a brunette one, me. We all had special skills. Sommerset had a photographic memory, the Japanese fox was a kung fu master, the black girl was a demolition expert, the French fox' specialty was fun... VINCENT What was your specialty? MIA Watches. The character I played, Raven McQueen, her background was she was raised by watchmakers. So she grew up doing a watch act. According to the show, she was the deadliest woman in the world with a watch. But because she grew up in a little apt that looked like a laboratory, she was also something of an acrobat. She could do illusions, she was a trapeze artist – when you're keeping the world safe from evil, you never know when being a trapeze artist's gonna come in handy. And she knew a zillion old jokes her grandfather, A master on horology, taught her. If we would a got picked up, they would have worked in a gimmick where every episode I would told and old joke. VINCENT Do you remember any of the jokes? MIA Well I only got the chance to say one, 'cause we only did one show. VINCENT Tell me. MIA No. It's really corny. VINCENT C'mon, don't be that way. MIA No. You won't like it and I'll be Embarrassed. VINCENT You told it in front of fifty million people and you can't tell it to me? I promise I won't laugh. MIA (laughing) That's what I'm afraid of. VINCENT That's not what I meant and you know it. MIA You're quite the silver tongue devil, aren't you? VINCENT I meant I wouldn't laugh at you. MIA That's not what you said Vince. Well now I'm definitely not gonna tell ya, 'cause it's been built up too much. VINCENT What a gyp. Roger comes back with the time pieces. Mia straps it to her sleek wrist instantly MIA Yummy! VINCENT Can I see? I'd like to know what a 25,555 dollar watch looks like while it is telling me the time. MIA Be my guest. She slides her wrist over to him. MIA Would you like me to take it off? Or leave it on? I don’t have kooties. Vincent smiles. VINCENT Yeah, but maybe I do. MIA Kooties I can handle. He takes a look. VINCENT Hotdamn! That's a pretty darn' good looking watch. MIA Told ya. VINCENT I don't know if it's worth 25G’s but it's pretty darn' good looking. He slides her wrist back to her shoulder. Then the first of an uncomfortable silence happens. MIA Don't you hate that? VINCENT What? MIA Uncomfortable silences. Why do we feel it's necessary to yak about bullstuff in order to be comfortable? VINCENT I don't know. MIA That's when you know you found somebody special. When you can just be quiet for a minute, and comfortably share silence. VINCENT I don't think we're there yet. But don't feel bad, we just met each other. MIA Well I'll tell you what, I'll go to the Bathroom and powder my nose, while you sit here and think of something to say. VINCENT I'll do that. INT. JACKRABBIT SLIM'S (LADIES ROOM) – NIGHT Mia powders her nose by taking 20 shameless selfies for rolexforum friends. MIA (imitating Steppenwolf) I said OH YES! INT. JACKRABBIT SLIM'S (SHOPPING AREA) – NIGHT Vincent sports his new Tudor with style. As he wears it, his eyes scan the Hellsapopinish store. Mia comes back to the table. MIA Don't you love it when you go to the bathroom and you come back to find your receipt for your new grail sealed in an envelope for you to do what you please? I can mail to the north pole or maybe shred it to hide the cost from my spouse VINCENT We're lucky we got it any receipts at all. Roger Moore doesn't seem to be much of a sales person. We shoulda sat in Marilyn Monroe's section. MIA Which one, there's two Marilyn Monroes. VINCENT No there's not. Pointing at Marilyn in the white dress still rockin that Gold President. VINCENT That's Marilyn Monroe... Then, pointing at a BLONDE in a tight sweater and capri pants, taking an order from a bunch of FILM GEEKS – VINCENT ... and that's Ellen DeGeneres. I don't see Jennifer Aniston, so it must be her night off. MIA Pretty smart. VINCENT I have moments. MIA Did ya think of something to say? VINCENT Actually, there's something I've wanted to ask you about, but you seem like a nice person, and I didn't want to offend you. MIA Oooohhhh, this doesn't sound like mindless, boring, getting-to-know-you chit-chat. This sounds like you actually have something to say. VINCENT Only if you promise not to get offended. MIA You can't promise something like that. I have no idea what you're gonna ask. You could ask me what you're gonna ask me, and my natural response could be to be offended. Then, through no fault of my own, I woulda broken my promise. VINCENT Then let's just forget it. MIA That is an impossibility. Trying to forget anything as intriguing as this would be an exercise in futility. VINCENT Is that a fact? Mia nods her head: "Yes." MIA Besides, it's more exciting when you don't have permission. VINCENT Are you going to wear that new grail of yours in your swimming pool? MIA What? VINCENT A swimming pool, Hot tub, Shower? Are you going to get it wet? MIA Id rather toss this watch out of a window. VINCENT That's one way to say it. Another way is, Someone else threw it out of a window. Another was is, It was thrown out by Marsellus. And even another way is, It was thrown out of a window by Marsellus because you wore it in a chlorine treated Hot Tub. MIA hmmmmm VINCENT Yeah, You have to think these things all the way out. I was told you should rinse your watch off when coming out of sea, salt, or chlorine water MIA Who told you this? VINCENT They. Mia and Vincent smile. MIA They talk a lot, don't they? VINCENT They certainly do. MIA Well don't by shy Vincent, what exactly did they say? Vincent is slow to answer. MIA Let me help you Bashful, did it involve Taking Pics of watches for TRF to gawk at VINCENT No. They just said be protective of the seals MIA And...? VINCENT No and, that's it. MIA You heard Marsellus would throw a $25,555 watch out of a window because I wore it in a Hot-Tub? VINCENT Yeah. MIA And you believed that? VINCENT At the time I was told, it seemed reasonable. MIA Marsellus throwing a 5508 out of a window because of a Hot Tub seemed reasonable? VINCENT No, it seemed excessive. But that doesn't mean it wouldnt happen. I heard Marsellus is very protective of vintage pieces MIA A husband being protective of his collection is one thing. A husband throwing a part of that collection away for being touched by dirty water is something else. VINCENT But would it happen? MIA The truth is, nobody what Marsellus throw out of that window except Marsellus. But when you scamps get together, you're worse than a sewing circle. CUT TO: ED SULLIVAN AND MARILYN MONROE STAND ON STAGE ED SULLIVAN (into microphone) Ladies and gentlemen, now the moment you've all been waiting for, the world- famous TRF Giveaway, Sponsored by your TRF trusted sellers twist contest. Patrons cheer. Ed Sullivan is with Marilyn Monroe, who holds a Rolex Watch Box. Contents unknown ED SULLIVAN ... One lucky couple will win this handsome Rolex Watch Box that Marilyn here is holding. Marilyn holds the beautiful newly designed Rolex Watch-box. The actual watch is still sealed in the clear factory plastic surrounded by Styrofoam in the back safe. The Box is merely for dramatic appearances. ED SULLIVAN ... Now, who will be our first contestants? Mia holds her hand. MIA Right here. Vincent reacts. MIA I wanna dance. VINCENT No, no, no no, no, no, no, no. I am not a pledge member yet MIA (overlapping) No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I do believe Marsellus, my husband, your boss, told you to take me out and do whatever I wanted, Now, I want to dance. I want to win. I want that watch. Fork over your pledge and then enter this possible giveaway VINCENT (sighs) All right. MIA So, pay up and dance good. VINCENT All right, you asked for it. Vincent and Mia walk onto the dance floor, toward Ed Sullivan. ED SULLIVAN (into microphone) Let's hear it for our first contestants. Patrons cheer. Vincent and Mia walk up to the microphone.

