GIVEAWAY: Rolex Hat - the Genuine AD SWAG article

[explodingtaco]

My attempt just cus I wanted to give it a go. (exempt from voting of course)

Also the story contains truth, you can decide what that part is:


In high school I lived in northern Wyoming and worked at a ski resort in Jackson Hole on the weekends. One weekend Rolex threw a sponsored ski day at my resort. Celebrities sighting are pretty common in Jackson Hole. The likes of Harrison Ford, Brad Pitt, Sandra Bullock and many others have homes there. In fact I went to school with a pretty famous actor’s son.

The day of the tournament came and Rolex gave all of us working the event hats. Pretty standard fare. Then I only knew Rolex as a status symbol and I knew the people there were people of status so I did not think anything of it.

At the end of the day after the slopes “close” those of us who lived up there would take the lift for a last run of the day. I got separated from my friend and was just relaxing on a slow run down the hill. Of all things to happen: I run into Harrison Ford and his young kid. His son is clearly upset. I ask if I can help and Mr. Ford tells me his son dropped his hat somewhere up the hill and all was ok, his son was just upset.

I reach up and take my hat and give it to the kid. Mr. Ford squints a little and asks if I am sure. “Of course” I answer. His son smiles and Mr. Ford follows suit. As I say “have a great day” and start to ski off the most unbelievable thing happens to me:

As his son starts heading down the hill, Mr. Ford tells me to hold on. He takes off his DJ and hands it to me. I am of course in shock and ask if he is sure. He immediately pushes off down the hill and shouts: “You did great kid, just don’t get cocky!”


I do cherish the watch and the memory. The hat that is being given away is almost, if not identical, to the one I gave Harrison Ford’s son and would love to have it sitting next to the watch.

Thank you for your consideration.
