You can't find it because you can't see above the side of the boat, Lil man.

Maybe, but the knickers and pastel shirts you candyasses wear on the golf course they have there will be easy enough to see

Wait, I have an idea. You can always wear the knickers as long pants so it is all good if you stop by to visit.

Bashers....

I don't really worry too much about what others think about my watches.

It's a treat for me.

I love my Texas Timex(s) :)

Still looking for that 5513 or another 1680 ;)..... you can't have just one.

I have to disagree with you guys. We are not talking small money here. We are talking about spending thousands of dolllars for a mere watch. The Panerai costs 5-6K and you know what a new rolex costs especaillly the sub LV at minimum 5K so fad??? gimme a break a watch is only worth what your willing to pay.....I just dont care for watch critics bashing any watches..sucks

It isn't the plaid that is so bad, it is the purple argyle socks with the fat white belt that is tough to get used to.

They did not have proms or cameras when GG was in school. Hell, he graduated with Moses and Noah.

Good question, there are two reasons why I have seen that people bash Rolex and neither I believe stem from any type of jealousy. One is that the bashing is directed at the stereotypical Texas Timex type owner that only buys the watch as a status symbol of wealth. They act like a jackass and think their poop doesn't stink because they have a crown on their wrist. The people that bash the brand for this reason are usually collectors of other brands, sometimes higher end stuff like PP, VC or Lange.

The second reason is because some owners of Rolex watches bring it on themselves by simply flat out refusing to believe that there is any brand on par with Rolex (the same can be said of many Panerai owners too). This narrow and short sided view brings out the bashers and puts them on the defense right off the bad.

Then as always, you do have trolls that just like to start up shite for the sake of it. These people aren't worth the time of day to consider them bashing Rolex, they are just idiots.





Interesting thoughts, since you were so quick to cast "scorn" :

"I view Panerai as a fad, a large, unsightly, fad, nothing more. They will never stand the test of time as Rolex has. Esthetically, they're rather displeasing and they seem to fail horribly in a practical sense, as their size and weight is a burden to the wearer. I believe that followers of this brand will soon wish they had made wiser investments in more established brands. Just my opinion here, ladies and gentleman."

It is this view that can be reviewed as reason number two in my list. I fail to see appreciation for another brand in your statement, but I do sense alot of scorn.
It appears as though you take offense to any of my postings that are void of kudos for Panerai, sir. If I may, is this the tone of this forum as a whole, this unwritten rule requiring complimentary dialogue for all that is posted? Or is genuine opinion widely accepted here, with the exception of you, avalon, comatox and a short list of others, of course?
