Funny comment at work today..

[spinn74]

"Nice fake watch. Everyone knows Rolex doesn't make a green Sub!"

Made me smile.

[Lanfor]

Oh dear

[mjclark32]

Surprised he/she knew it was a sub but didn't know about the lv. Maybe a former wis?

Oh well, it's probably better they think it is fake then.

[Art 1]

I had something similar once with mine, at a Rolex AD.

[xhype]

You should tell him that's why you don't have one.

Made me smile.

i would have said "no?, thats funny.....rolex has one on their website"

than smiled

Well I know it's been out a while but even Rolex fans don't keep up with new stuff. When I got my DSSD I had 2 comments about it being fake. One because Rolex didn't make a watch that big. On guy told me it was a fake of a prototype that wasn't released yet (I kinda understand this because I had only had the watch a month and was the first one my AD got in so it was very new.) The first guy had a Rolex on. Remember we as a TRF community are a very small percentage of Rolex customers. Many don't follow Rolex as closely as we do. That's why I don't make comments like that.

if someone has the nerve to call my watch fake therefore insinuating i am a phony i will call them out. the individual could have said " i didnt know rolex made a green rolex"

their are some situations where i just laugh and nod 'whatever' but this would not be one of them.

Well lets not get your underwear all in a wad now. Never said it was right but if that really insults you and speaks about who you are as a person you take things way too seriously. I would say a lot (if not most) on trf would want others to think their watch was fake. Things like that are best left alone in public and in the work place.

Jonathon,

It's not green gold. The dial is aluminium with a coating.

[FeelingTheBlues]

So Rolex makes a green Sub eh? That's interesting...

*taking notes for a further conversation with Rolex enthusiasts: Rolex = Green*

[MK25toLife]

A guy at my old job said my GMT-Master II was fake, he was the most condescending guy in the office, I was so close to punching him but verbally abused him instead

[Oyster Junkie]

The hell with the haters. All that matters is that YOU know the watch is authentic. I bought my LV-C for MY pleasure, not that of others.

[LightOnAHill]

I'd just smile and say, well, everybody is mistaken.

[satman40]

Many will make a comment about a 2 word watch being more expensive, at least they looked.

Everyone want to feel superior, and you are a crook if you have any more money than me...

We must learn to say the Lord has bless us with good fortune, Worked many a years for Jimmy and Tammy Fay..

God Bless.

You'd think a wis would know some proper etiquette.

I pity the fool.

Oh well, I would also have just let it be... who cares at the end of the day IMO You know and thats all that matters

[zeuloa]

I've thought about this one and would probably politely, but a bit sarcastically respond something to this effect:

"Wow, you must really know your watches. Thanks for letting me know! Say, I would like to buy another... something a bit different.... What do you think, maybe a GMT II, or an Explorer... I've also thought about looking at vintage, maybe a DRSD, or a Paul Newman... What would you recommend? Also thought about Patek or FP Journe..."

And to top it off: "what are you expecting to see this year from Basel?"

I would cut out some of the above and ask him his thoughts about the Hulk model that everyone seems to rave about...

[Rsvrider]

Send him/her an email or note from Thomas Gray's poem, Ode on a Distant Prospect of Eton College (1742): "Where ignorance is bliss, 'tis folly to be wise."

I probably would have said, "yeah it's just a mock up Rolex has on their website. I liked the look of it so I had my bootlegger make it for me".

That's one more Hulk for all of us!!

[RX0-Unicorn]

Before 2010, Rolex didn't make a green dial Sub. Remind him that we are in 2012.

Funny, I was at work today and this guy said that my SS Daytona is nothing. He has a Platinum Daytona that is a little bigger than mine and it is called Cosmograph.

Maybe he just got the Daytona 2 from the Baselworld 2012. LOL
