As a student, or a kid really, did you not want other people to notice you?

Seth, I'm humble enough to admit I'm not part of the vast majority. I'm very blessed and consider it a privilege to own a Rolex. I wear my Rolex because I like the watch and have worked hard for it. I don't purchase anything, so people will notice me...that's just how I operate my friend!

As a student sitting in a cafeteria waiting for class to start, I can say that if you're wearing a watch to school like that you're wearing it for the wrong reasons. impress them with your grades and knowledge. if I looked over and saw a fellow classmate wearing a Rolex I would probably think it was fake and that he was just trying to impress people on campus. Focus on school man. No one cares what kind of watch you have on other then you.

Why would anyone care?
When I was in college I was checking out the chicks, not some dude's wrist.

Hahaha typical rolex guy, wants everyone to notice his wrist bling. Focus on school. Obviously you bought the watch for the wrong reasons.

My friend, if that were the case, you would not have felt the need to respond to my post.

I picked a model that would fly under the radar when I am out and about.

I wear the watches I have because I love them not because I wanted others to notice them.

Just my thoughts though.

After reading four pages of replies on his query, the OP will be devastated and will most probably sell the Rolex. He will invest the proceeds in equities and years from now will laugh at all the condescending comments that got him on the road to riches.

He will never buy another Rolex. He will wear an Apple wrist iwatch that will tell time and look after all communications business and personal.

He will look back at mechanical time pieces the way we look back at steam locomotives and laugh at how old people were so foolish back in the early 21st century.

Buy a TT fluted bezel or full gold watch or Iced up watch. Otherwise, no one will notice it.



BTW, no offense to anyone. Just saying most people notice gold and diamonds, not watches per se.

When I was in College I never thought about having a Rolex. I remember I liked my classmate's watch which was a Casio with a remote control for the TV. I had a titanium Timex watch which I loved (maybe I looked like a nerd back then). If you had been in my college I would have never noticed your watch but if you had showed off your Rolex I would be like... who cares?

Anyway, enjoy your watch.

If anything it seems my watch is always under my sleeve. I try to avoid letting people see what I own because at the end of the day it's what I am comfortable in and what makes me happy.

Younger people, these days, don't care about watches. It's a shame, IMO.

Yep, and some folks here are defending him. I wonder how much a ticket on the Troll Express with non-stop service to Trollsville costs?
