Daytona encounter on a Plane....
So... I'm on a cross country flight yesterday, JFK to LAX. I notice one of the (female) flight attendants is wearing a Daytona. I only got a couple glimpses but thought it was a SS and looked very new. When I had the chance to stretch my legs, I asked her: "Excuse me, but is that a Daytona you're wearing?" And pointed out mine at the same time. Her response... knocked me for a complete loop! Of course I was friendly and courteous on the outside but on the INSDIE I was shaking my head in disbelief. I don't know, maybe I'm over sensative... or letting stupid things bother me.... or maybe I'm just weird, but anyway, here is what happened:
She smiles (very nice and attractive young lady by the way) and looks at the watch, and says: "Yes.. well, at least I think that's what it is" She shows it to me and I almost hit the floor when I realized I was looking at a brand new WG Daytona with Meteroite dial. I was a tad speechless but said: "Thats a beautiful looking watch, have you had it long?" She replies: "I just got it as a Christmas present... really didn't know what it was, I just like big watches...is it really a Rolex? I complimented her on it again, thanked her for the time and returned to my seat... and did this to the back of the seat in front of me: It's none of my damm business, and with poverty, the economy, world hunger, pollution etc., there are more important things to occupy my thoughts, but I just couldn't comprehend how someone would have what to many of us is a grail, 35 thousand dollar watch and be so non-chalant (is that how you spell it?) about it. It's kind of like if you cherished Ferraris, and somone drove up in your dream car and you complimented them on it, and they respond "Oh is that a Ferrari?" That's a heck of a Christmas present, it's just incomprehensible to me how somone could receive such a significant item as a 35 K Rolex and not even realize what they had... (?). And before anyone asks, It was DEFINITELY REAL. I don't know... I guess I'm just weird but does anyone here understand what I'm talking about? |
