Icon20 rituals and traditions

Hi everybody!
I'm a student doing a research on your brand community.
I'd like to know if you have some rituals, traditions some special words or way of act like a rolex client and member of this community!
Also what are your keywords as a moral responsability on the community!
Nice to meet you all! :)
Thanks for the attention!

I don't know if it's a ritual but every Sunday morning I pile my watches on my living room floor and dance naked around them while singing Kumbaya out loud.

I guess it's more a tradition.

Welcome to the forum.

Is sacrificing animals a ritual or a tradition?

I get the two confused.

Welcome to the forum.
Clockwise I hope, and not just the new fashion of counter clockwise that, IMHO, is just a passing fad and won't last.

Come on David, Nick, Rikki, Milos who were there.

And, in another thread you said you don't like to wear clothes.

Learning and observing ....

My ritual is to bath them everyday then have a quartetto with them. (better a quartetto with 3 rolexes than missionary with just a Patek )

Hi.

It's a WATCH. Ritual? Like a secret handshake? Maybe a club meeting in a treehouse?

Keywords as a moral responsibility? Huh?

Like: Whiskey bottles, and brand new cars
Oak tree you're in my way,,,

I think a lot of us have a tradition of emptying the discretionary spending account on some male jewelry on a regular basis.
