Rolex Haiku

A haiku to my Pepsi GMT that is out for service. My Tag Heuer Classic 2000 and Casio G-Shock just aren't cutting it.
________

Pepsi GMT
At the AD for service
I miss two time zones

My 79090 is in for service right now.

-----------------

My Tudor Sub stopped
RSC repairs it now
Hello, new mainspring!

------------------

Well, I suck at this.

But my GMT still works.

I just sold my GMTIIC and my 14060 is in service so no rolex for me. My speedy and two seiko dive watches have been keeping me happy, but not like a rolex!

I always thought 5/7/5 was the correct haiku format, but you learn something new every day.

A Haiku contest??? Does the winner take a brand new ceramic bezel GMT-Master II? Awesome. Here are my three entries!

1)
auto Rolex winds

smartly, smartly, tick
 tick tick
gold and stainless, hands

2)
mild Omega fools
you are surely no Rolex
misshapen brown gnome

3)
jealous mimic gems
replica, cherries snigger
chubby nameless fake
