GMT Rolex in the Ed Brown ad

[areyes926]

The is ad about quality not trying to impress because of the Rolex watch. It is comparing the quality of Ed Brown 1911 to a fine Rolex watch.

Why do I remember reading that he was wearing a Rolex Explorer in one of the books?

In my opinion guns and watches go together and i ve taken many pics with my guns and my watches.


they are both my hobbies. I love watches and i love guns.

Whats not to like about them as pieces of art?

Most men love cars, guns and watches! so its natural to advertise guns with wages in my opinion.

Thanks all for the posts and understanding that the ad was to show the high quality of Rolex was also shown and used in advertising of other fine high quality items.These are things that most of us also enjoy like fine guns.Ed Brown Excutive Carry and a GMT go together well.

I thank all those that came in support of my thread and posted,I do feel I am among friends and fellow collectors.
It is sad that one very narrow minded member chose to call others "idots".An apology is in order but doubtfull given the posters tone and lack of class.

"idots" ??
Explaining myself obviously isn't enough for you is it ?? Now you start to call me narrow minded and classless.
I refuse to waste anymore time answering your comments.
And to clear things up. YES I DO THINK YOU ARE AN IDIOT. Not because you own a gun..... Just because you're an idiot .
End of discussion. You are a waste of my time and energy.

I am generally not quick to take offense but did find the original poster's comment pretty insulting. Not really a big deal though, as it's easy to trade digs on a internet forum and is really meaningless. I for one appreciate the connection between fine mechanical items, be it a Rolex or an Ed Brown 1911 (although I prefer the Les Baer for my money) or whatever.

Way out of line and reported as it should be.Your low class narrow minded posts and insults are not appreciated nor will I tolorate them.

Does putting that gun beside a Rolex make it more desirable to you ?? I think that would be idiotic ??
At what point did I refer to trying to take your gun away ?? Wowww Nelly.... Take your finger off the trigger

I hope you and your "piece" have a long and happy life together

Well since we're sharing assessments of others let me add that I KNEW you were a twit one line into your first post. Who gives a crap what you think of guns or watches for that matter.

Moderators, a suspension is in order.


Why can't you see the simple and logical connection between the craftsmanship of Rolex and Ed Brown custom 45s that the ad seeks to convey? As an owner of MANY custom 45s I must say that my Ed Brown Kobra Carry is a first class pistol.

If you have a problem with guns why don't just stay out of thread rather than p*ssing people off with your inflamatory remarks?

Well guys this thread is now closed before it gets out of hand, and I remind you this is the Rolex watch forum and not a gun forum.There are plenty of forums to discuss guns etc this is a watch forum.
