There are a lot on ebay, some of them look real. I might get one customised with a crown but not Rolex written on it. Maybe TRF instead.

i got the same hat w a recent rolex purchase (except in green). altho they look cool, they wear like crap. Very cheap and thin fabric and the cut of the cloth is extremely small. Plus who would ever wear that hat in public? no one.

You can call me a sourpuss if you want but I have an intense dislike of wearing any article of clothing with a makers name on it.

Wearing that hat in public is begging to get mugged.

I doubt if anyone can read the writing on someone else's watch.

I had better not wear a Ferrari jacket anywhere, lest I get mugged for my Honda.

I know you're joking........but why anybody would want to blatantly announce to random strangers 'I'm more than likely wearing an expensive watch' is beyond me. Perhaps I've just lived in different areas than others

I like to wear my Rolex hat in my backyard, whilst I lounge under my Rolex umbrella (or grill with it in the rain). When I see a squirrel, chipmunk, or deer I tip my hat and they seem to appreciate the crown.

Agreed. I definitely do not own a Ferrari jacket.

Probably OK for a pro golfer or tennis player to wear one at a competition (if a Rolex endorsee or ambassador). On the other hand, a regular 'Joe Blow' sporting one in public at a shopping mall or restaurant =

Unless you happen to be wearing a G-Shock at the time (which would amount to a double ).

Enjoy your hat...but I'm with Mick & DMash.

Wearing that had is like saying, "See my hat, look at my wrist, now rob me."
