Owners got a Cellini and a Calatrava.
Saw a kid with a backwards cap squinting into the sun holding his hand to his brow where the bill would be -
Literally cant figure out how a cap works.
What does his wife say about him being a couch potato ?
Oh we are both couch potato's but we worked so hard when we were young we deserve it.....

Or attract unwanted attention.Hey, in today's world that is not nothin'... plus it can act as travel insurance with the natives if things go sideways in some remote jungle...
Wearing a Rolex when you travel can actually keep you safe
And other important things to keep in mind while travelling, according to experts.economictimes.indiatimes.com
Thieves know the market in watches.
Strapping several thousand dollars to your wrist might result in ugly consequences.
In many parts of the world, your life is worth far less than your Rolex.
Going through one to get to the other is a real possibility.
All of this Rolex talk reminds me when O.J. Simpson was spotted by Ron Goldman, wearing a Rolex in a television interview. (He had won a $30 million dollar civil judgement against him).
Goldman immediately phoned his attorney, and told him to get it as a partial payment for what O.J. owed him. Turned out it was a $200.00 fake.

The sub with green bezel "Kermit" will set you back 20k or more....
I dont know of any sub with pepsi dial but the GMT does....it will set you back 25k or more .......one of the most sought after Rolex models on the planet right now.
Yup.
In many places its best use is a bargaining chip for your life.
I try not to wear expensive watches in these places.
Thats a really nice collection. Im down to just a few.

Ive also now got a hobnail calatrava and an AP ultra thin off camera.
While I have and wear many watches don't know why. This is the only time piece I really need;
Somebody pointed out that if not for us old farts ....car clubs would be gone in 6 months.....
Im a member of a Mustang car club.....the youngest member is 54.....oldest is 75?.....average is 60 to 65.
of course my wife's grandson would say "its because we dont have any money" we cant afford a stang....
I told him yeah your broke because you piss it all away....and he makes like 60k+ a year
I bought my 08 Bullitt used with 25k miles for 15k.... spent 1200 on some body work that looked like somebody hit it in a parking lot....presto looks as good as new.
You dont need to spend 40k on a new one ....besides insurace would kill you because of the DWI.
He would rather ***** and moan about baby boomers taking all the money etc.
