was sat eating breakfast in coral beach (butlins own cafe for residents) and a guy said
"nice rolex mate"
then his wife said
"did you get it from thailand like us?"

i replied with
"erm no! i got this from a jewellers in leeds"

his wife replied with
"well we payed £50 for this rolex in thailand and its just as good as yours"

i laughed
then turned round and finished my breakfast with my wife laughing at the look on my face

mmmmmmm
im laughing now but believe me i nearly choked on my fried eggs

Well, you were at Butlins!!

ijen0311 · 24 May 2009, 08:09 AM

I've had someone tell me the same thing (word for word, almost). The poor guy really thought he had a real Rolex from someone on the street corner in NY...

stnmikita · 24 May 2009, 09:40 AM

How incredibly rude!

If they truly believed it, how incredibly ignorant!

Hannibal Lecter would call them "free range rude". I call them Skegness Monsters, unfortunately they're allot more common place than the Lockness variety. Had you had pointed out that "you can't pass a replica down through the generations", they would've looked at you the same way a cat watches the TV, complete bewilderment.

I wore my trusty LV Sub to the Bogner Regis 'resort' last weekend, I don't think anyone recognised it.

SubmarinerMan · 24 May 2009, 09:49 AM

Its people like that that make me soooo mad!!

She probally thinks her husbands fake has more history about it than a real Rollie!

Lol-x · 24 May 2009, 10:08 AM

Oh man what can I say

Something like 'ignorance is bliss'.

Well ignorance can be blissful, my ex just collected the kids and clocked my new sub. She happily thinks she can add "cheapskate fraudster" to my many failings. Suits me!

Shaggy, the problem with people who buy a $50 Fake Rolex is that they have the IQ of a wombat.

I would not worry or choke over it.

gpateesq · 24 May 2009, 01:21 PM

Are you sure the wombat's IQ is that low?

True. I think I did overhear a wombat telling a story about some woman he ran into asking if [the wombat] bought his fur coat on a trip to Thailand...

bodybump · 24 May 2009, 01:09 PM

thats was hillarious...they bought a fake one and thought everyone buy fakes like them hahahha

PNR001 · 24 May 2009, 02:02 PM

I am sure you complimented on her fake diamond ring without telling us.....

mretzloff · 24 May 2009, 02:17 PM

That was rude but I'd put up with that in exchange for the good laugh.

Maybe they were envious of his watch, so they make a segway in order to brag about their trip to Thailand. I mean who the hell comes out of no where to say shit like that? In no aspect is it ok for a random stranger to walk up to someone and ask if their watch is real.

Bisquitlips · 24 May 2009, 02:25 PM

That would have been a very good time cut off about a 4 pound juicy fart. The kind that hangs in the air for about 10 minutes due to heavy oil content!

ROLEX MAN · 24 May 2009, 02:36 PM

Think about re-sale value!

Chris B · 24 May 2009, 03:58 PM

I once spent 6 weeks in Skegness one Sunday afternoon

sub-zero · 24 May 2009, 04:43 PM

The nice thing about having a real Rolex is that you can use in Thailand to get out of jail if you had to. Try that with a fake.

Straight · 25 May 2009, 06:58 AM

You were at Butlins, what did you expect? Oxbridge graduates and Rolex aficionados? :o

Jimbits76 · 24 May 2009, 06:26 PM

Meh leave them to it.

In the rave days of the early mid 90's I once wole up in Skegness with no money, no ID and no idea how I got there.

Those were the days!

Me too! Ah, the good old days... shame I can't remember most of 'em.

What a rude git though. And his wife probably had a fake LV bag!

Singslinger · 24 May 2009, 07:21 PM

You should have said "From the looks of it, you paid 50 quid too much!''

Xenophon · 24 May 2009, 08:31 PM

Butlins in Skegness ? That's gone up market then

Chozn1 · 24 May 2009, 10:05 PM

I would've been fine until the "and it's just as good as yours" part. They would have a received an education in both manners and Rolex quality on the spot whether they wanted it or not.
