Here's me and Che and my Sub date.

And what does his choice in watches have to do with his politics, or any politics.
Was the price of a Rolex in the early 60's really the same as $8.5K today.

I just find it interesting he wore one, period. Would like to know what happened to it. End of story, no other drama added.

Loosen the bone, Wilma...

Not forgetting the Rutles who played the world's first outdoor rock and roll concert at Che Stadium (named after the Cuban guerrilla leader Che Stadium).

I actually breifly met Rodriquez in the '80s, I was told afterwards about his connection with Che. I was told at that time that he was his executioner, but that's not the case. Although I myself was wearing my DRSD, I didn't notice what if any watch he was wearing. But I wasn't a WIS then, just a guy with a kick-ass dive watch.

I lol'd when I found that out too. our boy in cuba robbed the store as one of his first acts when he took over.

He was a brutal murderer. Contrary to the mythology carefully constructed around him and his Rolex.
