Yep, it's a real watch.

Funny the Rolex is the only watch I have never been asked about.

GinGinD · 20 April 2009, 11:14 AM

I've only been asked once and it was by a jewelry repair business owner for whom I string pearls and whom I've known for several years. I just laughed and said "I don't wear fake anything."

Only three other people have ever even noticed my watch. One said, "Nice watch. Is it a Seiko?" The other two said, "Nice Rolex. Don't see too many midsizes."

I figure a tacky question deserves a tacky answer

I've been asked about the boobs more than the Rolex, believe it or not

A question about either is best brushed off with a "why in the world would you ask me something like that?"

If they persist, ("well, fake rolexes are everywhere...") then I might say, "I guess I'll just have to leave you to wonder."

However, I've never been asked.... about either thing!

Just answer "yes it's a fake white gold. It's stainless steel."

allanofcalifornia · 20 April 2009, 03:23 PM

Have a lot of people really been asked this question? It would seem rude to me if someone asked.

I usually respond "yes, it is" and go on about my business

That's probably because the perv is looking to see if you were stupid enough to say "Look their real, here feel them."

Could you share some snappy responses to the question: "Is your Rolex real"?

Ask your wife, she got it for me.

They say opposites attract, and you'd be amazed at how many times a real Rolex attracts fake boobs!

Unless your boobs are angled like Marty Feldman's eyes that question should not be asked! And if they ARE angled like that, then one should not even think it!

mfer · 21 April 2009, 06:20 AM

My response would be...
"Do I know you?"

or

"Do you know me?"

either would answer the question I think

Brunotheboxer · 21 April 2009, 06:30 AM

Someone: Is your Rolex real?

I was out with a colleague the other night and someone asked if his sub was real. He just casually replied: "Why don't you try take it from me and find out..." He's 6'7" and still has his sub.

I agree. I would never ask someone a question like that. Also, anyone who knows me wouldn't have to ask!

Great!

My answer I think would have been "do you think I´m a fake?"

But I think I switch to: "It´s a GMT II"

Brilliant.

And: Thanks!

P.S.: if I am asked "what watch is this", my Answer is:

"it´s a simple Stainless Swiss automatic watch."

The "automatic" is important. If you say "mechanical" "They" might think again, but "automatic" - that doesn´t ring a bell ... ( I assume, they think if you don´t have to wind the piece, it´s an "automatic" - and don´t differentiate that to "Quartz". )

Yes.

Exactly that.

In a "friendly" environment!

Those first three are very good.

jdrolltide3838 · 21 April 2009, 08:05 AM

21 year old wearing a SS Daytona, yeah I get that from time to time. It all depends on who Im talking to. Ive actually been asked by an AD if it was real, and my answer is "yeah I paid cash for it, would you like to see?" after he realizes what he's done Ill hand back his piece and walk out. If Im on campus, "ah I really dont know much about watches, my dad got it for me in China." If Im out of town in a place I dont know all so well, people see the pistol on my belt before my watch, so its never to much of an issue
