Guess so. Friday I took my son to our AD to have the band on his new Air King sized. I mentioned to the store mgr the new LV's nick name we'd given it on the forum. She had to work hard to stifle her laugh. She did agree it's quite appropriate.

You do realize that if you shower while wearing it you have to use Irish Spring or Palmolive dish soap ....................

Just my opinion, do not want to hurt some one feelings.

I kind of think the o/p started the thread kind of as a hidden way to show his disdain for the new LV. It is going to be the kind of watch that people will either dislike or like.

I have a pretty good idea of what the OP was thinking when he started the thread....... I'm pretty sure that he was joking around about the fact that someone was complaining that there were too many threads on the new all green LV... and figured he'd lighten up the mood a bit with some levity.

Or at least that's what he TOLD ME he was thinking. But you may know him better than I do.......

If it turns dark brown, it will be known as the Patrizzi LV and be more valuable!

I kind of figured it was tongue in cheek. Problem is explaining our quaint phrases to someone from across the pond that may be using a translator of sorts. Thus what you or under stand as the o/p pulling someones leg might not be understood as such by someone in Europe.

If you are going to shower with a hulk just don't drop the soap.

Moderators lock this thread and ban the op

He's insulted all of Europe, and hasn't shown the appropriate gravitas required by a horological examination of the new LV.

I rest my case.
