Just stay out of Wal-Mart!

Man, that is why I always pack my concealed carry firearm in public places. Of course, sound judgement is always needed, but you never know.

waeleldasher · 1 January 2008, 05:00 AM

I believe I gave someone a real scare actually.

It was the night I picked up my Explorer II. I went, with my wife, to pick up our diner order from my favorite Thai restaurant, leaving my new watch nestled in the baby seat in the rear.

A young man greeted us at the counter (he looked like a kid, later on I would realize he wasn't) dressed in a Hawaiian like shirt behind the counter was ringing me out when I noticed on his wrist a WG President. I looked at it again carefully while he was asking me silly questions like if I would like chopsticks and soy sauce...etc (of course I want bloody chopsticks!!! stop asking me dumb questions!). I answered his questions abruptly, and what may have been loudly, with "Is that Rolex real?" followed by a slight gasp...or so I recall.

I must have scared him because he immediately retracted his arm off the counter as if we were playing some kids game and I was about to smack his hand. What surprised me is that he seemed really scared of me! Scared of me? Why would he be scared of me, I thought? Doesn't he know waeleldasher! How ridiculous, I thought.

For some reason, my imagination expected him to take it off his wrist, to show me if it was real or not, but instead he was scared! How odd, and it made me feel like a criminal. "I don't want your lousy watch man", I thought to myself, "if I want one, I would have bought one today!" as the inner monologue continued in my head.

I promptly decided to reassure him that I wasn't after his watch by whipping out my wrist and showing him that I am wearing a SS Daytona, and a white face to boot! It was meant as a statement that said "we're all good here, that I too have the sickness with no cure in sight."

Upon seeing my SS Daytona he recognized me instantly as one the infected, part of the group, the inner circle, I am your half brother. He opened up quickly and you can literally see his shoulders slacking. He assumed his eccentric pose instantly by quickly brushing off my silly SS Daytona aside when he declared " Ah yes, I have the gold Daytona at home". This reminded me how in some cultures gold is still king.

I asked him if he ever surfed the forums here, and he exclaimed, he doesn't have the time to spend on forums, that he preferred to just go buy watches.

I paid him, thanked him, walked out with my wife and told her how surprised I was to see someone that young wearing such a watch. Nothing against the guy or the watch, rather its the combination of the two that didn't seem right. I sort of envisioned someone of a certain age to wear a President, as it certainly did not suit him, but he seemed happy and was proud that he had other Rolexes that were gold too. I am certain of one thing, I scared him good.

He has the gold one?

trust me if he had the Gold Daytona, he would have been wearing it that night. He obviously knows nothing about Rolex since the SS is worth more than the TT. The moral is, you could have been wearing a $80,000 Patek Philippe and the boy would have said "I have that one also."

But this is the U.S. materialism, so he felt he had to compensate by saying he had the Gold Daytona. In this country, I don't take peoples words for face value, if someone says they have something, I say "Show me what you got...." If they step up, then kudos to them, but most of the time they will be full of BS.

I did slip; I confused the TT one with the FULL gold one. The FULL gold is substantially higher in price than the SS, but the SS is similarily priced to the TT. Ok I should have said the TT one, not the FULL gold one, but the point is the kid doesn't have the watch PERIOD.

You expect the guy to wear all his watches at the same time?

You're being terribly presumptuous here, and it reflects more upon you than the kid in the restaurant.

I'm sure you made a scientific study before you posted your statement.

So, you feel others have to prove themselves to you all the time? Enjoy your Rolex.

I think you guys took my previous reply out of context, I hope this will explain it more.
Well I am using this theory in the context that if one has the Me Too syndrome. Not every case has to be proven to myself. Obviously, the kid at the restaurant has Me Too Syndrome. The Syndrome when you find someone has a superior in any context, they have the need to say " Hey me too I also have that.” I mean the kid could have just said "Hey nice Rolex, Then abruptly ended the conversation." This is what I would have said if I was the kid the man was talking too. There was no need for the kid to say " I have that in gold", Unless, the kid was IN FACT wearing the Gold Daytona at that moment in time, then it would have been proper to make that statement. When one in society makes a boastful statement, it's ones inner primal instinct to determine if it is a fallacy or fact.

Have you ransacked the kid's home and found no Daytona? If not, are you in possession of a crystal ball that tell you if someone has a Daytona or not? Maybe you have a contact in the CIA who tracks all Daytona owners, perchance?

I don't know where you get off claiming to be arbiter of what's proper to say, but you're being a jackass. Determine if something is fallacy or fact? What facts do you have on hand here? All you're doing is making BS guesses about someone you don't know. Nobody knows if the kid does have one, but you've got no business stating it as fact that he doesn't and then casting aspersions upon his character on your so-called theory.

I'll thank you to keep your ignorance off this forum. I'm only going to ask nicely once.

I don't know about you but I have always thought Wal-Mart was the great demographic melting pot of retail.

