So , why do I wear a Rolex and not a Timex?

Because I CAN.

End of story. More and more I feel that a person who has the audacity to ask you such a question deserves this answer.

Good one, Pete....and remember.....it's all about the PASSION!!

Sorry I took so long to respond, Bubba - I've worked two 27-hour stretches in the past five days to get a project completed by today. Instead of taking the discussion off-track, I've answered your question here: http://www.rolexforums.com/showthrea...982#post339982.

Cause I never wore a watch untill this one was given to me. My dad has ALWAYS worn a DDyg, and I always said to my self that I would only wear a Rolex... And now I know why!!!

So basically, wearing a Rolex does not have to mean that you are well off or that you are showing off. It could also mean that you just like QUALITY and DESIGN.

At my work, there is a girl who is wearing a men's DJ 16200, and she is DEFINATELY not in the well-earning part of the company.

We often have a Rolex chat together, though, and the first day I went to work she came running and asked me "Are you wearing it?!" (she referred to my SS Daytona that I had told her that I would be wearing for the first time that day).

We both share the fascination for Rolex, but my other collegues don't think of me "showing off".

So don't be ashamed wearing a Rolex.

Good answer Bo.

I love your avatar.
