I live in Scottsdale, perhaps a moderately vein town. I could go a weeks and not see one....except for mine. Even in a hospital full of Cardiologists and Surgeons....flipp$$:$;&@ Apple Watches and those irritating things measuring your steps.

Gremlin and Pacer...wow, blast from the past. How about an 83 Chevette? Good times in one of those.

Agreed, probably the ugliest Sub that has ever been creased!

Vein is a part of the anatomy; vain refers to over inflated self worth, fwiw.

Is this where I can confess that I drive a 2006 Honda CRV with 215k miles? And my car has less worth than my (1016) watch?

Keeping my PCL's looking new is a Pain In The @^&*!

A Submariner is not worth 8k. But I got one anyway.

The Daytona has become a Ladies watch!

"My _______says hi!" is such a cringeworthy statement.

Yes it is one of the more silly ones.

My unpopular opinion is that pretty much every unpopular opinion about Rolex has already been posted in this thread.

Having said that, I'm sure this this post will get buried in no time as the same unpopular opinions are rehashed ad nauseam.

40mm is the perfect case size and not 43mm or 44mm!!!

I like the sillyness of "mine says hi!"

Its part of the forum game.

Part of the sillyness of "grown man on watch forums"

I love it :)

I've tried, but cannot get my watch to speak - or sing. Perhaps it needs to go to the RSC?

Hah, yes. No sillier than grown ups generally posting pictures of their watches on the internet.

My wife laughs whenever she sees me taking a wrist shot she thinks its ridiculous

I think the GMT bezel is busy. :D

Not sure how long this thread will live, but I wanted to add one more:

There is nothing more tacky and gauche than posting a picture of your Rolex-adorned wrist with a steering wheel of a fancy car (BMW, Porsche, M-B, etc) in the background. Even worse - and bizarre - are the pictures posted by men with their watch laying across a crazy expensive leather bag. Really, guys? Rolex owners aren't already seen as d-bags by enough people on the planet that you have to go and make it even worse?

Make this one a sticky. I couldn't have put it better. Nauseating.

My dislike of the comic character The Hulk has a negative influence on my wanting the watch. Silly/stupid but true.

The ticking..can get very annoying...all those gears making a lot of noise all the time...

[rolexnub]

I think this thread is nothing but hate, sarcasms and negative opinions about our beloved Rolex watches.

I think the GMTc bezel is the best looking there is!

It makes sense if you dont like something thats associated.

Just focus on the tangible things.

I got a hulk.. and i would still get it even if people called it "The green tin foil hat"

I prefer to look at it like a sort of "roast" of Rolex as opposed to "hate". We all love Rolex, but it's ok to jab at them from time to time.

Thats a great approach :)

Exactly

Just a light-hearted discussion of Rolex (and perhaps more so, us watch geeks and our weird practices).

To draw a parallel, I love my wife to absolute bits, but it doesn't stop me from admitting she has a super-human ability to irritate the hell out of me on a regular basis.

Also, I refer back to my earlier comment in this thread...

If you take it off and don't touch it for a few days, that noise will stop
