Rolex bashing-hate

[Barbara_C]

As I have stated we live in the Woodlands....a upper middle class to rich "township" north of Houston. Today the HEB opened at noon and I was buying some ice cream and junk food ....the lines are long from the storm. The man behind me says "I see you fell for the Rolex hype" huh ? what? I had on my DJ 36 mm TT I've had for 15th years or longer. I told him I buy what I like....he kept on about real watch collectors bypass Rolex for higher end brands ....well maybe its true but I like Rolex and some Omega because they make ladies watches. I walk to the parking lot and he is parked about 3 cars from me....I'm in my 2021 Jeep GC....I could not help myself ....I told him "I see you fell for the Audi hype...." I don't want to ruffle Audi owners feathers but I would never buy one....my family comes from U.S. auto workers.....mostly MOPAR...dad retired after 32 years in 84.
He gives me a shocked look....I told him yeah I'm old but I would bet I'm a better car tinkerer than you...my dad taught me since I was 5..... he drove off without a word.
Back to the question why the Rolex hate? please excuse my spelling I'm using the phone.....my internet connection is still down and my old eyes cant see the small print well.
