I just spilled my Sprite drink all over myself! Is this question for real? Show her pictures of Mike's (moderator) collection and report back! Before you do report back you know that the Pepsi is an iconic Rolex piece right?

Yep. In my case, I'd even buy one if my boyfriend hated it if that's what I wanted.

If my girlfriend said it was ugly- yes for sure. If my wife said it is ugly than no!

My wife and mother in law thought it was funny Eddie!
One woman is plenty enough for me! Although my wife did say if I could find someone else to pitch in and help take care of me sign her up!
