i did not grow up in a rich family but my parents made sure that my sister and I get the education we needed to survive in life. and one of my dreams when i was growing up was to own a rolex. Now i own 3 and everytime i look at my rolex it gives me that feeling of "Damn! I can't believe i own a rolex!" specially now that i have an SS daytona and looking at it's beauty i just can't help saying to myself... "Damn! I can't believe i own a rolex!"

do you experience that too?

STEELINOX · 23 February 2009, 11:15 PM

having one (let alone 3) does indeed give the "oh what a feeling" sense. Not sure if i'd say, "damn" (but you've got 3) but maybe would use the word, "EEYowee ! "

Yeah! Dan, you have a gift of eloquently translating my neanderthal thoughts!

You reap what you sow, and you've obviously earned EACH one of those three beauties!

Damn! Damn! Damn! I still can't believe it either.

Having worked and earned it, I think it is natural to be in awe of it. Rolexes are beautiful.

Trurolexer · 24 February 2009, 01:04 AM

It's happen to me too, Bro!!!

Lion · 24 February 2009, 01:06 AM

Chenx15, I know what you mean. I have wanted a Rolex for over 40 years and now have two!!! Everyday I look at my watch just to look at it and forget to see what time it is and then have to look at it again. Sometimes I just have to pinch myself to make sure I'm in reality. It's always nice to realize a dream coming true!!!

kcmo · 24 February 2009, 02:40 AM

I feel the exact same way! I used to dream of owning just one, but my trio just blows me away. I am so so fortunate....in many ways! And no, I am not 'rich' either.

ayeya · 24 February 2009, 02:45 AM

i share your sentiments chenx15, and that is why I am getting a rolex for my dad to show my appreciation

B. Doggy · 24 February 2009, 03:19 AM

Ditto!

sea-dweller · 24 February 2009, 03:41 AM

Yes, kind of. When I was young (teenage years), a Rolex to me was unattainable. After securing my BA degree and securing a pretty good job in the technology industry, that outlook changed. As you said, a good education helped a lot.

Dr.B · 24 February 2009, 04:03 AM

Hell yes, I will say Damn I see a Rolex on my wrist. Especially now that the market is going to hell. Lost 75K since Nov. At least I know my Rolex is safe on my wrist and is not depreciating.
Cheers to all those who have contemplated and made the jump to purchase a nice watch.

i feel you. i would never have bought a rolex if i think i could have gotten a better return in the stock market.

touchdowntodd · 24 February 2009, 05:21 AM

i feel it EVERY time...

my parents never made more than $30k a year combined, with 3 kids times were tough...

it REALLY makes me feel like i have done good things in my life.. little shit that most people take for granted like Allen Edmonds shoes, North Face coats.. all the lil shit gets me too, the things my other friends could have that i couldnt, but now do... GREAT feeling!
