i said that they would "have" to service it....point being that, to me, the dominos pizza rolex is as ridiculous as a mary jane rolex. only difference being that rolex actually made the dominos one.

Yeah Man !

I really want that watch ! It would go rally well with the T-shirt I always
wear on my travels in The U.S.A. The slogan reads I AM A STONER FROM
SCOTLAND...OF COURSE I'M CARRYING DRUGS...LEAVE ME ALONE FUZZ !
I've made soooooo many friends among the Police Officers in various
states I've visited and , y'know what...they always take me back to the station to meet their friends....Such fun !

personally watch is not for me (especially as a daily wearer) but is unique nonetheless.
i would not want that kind of attention. jmo

I guess this modification has been done with a sense of frivolity in mind....

Given that it is only the dial and hands (which are gold and wrong for a SS watch) it would be a fairly easy task to reverse and restore to a regular dial and hands.

It is interesting how this dial could have been painted like that, I wonder how that was done as it looks like it was quite a skillful application in creating that marijuana leaf.



Not something I would personally wear, but interesting as a point of discussion Are you sure your friend didn't buy this watch in Amsterdam rather than Paris

Looks like a Sativa strain and would definitely be a conversation piece, irrespective of your position/opinon on the use of marijuana.

It's not for me - the watch that is!

Why don't you all just pull the panties out of yer behinds and relax.... That watch is cool in its own right. Just because it has a 'leaf' on it, does not make is a target for all the negative predisposed notions. Unless, of course, you get appalled at the sight of a beer bottle as well. To the best of my knowledge, alcohol has caused more deaths and has torn up more families than the 'leaf'. So just relax, people. If you don't like it, there's always the 'back' button. Don't think the OP posted this to get roasted, ok?

I don't think anyone was "roasting" the OP. Drugs and their usage will bring out many strong opinions and I'm sure the OP knew this when he started the thread. No one was bashing him, just the ugly watch. PS, at this time pot is illegal, alcohol is not, so your comparison really isn't valid. And yes I will have a beer with dinner, but at least in the country that I used to know, drug usage was frowned upon.
