Amazon.com Rolex Reviews LOL

It's amazing how bitter people are who can't afford a watch like Rolex. So much is revealed about people in these reviews...for your viewing pleasure...

Just trash talk, but makes for an entertaining read.

There are many people who have an issue with luxury goods. They like to squawk. Class envy.

Too many much more interesting coffee reads from knowledgeable members to worry about this rubbish.

Selling our home, first born, internal organs and our cars to get our Rolex? That's no news we all do that here on the forum right? Especially for a Grail like the Platona. Except for Tom he sold his Rolex to buy a car.

It amazes me that people would take the time out of their day to write such a long well thought out BS review. I wish I had that much time on my hands. Then again, living in my parents basement would afford me that free time! They've got this whole life thing figured out. We would be wise to listen!

We have to realize a large percentage of the population thinks we're nuts for spending car money on a watch.

I remember reading reviews on Amazon for the AP survivor, they were much more amusing.

Seems to be a place where people talk about what they have lost or are willing to lose to get a watch.

Seems just like it is; a series of spews by people who think their vomit is clever. It's mostly in fun and I'm certain they love to hear themselves pontificate.

Heres one of them

Couldn't survive without it
Customer rating 5.0/5.0
February 8, 2014 By Maserati Matt
56 out of 69 found this helpful

I bought this watch for one reason, to survive offshore. It's obvious.
When my 120,500 foot yacht sank after hitting an endangered reef outside of Fiji, I knew I was in a bad situation. I could have saved my 40,000 man crew, but I had a Phil Collins moment and didn't, they all drowned.
Ironically I met up with a bunch of plane crash survivors, turned out to be the characters from the show lost. So as they're sitting there improvising survival plans, I just laugh.
With this Audemars watch, I simply hit the survival function, and I spawned my own Zodiac boat and putted away, leaving them to die alone and saddened.
The only problem was I contracted scurvy and had to give myself constant saltwater enemas, which sucked. They forgot the nutritional function in this survival watch.... so I then was forced to kill a whole gang of baby seals for food and used their tears for hydration.
Long story short, if you're an extreme survivalist, you will need this watch. I've climbed everest naked, dived in volcanic eruptions, scuba dived the marinas trench, and base jumped from the moon, all unscathed.
It's that good.

They can't afford one, they don't get it, a watch is a watch....NOT!!!

Rolex is a worldwide currency on its own, and I'm not in it for investment, I buy for the pure pleasure of wearing an amazing mechanical achievement

It's not just a Rolex. It's a big house in a fancy neighborhood, a really nice car, exotic vacations, etc. You can work hard and make sacrifices, or whine and cry about not having fancy stuff. I bet they would wear a Rolex if it was given to them!!!

Amazon seem to attract spoof reviews. Under no circumstances should you ever read their reviews on Veet hair removal products. No please just don't
