Your Private Jet and Rolex

[Frits1980]

Yup, was flying coach the other day and the fat guy next to me wore a sub. Rolex everywhere.

I know right?? It's a private jet so it has to remain private

This thread reminds me of a time when I was awarded a vacation for sales performance.

All expenses paid trip to the Ritz in Naples, FL.

I'm a/was a blue collar guy. Came from nothing (still have nothing, comparatively thinking where I'm going with this).

I'll never forget entering our suite for the week and sitting on the coffee table was a local magazine, you know the ones, every metropolitan center has their local publications for business advertising etc.

On the cover depicted a gorgeous jet with a beautiful picture perfect couple standing in front of the jet, shit eating grins, ear to ear.

The headline below read 'How to buy A private jet and really start living'.

I said to myself out loud. What world did I just enter?

I hated that week, bottles of water were $12USD.

A couple of years ago I almost was able to catch a ride back home with the CEO on the company jet. I got bumped. May has well have been on American . . . .

Mine too is being serviced at Boyd Aviation by the guy from Ajax, Gordon Liddy.
It’s a Citation ll.
Problems with the 7th fetzer valve or bypass line.
Waiting on some pliers, 30 weight ball bearings, 3 in 1 oil and 10 quarts of antifreeze, preferably Prestone, no, make that Quaker State.

It's all ball bearings these days

A photo of Rolex’s corporate jet. I am sure that Rolex executives all wear a specific brand on the flight.

A photo of wrist shots on the plane would be appropriate for their fans.

That’s only cool though if you’re in your bunk on your off watch, scrolling through the forum to kill the boredom. As a stock image from the internet, it just references what it could have been.

My private jet is on order but with the chip shortage it will be a while before delivery.

Rich is a subjective term. Really wealthy to you may be standard to someone else, or vice versa.

Aside from that, multi millionaires, who I’d consider rich, wear Rolexes. Amongst other brands.

I also think you’d be surprised at how many HNW’s are on this forum.

[Sprezzatura!,]

I wonder if anyone will recognise the landscape and know where we were flying to that day.

Wearing a Sub C on this flight…

You can't just throw out wild claims like this without citing a source...

Relaxing en route to San Jose, Costa Rica wearing my 1675 GMT on a friend's B727. NOT my airplane.

Sure, senior Rolex people will wear Rolex in public, and will no doubt rotate through the models to test them out

But, would love to know what watches the Execs who travel on this jet, wear in private

Pateks?

[Goin2drt]

Sorry I am still on "the list" from my AD for one. I have spent $186M so far with them buying ugly lesser jets made of gold and diamond window surrounds but yet to get the call for the G6. Oh well the wait continues.

Beat me to it Jack, I suppose when I was flying it wasn’t “mine” it really belonged to the taxpayers.

[samson66]

Darn it, one of these days I will remember to take a picture of my private jet...

That is a cool post. Very nice setup.

The company jet I flew on business was very uncomfortable. More like a limousine feel.
