And they have several canteens of water. You pull off your gold Rolex and the man takes it and gives you his camel, his wife, his AK-47 and all but one of his canteens. You go your way, he goes his way...win win.
I must say that's a very optimistic view of how the barter system will work and deals go down in the event of Armageddon when one party (armed, with a bunch of essential stuff) comes across another party (unarmed, with nothing except some shiny gold jewelry).

Just wondering, how do you reckon that guy got his beautiful, his camel, and all that water in the first place?

More likely, after the encounter he'll be riding away in the desert sporting some new bling while you stand there there still afoot, still waterless, still babe-less, but now watchless as well.

I mean, I'm certainly no wacky prepper but even I can see a huge, obvious flaw with your scenario.

Most people would wear this to make a statement than as a tool.

That said, I would never wear one. The white gold looks ok though.

Both are fantastic. My Nautilus bracelet is sleeker and silkier, but the glidelock clasp on the Sub is more useful, and gives the watch a nice luxurious heft.

This Patek is the best looking watch ever made. Sorry for the drama but it’s absolutely stunning...

I love the LN every time I have the opportunity to try it on! Beautiful watch that just feels so good on the wrist. It will find its way into my collection at some point ...

If you truly stopped caring what other people think of you, you really shouldn't be so easily offended. I wouldn't get worked up over what other members here ask. Chill...don't let 'em get to you.

There's a beautiful simplicity with the Subby. It is a design masterpiece. Now add gold and it goes from a 10 to a 10+

Like controversy! I do agree, could someone please share some pictures of them diving in a sub as opposed to more wrist shots (while I agree these pictures are stunning) ...
