What's the most hardcore thing you ever did for a rolex?

SPACE-DWELLER · 5 February 2008, 11:24 AM

Investing my hard-earned money on Rolex watches where I could have spent the money on for example paying out my mortgage.

That's real dedication Bo !

SPACE-DWELLER · 5 February 2008, 11:30 AM

Thanks! Well, giving up smoking to get your first Rolex as you did was awesome! Respect for that!

Thanks a lot. Well i didn't give up smoking only but let's say that quitting smoking was my prime motivator

leethal21 · 5 February 2008, 11:38 AM

Me too on the smoking guys. It has been 4 weeks today and my TT black sub is getting closer!!!

The problem is each time I see that Platty on this site the TT sub just might not be the one!!

GoldenBear · 5 February 2008, 12:51 PM

Waited for 7 years until I could afford it...

Hang in there, Rick, it'll get easier and the Rolex will be that much more appreciated.

Coastal1 · 5 February 2008, 01:09 PM

Not hardcore......but...I am waiting on my Black Bezel GMT to come in any day. I had it sent to my office and we are closed for Mardi Gras so I went riding through the neighborhood today looking for the mail man. I was hoping he had my watch! I could not find him..... so I went to the post office to have it tracked and found out it has not reached New Orleans yet. Man the wait is killing me!

krattzz · 5 February 2008, 01:10 PM

My siding is the most ugly yellow you would see. It's from the 70's and the last time we had a wind storm a piece blew off...lol.

No worries, on Sat after I left the AD's ordering the GMT my tax guy called and told me I would be getting a hugh refund...see how things work? I am always being taken care of:)

Relax all of us here have been through this procedure. Just be patiend a bit more so that you can enjoy your watch

TempoKing · 5 February 2008, 02:10 PM

When I found my first ...ever...6239...still hanging from the torned arm of my enemy.
Hardcore ????
Hardly...
Just left the arm and kept the Rolex

JBat · 5 February 2008, 02:10 PM

Me, I just waited 46 years before picking up my first!

Really, for most these watches are indulgences and the money could probably be put to more practical uses, but I derive so much pleasure from wearing a quality mechanical like a Rolex that I don't care.

Life is short and you can't take it with you. Live a little.

Joey_V · 5 February 2008, 02:13 PM

I went to undergrad for 4 years, then medical school for another 4 years.... before I finally got my Rollie. Glad I did though!

Good job on the quitting of tobacco, Velitsko!

Orchi · 5 February 2008, 02:49 PM

Err buddy Frostie...Orchi maybe considering to...

1. robbing a bank...to get enough dough to satisfy Orchi's hunger for more Rolex
2. with absolutely nothing on except wearing a Rolex...n having an outdoor shower with little Orchis...in the garden of Orchi's wooden hut...
3. making love to wifey whilst hanging upside down from the top of a chandelier...wearing only the Rolex.

JohnEaton · 5 February 2008, 02:51 PM

Orchi has chandelier in wooden hut?

Why Orchi not have more Rolexes?

Orchi - you are killing us with your posts. I just woke up my wife when I read your posts and burst out laughing. Keep your wisdom flowing. Thanks man!

ROLEX MAN · 5 February 2008, 03:43 PM

I have done an oil-change wearing a s/s daytona,

wearing it was better than putting it on the greasy work bench!

nothing happened, but would not do it again!

TARDIS · 5 February 2008, 03:56 PM

I gave up booze for 12 months to save for my first Rolex.

Really didn't drink for a year...Doc's orders.

ErikAalto · 5 February 2008, 05:27 PM

Got married.

(Wife gave me Datejust as wedding present)

Baptistman · 5 February 2008, 06:49 PM

First time round, spending money I knew I could not afford. palms getting sweaty when I think of it.

Erix · 5 February 2008, 07:24 PM
