Rolex Factory Tour

There was a small fire in one of the parts tray when I toured the Rolex factory the other day.

I think I might have inhaled some second hand smoke.

Good thing the tray wasn’t for GMTs - Second Hand smoke is much safer than that 24-hr. Hand smoke.

Yeah, I figure the most I could have been exposed to was a minute amount.

If bottled it’d sell at a higher value, and without fees, here in classifieds.



I can imagine the listing.

FS: Rare bottle of Rolex Smoke

Barely used. Maybe twice at the most...

“But when I was in England I experimented with (it) a time or two, and I didn’t like it. I didn’t inhale it, and never tried it again.”

$20 Gazillion including overnight shipping.

It would go for a premium over that guy who sometimes sells boxes of fresh Wyoming air.
