Use a site like 'archive.today' to archive the link and share in that way, thus starving them of clicks and revenue. When the clicks stop, they'll stop writing these junk stories.

Here's the archived link. You can click it a million times and Fratello won't make a cent.

Makes sense, thanks for the info and link... I'm not affiliated with the site in any way, just thought it was entertaining garbage...I tried to update the original post with the link but it's been too long.

.... Just tell people they aren't available and everyone would want one. Better yet, say they are a good "investment"... Hahahaha

I quite like the coke…oh wait. That’s the only one he didn’t come up with on his own, Rolex did.

I personally like the black/purple and black/red.

I think nicknames for watches is ridiculous.

And if Rolex came out with any of these people here would be tripping over themselves to get one, so please.

I've said it before, but Rolex could put a dog biscuit on a rubber band, and as long as it said "Rolex" on it somewhere, I'd sell!

By the way, the one they're describing as "Vimto" (purple and red), I thought that was just a picture of an early BLRO!
