The Rolex Nightmare!
Warning: This thread is going to be graphic, viewer discretion advised.
Yesterday while walking through my office at work I was busy looking down at my SDDS and became lost in my gaze. My arm accidentally smacked into one of the metal cubical dividers. My initial reaction was to quickly pull my wrist in sight to see if there was any damage to my SDDS. As I pulled my wrist into sight I could see there was some damage, the various springs gears and other internal movements were just floating around within the watch and bouncing off of the crystal. They were all coming through the window in the dial where the date appears. Upon further examination I noticed that the components aimlessly floating around were rusted. It was a complete nightmare, a complete quality failure. As I was about to explode in a fit of rage my alarm went off and I woke up! This nasty little dream was courtesy of me taking a Benadryl before going to sleep. Needless to say, I won't be taking one of those pills again! Has anyone else had nightmares the included their Rolex? -Frankie |

I've never had nightmares about a watch, but I've had dreams about a watch I didn't own yet.

I like my watch, but I don't dream about it!
However, I am afraid of nightmares because of those JJ pics.
