Or, when you're sweating over a hot grill, front filthy and stained with cow blood and fish sauce, shoes covered in mayo. The smoke is rolling up your chest and over your head, your arm hairs are singed and your eyes are watering as you perfectly top your 500th burger for the day, you look down and see your Explorer and realize "Yep, I own a Rolex just because I want to."

I guess we all have our own little moments.

[Uncle-AJ]

Sorry guys I only have a TT sub so can't join in your fantasies.

A big warm welcome BIGANTSPREZ213, I guess you own a Pressie.

Don't own any handmade suits, but I have tons of golf slacks and golf shirts, and sometimes I see such bad golf swings, they throw divots all over me and one of watches, Rolex or other.

Welcome to TRF, hope to see ya around.

...or you walk into Mansor's all ready to buy a new Rolex and you spend more time checking out the cleavages around you rather than the bling-bling!!

A big welcome to TRF, Bigant.....(surely, you must have a simple first name, pal!! - makes life easier for all of us )

Cheers - JJ

Ah, the old three-point landing: feet-arse-head.

Don't forget doing an FOD walk down the runway later and chuckling at the remains of a TAG-Heuer worn by some diver who's come along for the ride.

Bloody hell (pardon my French), stories like these are right up my alley! Great stuff. I like the ‘beach bum’ appearance myself. Picture me like this: yellow ¾ Tommy Hilfiger slacks, very, very old Calvin Klein T and Reef flip-flops. Great tan and for the piece de resistance the 16610 on left wrist. Cocktail in right hand of course. Ha, ha, ha!

Welcome aboard, Anthony!

As unegalitarian as it seems, there is a certain amount of pleasure to be derived from going to a sales rep who has that perspective and asking, "Is that all you've got?".

[Gedanken]

Well, Frans, you know what I'm talking about. Unless I'm meeting clients, I don't bother dressing up, and some observant people get a bit of a jump when they see the SD sitting on my wrist.

Hmm - is that UN beret yours?

Yep, it is: Lebanon 1979-1980 (Dutchbatt).


Take care,

Whoa, rough territory, Frans. Glad you got out all right!

Well, apart from two wooden legs, a glass eye, two hearing aids, a hook for a left hand, a metal plate in my head, shrapnel in my back and the fact that I’m completely bonkers, I’m quite all right. Thanks for asking!


No, nothing really serious happened then, and it's all a long time ago. But it was, BTW, the first time that I tried to land a Rolex. A Sub that had to be ordered in Beirut. It never happened.


Take care,


Frans.
