That's right, guys.....you want a tool, I'll show you a tool!!

Now...

A set of pliers to pull that scumbag's teeth out with....that's a tool!!

A wrench to "staighten" his nose.......now that's a tool!!

A hammer to crack his skull with......now that's a tool!!

A shovel to dig up a grave.....now that's a tool!!

A Rolex needs tender, loving care and, above all, UTILITY!!

You utilise its functions.

You utilise its features.

You utilise a Rolex, with a lot of love and adoration!!

End of story - UTILISE your damn Rolex - for heaven's sake don't bash it into the ground like you would do some cheap tool!!

Cheers - JJ

You got that right JJ, fully agree with you on this

Wish some people who own the Submariner of all watches would be concerned less of taking it in salt water and just make sure the crown is screwed down and rinse it off with fresh water after.

Point taken, however.

PacNW · 29 June 2008, 06:51 AM

No worries JJ, Platty on left arm, Wusthof or Henckels in right for the tool...besides that I don't think you could do a julienne with the watch!

sorry j.j.,but when you really need to know what time to be gone from a certain ladies house before someone else gets home...then the damn watch is a tool!!

JJ, Show us. I got my jeweler's loupe on and just sent you a blue diamond shaped pill. Remember, sheep talk!

Andad · 29 June 2008, 12:18 PM

JJ, you need to take Zemina out for dinner and have some quiet time.

SPACE-DWELLER · 30 June 2008, 12:38 AM

I would say that the designation "Tool Watch" is not to be taken too literally.

See this quote from a article that Mike posted recently:

"Rene-Paul Jeanneret was one of the most important executives at Rolex Geneva in the company's most fruitful period, the 1950s and 60s. His official title was that of Public Relations Director; but he was so much more than that, he involved himself in many aspects of the company's activities including inventing watches; although his name appears on none of the Rolex patents from that period. An active sportsman in many fields including skiing and the newly introduced skin diving; in the early 1950s he came up with the concept of "tool" watches. This was the idea of a watch specifically designed for practitioners of an individual sport or activity. The results of this concept appeared on the Rolex stand at the 1954 Basle Watch Fair in three forms; the Explorer for sportsmen, the Submariner for divers and the Turn-O-Graph for businessmen. The watches all proved to be great successes and so it was no surprise when the world's largest airline Pan-Am wanted a watch that would enable their pilots to keep track of time in two locations; it was to Jeanneret that they turned. "
