It kind of reminds me of "show them to me" by Rodney Carrington

Rings true...

Ok, Here is what I am thinking. All the members of TRF email me there favorite few watch photos. I'll put a slideshow to music and we all can enjoy...

BTW - The music that comes to my mind is "Lady Gaga" - "Beautiful, Dirty and Rich" with a bunch of sport watches in water, dirt and grime, but I am just strange....

Great choices. I'm a Beethoven fan, too.

It's always hard to pick favorites from the symphonies, but if you're going to include the 7th, then the 4th is also a must, as they are so thematically and rhythmically related.

From my own perspective, I'd I think that that 9th Symphony and the Fantasia for piano, orchestra, and chorus would be excellent choices, too.

Several songs come to mind:

First, 'The Rolex Commercial Theme'- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShhBQT8ABf4


Second, 'Rolex Sweep' by Skepta: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnar90VEwe4


Third, something classical like 'The Prelude from Bach's Cello Suite No. 1':

I remember listening to it before owning a Rolex and wished for one so much. Now I can truly enjoy the song

I think of the intro for 60 minutes . . . tick tick tick tick tick tick

Or this:

I'm gonna take you home
I won't do you no harm, no
You've got to be all mine, all mine
