Afraid you have very little knowledge about Rolex or about the history of Rolex Watch Company in general.Bracelets were made in the UK the USA and even Mexico at one time.And if you do not know anything about the subject of said bracelet why reply.And the main reason they were made in these countries was get over the tax imports etc.

But in all the rolex books I have read, I never came across this outsourcing....it is news to me .... but I have to see it documented somewhere to believe it, otherwise it is a red flag ...

Cannot understand why what difference would it make where it was made.But some people wear a watch and not only a brand and at one time a lot of the gold cases and bracelets were made in England.

I will suggest unless you have any knowledge on the posters subject, or anything about the subject topic. About Rolex or otherwise if you dont know for sure don't reply with your negative replies.

Now if you can find it documented that bracelets were made somewhere else othre than sitwzerland, then that would seal the case that I rushed to judgement ..... but it has to be documented .....

I had no ill intentions ... it is jst that somethings raised my eyebrows ....

thank you ... "

it's not that you were wrong, you were so wrong, with such arrogance and rudeness!

Now you want documents to prove what others, who clearly know more are saying... do you not see how your posts sound and look to us?!

Just let Mike enjoy his find and discuss it with people who know what they are talking about. I don't think he needs to prove it's value or authenticity to you ("now if you can find it documented...")... he isn't trying to sell it to you or take a loan from you.

Well said!

Great thread- the post about the gent with four fingers was when I finally split my coffee on the keyboard!

TheVTCGuy · 7 February 2010, 04:45 AM

OK! I think it's time we all joined hands and sang... come on... everybody now... don't be shy.....

"Kum By Ya My Lord!... Kum by Ya..."

Mike, that is an extremely interesting band! But.... I'm sorry to tell you it's completey worthless. TELL YOU WHAT I'M GOING TO DO.. I'll send you 10 bucks for it right now, sight unseen, so it won't be a total loss... Oh heck Mike, you're a nice guy, I'll even pay for the postage...

No, no need to thank me... just trying to help out a fellow TRFer...

Nobody found it yet ? It is indeed Birmingham and it was made by E. J. Clewley and Co .

Mosco · 7 February 2010, 04:54 AM

If you count four fingers, which one is in the middle?

rolexsubdate, I don't usually make comments on other posts but I think what people have a problem with is the way you attacked the OP. It's obviously ok to disagree with someone but I don't think folks here on TRF like to be "interrogated". But that's just my opinion.

Thanks Justin, you took the words outta my mouth......Yes STOP!!!!!!! I have said this before about you and your somewhat skewed opinion on just about everything posted here on this forum. You have nothing nice ever to say about anybody or anything and are quick to pop you little nose in and make some sort of asinine comment. KEEP THEM TO YOURSELF! No one wants to listen to your little rants.

TheVTCGuy · 7 February 2010, 05:19 AM

Nice Pic Mike.... too bad it's worthless.... 10 bucks! 10 bucks right now sight unseen! What do you say?
