LOL! I am guilty of admiring my watch only to look at my computer screen to check the time!! HA!! Glad to see I am in like-minded company!

"I cannot find the laser etched coronet!"

"How do you wash your Rolex?"

"Do you sleep with your Rolex?"

"My SS Sub is running 1 sec. slow! Is that normal?"

"The date of my Rolex changes 3 minutes past midnight! Should I get it fixed?"

Take away those plus the dog/cat/gun/car/toilet roll holder questions and you have little if anything left. Those are the questions that draw people to the site in the first place. Those are the questions that Google sweeps and returns on searches, well, along with the zillion replica sites.

And the number one question: I can`t believe you spent that much on a watch.

My responce: I am ahead/in the red, by about $2000. I bought this gmt for $1000 22 years ago and now I could sell It for $3000. I love the look!; Really, is the normal responce. And joking around, I say: Yea, on top of that I have not thrown away any batteries, so this watch is enironmentally friendly!

Regards,
Lane

In all honesty, it has already been mentioned there are always going to be new members who need to ask a question again if they haven't found the search facility yet, but the question I have seen far too many times is '' How do you clean your Rolex?'' for gods sake read your '' your Oyster'' booklet it tells you if you can't work it out for yourself

Those pictures of the Invicta post-bullet hole are awesome!

Does anybody get the the urge to answer the question, "How do you wash your Rolex?"

with "Just take it in the shower with you."

Well, you see, there's the problem. How can anyone tell if there's cake on the ears with a poor shot like that!!
