SNORKEL!!


I'm taking your cross thread trolling as a sign that I got the better of you and others on the other thread and following me around the forum is a sign of your displeasure, so I'm ok with that.

So I wanted to try one of these maxi case SubC’s but my local AD said I’d need to wait a couple of years to even get a chance of looking at one.

I thought “sod that!” and I bought a £120 fake Hulk that looked 99% like the real deal, ok it was only running at 21600bpm and not 28800bpm. Hey but the waiter at my local curry house now thinks I’m minted.

After a couple of weeks of ownership I decided that I really don’t like the fat case, it’s grossly over proportioned and I’d much prefer a 5 digit sub. So I flipped the fake, losing £10 in the process.

Does this make me a bad person?

In some parts of the US of A it makes you Osama bin Laden😉

Dude- I’m having fun. It’s not trolling, you’re going from post to post being an ass, I might as well have fun with it.

If by fun you mean being a sore loser then fine, fill your boots.

Man, I thought people were grumpy during the week but on the weekend?!... Too much energy wasted on this bickering.

Y'all need a beer and a football game on TV to unwind

In Singapore for GP. Walked into (one of) the Rolex Boutiques in Orchard Rd and 3 hours later the Rolex AD at the airport in Terminal 1. Both had a Batman GMT and a black dial Daytona on display. Very clearly marked "DISPLAY ONLY - NOT FOR SALE" on both occasions. Seems like the message has gone out from HQ that empty showrooms are bad for brand. Still cannot buy one though!

Don't know what's worse, getting on the waiting list or looking at one in the metal but not available to buy.

It's easy enough to get worked up when people are saying the terrorists are making fake watches, just a crazy notion from start to finish.

I'm not off until the early hours of tomorrow, but you've got to admit watching the typical Trump voters claim all sorts of things is in a way "fun" and in another quite sad.

I like Omega but, damn, do you take a hit as soon as you walk out to the store -30-40% - in the wrong direction - BOOM!

It is its own special form of entertainment!

Yep. Rolex Boutique in Korea had Daytona & GMT Master II (Pepsi on Jubilee) both marked exactly the same. I got to try them both on and was amazed at how well they sat on my wrist! I don't know if I'll ever own one of those watches, but they were very beautiful watches!
