Which rolex to wear while drinking wine?

Well, if you've just purchased a bottle of 1811 Château d’Yquem, the most expensive bottle of white wine ever sold, you wear a Pepsi of course. (Or is that a Coke?)

Looks like a Coke to me! I'd rather have the Rolex than that bottle of wine.

It's white wine so it would have to be the yachtmaster.

If I spent 75k pounds on a bottle of wine I probably wouldn't be wearing my little ole Deep Sea. I'd prob be sporting some 500k Patek.

Yup....

It's so funny how we know what we know and we're laughing at what we know but others are probably scratching their head wondering sbout what we're talking about. And, it's so simple. All they had to do is actually pay little attention to the article.

This was a trick question. We all know that drinking wine, as with dangerous activities such as swimming, are NOT safe things to do while wearing a Rolex.

You would think the dude could pony up a few bucks and get a decent haircut, though.

I'm just saying.

Sheesh! You need to Google before your go declaring that d'Yquem is a claret! Presume nothing! It happens to be made in Bordeaux but it's a sweet Sauternes white wine made using "noble rot", and it's definitely not a claret.
