Reactions to your Rolex

[illuminatus]

"You haven't been to Bangkok again, have you?"

"That can't be REAL, there's no writing on the back"

"Whoah! that's Heavy"

"Obviously, paying you too much"

"Spending SILLY money again, I see"

"Omegas' are the BEST ~ ROLEX ... Dime a Dozen, everybodys' got one"

I had a customer comment on my DD just this weekend. He asked me if mine was real becuase I guess he said he sold fake Rolexs in China Town. He even had the guts to ask me to take off my watch and hand it over to him so he could feel how heavy it was...

I didn't mind but he shouldn't have said Rolex when all of my peers and other customers were around.

That was the first time I was embarassed to have a Rolex.

Hi.
I wore my SS oyster Date for 9 years............NO comments

I have worn my SS Sub Date 7 years......No comments except from other Sub wearers (about 5 in all)

I agree................... people don't care unless they are a WIS



Regards Mike.

Don't know don't care. I try not to notice people and just do my thing. I am always polite to everyone but sometimes just want to be left alone. To me they are just watches.

BigHat aka Matt, have you ever posted pics of your VC Overseas Chrono? That's one watch I lust over, especially the white dialed version. As I will probably never own one, how about a few pics, or a steer to an old thread where you have...

As far as comments go... Having owned Rolexes for over 15 years, I've can count them on my left hand. Nobody seems to notice. I will get an awkward stare now and again. Recently my Aunt, who is not wanting for money in the least, learned that I owned a Rolex. I showed her mine and she was shocked to see it wasn't diamond encrusted and garish. She thought all Rolexes were and cost 5 figures or more. Everybody may know the name but very few know any more than that...

You can always quote Oscar Wilde: "I have very simple tastes. I am always satisfied with the best"

In my experience I don't get many comments.
I'm more likely to comment on another persons watch.

Yep, me too. In here where I live, almost everyone don't know about Rolex sport. A few people who's collect watch maybe know. All they now about Rolex is if the model like DJ or DD with tt or all gold. That's a Rolex in their mind.
