Hi all,
I just came across this and I can't quite decide if this is a cool Rolex accessory or if it would be really sad to have this as a welcome mat?
I think I am probably leaning toward SAD.
What do you think?

Why sad? I guess the thought of folks wiping their feet on anything Rolex would be kind of a contradiction, eh...

Perhaps it is just me, but I just can't understand why anybody would want a piece of AD's carpet edge bound to use as a door mate.
It is like the Sweatshirts with the Daytona etc... on them (Chronowear I think the guy calls it) it just seems a little over the top to me.
Most of us don't want to draw attention to our watches when we wear them, so why would you want to have a Rolex mat at home or wear a top with a Rolex watch printed on it, don't get me wrong I think the Chronowear designs look cool, but I personally would never wear one?
Like everything though, it is all down to personal choice

I know a few that'd use it as a mattress

Incurable · 23 February 2008, 07:14 PM

Don't let Jocke see it... He'll use it for a car floormat or something. Wall hanging? Worksurface for changing bracelets? Photo backdrop? Place mat? Hemorrhoid pad? I think he needs one... Why not, he's got everything else Rolex

I would not want to advertise to anyone looking to break into your house that you can afford expensive jewelry, Peter

Alex Stylianou · 23 February 2008, 09:02 PM

Sad !

I'm leaning on the side of SAD !
Rolex make great watches but I'm sure their doormats are pretty standard :)
Besides your neighbours will think you stole it from your Local AD :)

Stef_Call · 23 February 2008, 10:04 PM

. Sorry PC issue I posted twice

Gurmot · 23 February 2008, 10:15 PM

Sad. Most of us get carried away with our WIS habits but it does seem sensible to keep some sort of limits.

I wonder if owners of these things also have Rolex coronet tattoos and name their kids after watches (have you met my Daughter Daytona and my son Milgaus?).

I say enjoy Rolex, but get a life!

Cheers - Simon

Someone reciently posted a link to a green Rolex briefcase on the bay, it was fricken hideous looking and someone bought it for like $300.....pure madness, a GREEN briefcase....GREEN....

BuffaloRolex · 24 February 2008, 12:44 AM

No way. Why would you advertise something like that to any would-be visitor? I'll enjoy my Rolex watch and my Rolex books. For a welcome mat, a simple "Welcome" will do.

At some point it is more "bragging" than just enjoying a great a watch...lame.

f16570 · 24 February 2008, 06:32 AM

Don't all you guys have one of these?

Scooby · 24 February 2008, 06:40 AM

Odd that it's only 2 inches by 3 inches. Must be for a midget's house. Hmm, who could that be here.... (yes, I know it was a typo).

I think you run the risk of offending someone who could not afford a Rolex (hey look at me...) whilst at the same time looking like a norbert to those of us fortunate enough to be able purchase one.

Not a good look!

BlackpoolRolexCoaste · 24 February 2008, 07:06 AM

In other words, I agree with Goldenbear.........
