I only own two

Rolexes (a Datejust and a Sea Dweller). Does that mean I am of poor means?? I don't live in a public housing project or the ghetto.

Welcome to the forum........nice entrance!!

I can think of at least a couple of gazillion unfortunates out there who'd be happy to own ONE Rolex.

With TWO in your bag, consider yourself a king!!

This is nothing to be ashamed of... I have heard that some get by with a single Rolex......

..............Perhaps more are in your future.............

Poor is a relative term. What are you comparing it too?

I wouldn't worry. Pretty much anyone in the developed world can own a Rolex these days. Plenty of people do who i would class as poor, i.e. everything on finance.

Welcome to TRF! Great group of folks here.

The day your "status" on this forum starts being evaluated/determined by how many Rolexes you own will be the day you won't see me hanging around any more.

I only own one right now too, but I would be lying if I said that the thought of wanting to wear another one at the same time didn't at least cross my mind for a second. IF that were to happen of course.

Prob more like a fleeting though re-occurring thought... maybe just around the house...
