What did he pay for it? If it's only $10, then he got a good deal. But if he paid real Rolex dollars for it, he will be very unhappy when he finds out it's worth only $10.

A fool and his money often part company.

O well, as long as it's his money.

WOW! I cannot believe that you made good on that bet! Good for him for paying up...that's GOT to be the easiest 2000 you've EVER made. If he's got the cash to throw around like that, he probably has more than enough to buy a new Rollie.

As Rawhyde so eloquently puts it: "A fool and his money are some party." I think the poor guy deserves help getting a discount on a Sub or SD, especially after this lashing. Or a clownmaster at least...

You said it dude! Back in the good ol' days, we used to get into situations like that, but life has become more (much more) boring and sedate as it trundles along....

PS Even that obvious raisin sac doesn't deserve a Clownmaster! Those are reserved for a select few....

hehe last tiem i checked my yachtmaster doesnt look like that.
oh well u gotta give the watch a credit for being versatile .....
it has the red lettering of yacht master
it has the look of a sea dweller or sub
and finally...the font style of the numbers on the bezel is like those on the old GMT

it's a rep watch for all models
