Wearing Rolexes have driven all my friends away,

so I hang out here!

Fiery · 27 January 2010, 02:30 AM

Most of my friends do not care about a watch as long as it shows the time. Most of the ones who own swiss watches have one or more Breitlings. Heck, I don't even know anyone around me who would own a Rolex. Weird :)

What is going on in this world??? Kids who would rather play sports via a video game console instead of playing for real, virtual reality/3D, and now ... using a cell phone to tell time. Katie, bar the door!!!

Just yesterday my father in law was making fun of people who wear Rolexs. So, I calmly pulled my sleeve down below my TT YM as he was talking. He had no clue.

Rebel · 27 January 2010, 05:03 AM

Small town in N. Mississippi.....most of my friends wear something from Wal-Mart.

ESKO · 27 January 2010, 05:06 AM

My coworkers/friends wear Tissot's, Tag's, Movado's, and various other quartz watches with styling's (Nixon, Fosil, and No name fashionable watches). I don't think I have a friend who wears Rolex, but they have some nice watches none the less.

Cato · 27 January 2010, 05:12 AM

Watches must be going out of style. A lot of my friends don't wear watches. I feel disabled without a watch telling the time and date. They just look at clocks or ask me the time. Those that do, wear "mall watches." Some of them wear the same Mossimo or Anne Kline watch for years at a time! They have my pity: life it too short to wear a cheap watch! Don't they know there are so many beautiful Rolexes, Omegas, and Pateks out there?!

I have a brother in law who has a Tissot. My father in law has an Omega gold dress watch he bought in Hong Kong in the early 1980s. He only wears it for special occassions. He won't give me a straight answer wheather it's solid gold or not.

I bought the G-Shock I wear in the woods and working in the yard at Wal-Mart! It tell time mighty good ... uh huh

rad87gn · 27 January 2010, 07:49 AM

My girlfriend wears a SS/WG ladies DJ (present from me). I have one friend who wears a TT DJ. I have another friend who wears a couple SS sport TAGs and wants to get a Panerai sometime. His wife has some TAGs and an Omega. My VP wears a TT Rado. Other than that just regular cheap watches. I by far have the largest watch collection.

BASSETHOUNDS · 27 January 2010, 08:00 AM

I have friends that wear from Swatch's to Patek , relatives about the same and clients that have some amazing time pieces , then again I have never seen a Swatch on any of them

It's really about a love and/or appreciation for fine watches. And that's why I love this forum. Regardless of a lot of things, hundreds of us check in every day based on our love of watches. I think that's great!

Me and you would get along just fine

But most of my friends being young wear seiko kinetic, citizen, and one has a good looking omega the rest sad to say but cell phone

. Im just glad I dont pick my friends like my watches !

Starwalker · 27 January 2010, 04:11 PM

Rich2putt · 9 February 2010, 05:38 AM

I always notice a lot of people weaing Rolex. I also live in a depressed area of the state.

jrssv · 9 February 2010, 02:19 PM

I have no idea what kind of watches my friends wear. Friends are friends!

Lamone · 9 February 2010, 03:24 PM

My friends don't wear watches, I think it's weird.

shandy · 9 February 2010, 04:11 PM

The majority of the people I know actually wear no watch

But a few still do, Carl who you all know has a stunning collection, then I have a friend with a Cartier Roadster, Yachtmaster and a couple of Harry Winstons.
I also have some freinds with vintage Omega's and Bulova's.

Most everyone else who does where a watch is either Timex or Casio, both Brands I really respect as they are excellent timekeepers and do what is asked of them for years and years with no sign of giving up. In fact I really like Timex, the everymans watch

bewithabob · 10 February 2010, 04:07 PM

IWC, Breitling, Rolex, Jaeger LeCoultre, Patek, Breguet, Bell & Ross, Cartier, Chanel, Blancpan, Glaschutte Original....oh this is ridiculous this will take me forever

galloman · 10 February 2010, 04:48 PM

I've only got a friend who's interested in watches. He has a Rolex, a Bvlgari, a Cartier, and a couple of others.

The rest of my buddies all wear Fossils, Guess's, and the like

Most of my immediate friends are not watch guys. I do have a friend that collects TAGs. I'm not sure if he really planned on collecting, or he just can't sell any of them.
