Che Guevara wearing Rolex!!

Ok this thread is a follow up of my previous with Fidel Castro's pics wearing a Rolex. Really can't tell whether he wears a Sub or GMT! Hugo Chávez will be next!!

Go figure, a Socialist/Communist who preaches for equality but wears a Rolex.

Why would you even celebrate this? Che is a pig!

Anyone here see the similarities between Che and Obama? Everyone is familiar with the pictures printed on t-shirts of Che wearing a barrett right?

Well, I'm seeing the same thing with the pictures of Obama on t-shirts. The exact same mottiff.

It's pagan Idolitry is what it is!

This thread is about a watch worn by a historical figure. Leave it at that. There will be NO political overtones.

The first pic looks like a Sub Date to me. The crown looks a little big to be a GMT.
