Someone called my Speedy Pro a "Poor man's Daytona" earlier today!

I am a bit disgusted as I type this. I was at the gym this morning. Checking out and drinking my post workout shake at the counter.

Guy next to me, he keeps staring at my wrist. Finally he asked me, "Is that a Speedmaster?" I was pleasantly surprised and replied "yes it is, its a 1969 vintage in fact." He then said "Its a nice watch, but its not a Rolex, its a poor man's Daytona really." I was a bit taken back by that statement. I then replied "that is your opinion and you are certainly entitled to it, however the Omega Speedmaster is not a poor man's anything in MY opinion."

I wished him well and left.

I believe its people like HIM that make others hate Rolex owners or view us as a bunch of pompous watch snobs.

What is wrong with people? I have complimented people on their Invicta watches that I genuinely liked, price has nothing to do with it. I was apparently snubbed for having only an Omega. Its unreal.
