If it had been Rolex instead of United, they would have sued him for slander, kicked a puppy and clubbed a baby seal on their way into the court room.

If you look hard at how Rolex does business, how they treat business partners, how the government has had to intervene to keep them from acting illegally, how they had to pay fines for violating consent decrees, etc., none of this is surprising in the slightest.

This is the essence of Rolex as a business...

And people still line up and put up with all of the nonsense. Amazing the power of advertising.

This thread just reinforces my distaste for wearing either of the two I own.

The last time I wore one my wife looked at my wrist that evening and casually said, "Feeling insecure about your place in the world?"

🤔🤦

I’ll free you of your burden and give you a nice shiny Casio of which you can feel proud.

Thinking about launching my new shitty microbrand...

LexRo.
What about calling it "Rimmer" or "Rimming" that way you are sure they wont sue you for having a similar name.

Next on Rolex’s lawsuit list because people may be confused about their affiliation:

Bolex cameras- they don’t exist anymore but they will sue anyone using one or having one in their collection

Self explanatory- see above


They use a material called Tolex for cover the amps- too close
Name sounds close enough if you’re drunk

Same

Spandex

As above

Rolex is likely going to demand a list of all people who have bought those products to determine whether they are worthy of using them, because they might be associated with their watch brand - especially the femenine products

Herein lies the brilliance, and efficacy, of social media: It will be a long time, if ever, that I will gaze at my various Rolex watches, and not spontaneously think, “douche bag.”

Further, just for fun, I would love to be a fly on the wall to hear a private conversation between some of the upper echelon executives, at, let’s say, Omega, upon hearing about the Rolex debacle:

Raynald: “Did you hear about the PR nightmare those fυck-tards at Rolex walked into? Let’s have a drink.”

Yea …sadly that will be the case for me as well. We should all buy a clock from these ladies. As penance if you will. 24 bucks on Amazon..wish I had grand kids.

If I change my OF screen name to hanswilsdorf, how long do you think that it will take before I get sued? ::stirthepot::

I guess it depends on if he trademarked his name 😉

Don't forget this purveyor of watches.