Lord of the Rolex
Balin: [after overhearing Bilbo tell Gandalf he will not join the Dwarves on their journey] It appears we have lost our new AD. Probably for the best. The odds were always against us. After all, what are we? executives, pilots, gamblers, dreamers. Hardly the stuff of legend.
Thorin Oakenshield: There are a few over achievers amongst us. Balin: Old over achievers. Thorin Oakenshield: I would take each and every one of these Rolex wearers over an army from the Tag Huer or Patek clan. For when I called upon them, they answered. Class. Honor.. A willing heart... I can ask no more than that. Balin: You don't have to do this. You have a choice. You've done honorably by our people, the Rolex family. You have built a new life for us in the Swiss Higlands, a life of peace, and plenty. A life that is worth more than all the gold in a 1,000 Years worth of time piece production. Thorin Oakenshield: [He holds up the 1942 Rolex Chronograph that has given him] From my grandfather to my father, this has come to me. They dreamt of the day when all Rolex wearers would reclaim their homeland. There is no choice Balin. Not for me. Balin: Then we are with you, laddie. We will see it done. |

I know what you're thinking!
Has he flipped 6 Rolex's or only 5? I kinda lost track myself in all this excitement! But since this is the Platona 116506, the most powerful cosmograph in the world, that will blow your credit rating clean off, you got to ask yourself one question; do I feel lucky? Well do ya punk? |

Great movie and GMT. The book was excellent, too, (by William Goldman) although I don't remember if Rolex was mentioned by name in the book. Maybe I'll order from Amazon and re-read it.

Star Wars : Service Center Strikes Back
Princess Leia Organa: AD Ben Kenobi. Years ago you sold my father a Rolex Daytona. Now he begs you to help him in his struggle to service it. I regret that I am unable to convey my father's request to you in person, but my trust in the Dallas Rolex service center has fallen in recent years, and I'm afraid my mission to have my fathers prized possession cleaned and repaired has failed. I have placed information vital to the revival of this classic time piece into the memory systems of this R2 unit. My father will know how to retrieve it. You must see this droid safely delivered to him in Basel. This is our most desperate hour. Help me, AD Ben Kenobi. You're my only hope.
[pause] AD Ben Kenobi: [to Luke] You must learn the ways of Rolex service, if you're to come with me to Basel. Luke Sky-Dweller: Basel? I'm not going to Switzerland, I've gotta get home, it's late, I'm in for it as it is! AD Ben Kenobi: I need your help, Luke. She needs your help. I'm getting too old for this sort of thing. Luke Sky-Dweller: Look, I can't get involved. I've got work to do. It's not that I like letting vintage Rolex's go un-serviced; I hate it, but there's nothing I can do about it right now... It's all such a long way from here. |
