To arrive is to be able to travel internationally, stay at 5 star resort, enjoy the finest resturants, enjoy the recreational pursuits while leaving your passport and wallet at home on your bed without being questioned. My deseased father-in-law, achieved this status while vacationing and fishing in the Bahamas.

The ownship of a Rolex shows that person displays a sense of quality. In the previous issue of IW magazine, Theirry Stern gives a great interview.

So... tell us how you really feel. Also, it's tasteless to post such a derogatory comment.

Yes. +1
We are not braggarts by brandishing to others outside our hobby...it's, as the name states, a Rolex forum. Many of us have much more to deal with and are here for fun. If we were bragging about our Abba collection, horrendously styled steel on four wheels called Volvo, or furniture that one has to put together from an IKEA box, would you feel the need to be an arrogant priggish boor?
Go piss on someone else's parade, troll. To me, American's are much more polite, and humble, than given credit for after saving our arses with the blood of two of their generations. Sure, that was +60 years ago, but what would it be like now? Yet, many fault them for having fun in what, may be unconventional to our respective cultures. Jealous simpletons.
For sake of clarity, I'm Norwegian.

Oh, there you are...number 45. Be proud.

Ok, I change "american" to "chav". From being a member on several big name forums over the years I`ve observed how people in the States have a certain inclination of what and how to photograph when they show their latest purchase. And it is basically only americans who do this.

Not sure what you are talking about there Gåsen/Goose. Why are you talking about the war? This is a Rolex forum. Since you mentioned the war for some reason, lets get more yes-sayers into this thread. I mean more people who agree and float with the stream and don´t make a fuzz can´t be a bad thing right...? (See Pearl Harbour for the correct answer to that question and important lessons in group dynamics)

Still think this is a silly, brash, show-offy thread, un-fitting for the kind of elegant people member vintage69 described up here. You know, Rolex people...

With all that wealth and only 25.

Came back to delete my post. Too much time has elapsed so it, unfortunately, remains. Caught up in the moment. I know better. It was wrong and immature. My apologies for continuing a negative feeling.

I apologize to you erolorhun, directly and very sincerely.

Wishing all a nice weekend.

Lanfor · 15 April 2012, 03:28 AM

That's a bit of a harsh comment, we're just having some fun with our other interests

FremStar · 15 April 2012, 03:36 AM

I still have love for you erolorhun, thanks for contributing to the thread! A little more SWAG from the Americas!

Lanfor · 15 April 2012, 03:48 AM

At least pick on a specific state instead of an entire country, like New Jersey.

Goose · 15 April 2012, 04:20 AM

Think my beagles have their own SWAG.

True, but you have to admit it's pretty amusing to see what people regard as their other treasured possessions, like plimsolls and sunglasses!

It wasn't started as a "treasured possession" thread.
It was SWAG.

Guess it's lost in translation as usual when the USA gets the bad rap for being pompous etc....

Whatever.

No, I meant they are not "treasures".
SWAG is gear, kit, daily wear etc...

Oh OK. Thank you for the clarification. Although I don't quite understand why anyone would be interested in someone else's gym shoes or sunglasses or a half-empty bottle of whisky. Each to his own...

Why would you be interested in some one else's Rolex then?

Maybe because you'd see something you had never seen and like?
Shoot, that happened to me with Panerai, never heard of it before I came
here.

Now I must have one.

And so it goes.....

The whole issue was about the tone of "utterly American".
Basically, I thought "yeah, and so what"?

All the USA posters have been put on notice that "certain" topics are off limits since they may "offend" the rest of the
international participants of this forum.

Then I have to read some BS comment about Americans form some Eurotrash?
If we want to keep it civil on this forum then that sword cuts both ways.

End of rant and end of my input on this topic.