Drive around the parking lot and check out the cars. They range from rusting 75 Impalas to new Range Rovers.

Everybody likes a bargain.....

Never was jacked in Walmart. Saw another guy with a Sub at Walmart.

What's the big deal over Walmart? It's a great store. When my kids were in diapers, we brought diapers there. Now that my kids are in school, we get all their supplies at Walmart. Cheap. Good place for everyday stuff too.

GrandDaddy · 1 January 2008, 08:00 AM

There's nothing wrong with Wally World. As I have posted in the past (several times), some people just need to come back down to earth, their watches are getting in their heads. Mahalo!

As steel was the only one actually there, it's difficult to make judgements about 'right' or 'wrong'. Had this been an innocent request or a lead-in to something worse, only he and his instincts really know. Bad things happen in a flash. Your own disbelief is the bad guys ally, and your own worst enemy. Taking a defensive, cautious attitude is appropriate because, if things go bad, at least one hurdle is already crossed. Whether the other person reads 'attitude' in your response or not is irrelevant. If he's up to no good, your assumption that he isn't works just fine for him. All things considered, you did just fine steel... learn from this experience and carry it with you on future outings with your valuables.

joe100 · 1 January 2008, 09:05 AM

You have to be careful in all situations. I'm always vigilant and careful when strangers strike up a conversation about my GMT.

I don't carry a gun but I never leave home without my knife and we all know a knife is just as deadly as a gun if the attacker is close. Of course in most situations it's best to just hand over the watch. I'm not gonna risk being shot for something I can replace.

The idea is to be alert. We are wearing something that is quite expensive by most standards and there are people out there that would try to harm any of us to get it. (Except JJ. I think his army of sheep would stop any would-be attacker)

Best regards,

J.

waeleldasher · 1 January 2008, 11:00 AM

I am not sure if he's for real or not, but I believe he owns the restaurant now. It used to be his mothers place and she was a real lady. Always proper and has great etiquette. I believe she's letting him run the business, so it's not out of the realm of possibility for him to have several other watches.

I noticed things like his nails were nicely trimmed, he wore an interesting looking pendant, the top two buttons of this shirt were open...they kind of give you the impression he came from a privileged family.

I've been fortunate enough too, but I've always liked manual labor and it shows on me at times, so I may have looked a bit gruff to him.

Cheers & Happy New Year all.

Why'd you snap at him the first time, though?

Dunno about that, nimm - there's still some parts of Singapore where I'd have the threat radar on.

waeleldasher · 1 January 2008, 11:30 AM

I really didn't snap at him. I believe my question took him by surprise and his reaction made me want to re-assure him that I am not crazy, I'm just an enthusiast. May be I am crazy, depending on how you define an enthusiast I suppose.

cheers

Ah, okay, I'm with you now. The way I read it, I thought you'd snapped at him when he asked about chopsticks and soy sauce.

Gedanken · 1 January 2008, 12:14 PM

Would I believe him? No. Would I jump the gun and "diagnose" him with Me Too Syndrome? Hell no!

I'm not taking anything personally, but your presumtious conclusion is offensive. You don't have to take what anyone says as gospel until the claim is substantiated, but I don't know where you get off immediately concluding that the guy's a liar.

Just look at your own posts and see how much rubbish you've written:

- Did the kid claim that his Daytona was better than Wael's? No - all he said was , "Hey, I've got one in gold too", so where does his knowing the difference between SS and TT values fit into this?

- Do you have proof that he doesn't have a Daytona? If not, how can you conclude he's lying?

- Do you have proof that he's trying to compensate, and what is he compensating for? FACTS, not your little misguided theories, please.

- Do you have proof that the kid thought Wael to be "superior"? FACTS, not your little misguided theories, please.

You've said that the kid "obviously" has Me Too Syndrome. Here's a newsflash - none of it is obvious at all.

What is Erap? Oh, BTW, I don't need to carrying my gun. I have them in the safe. I just open up to admire them once in the blue moon. That's all. Where I live, I can left the front door open all night and sleep with out a fear. So, I feel sorry for those whose are so paranoia that have to have a gun to go any where else. Sorry.

No - all he said was , "Hey, I've got one in gold too", so where does his knowing the difference between SS and TT values fit into this? - Do you have proof that he doesn't have a Daytona? If not, how can you conclude he's lying? - Do you have proof that he's trying to compensate, and what is he compensating for? FACTS, not your little misguided theories, please. - Do you have proof that the kid thought Wael to be "superior"? FACTS, not your little misguided theories, please. You've said that the kid "obviously" has Me Too Syndrome. Here's a newsflash - none of it is obvious at all. __________________ You buy a Casio to make sure you're on time; you wear a Rolex because you don't have to be on time.

I have them in the safe. I just open up to admire them once in the blue moon. That's all. Where I live, I can left the front door open all night and sleep with out a fear. So, I feel sorry for those whose are so paranoia that have to have a gun to go any where else. Sorry.
