If you want to.

I have a seiko. I paid 280, I thought that was much too steep for a watch. I found it online later that week for 180. I know I'll never exceed 200 again for a watch. There's just no need.

I loved the Diesel I had, just can't afford a box. :/

I don't have the unlimited cigar fund going.. I am a student, so finding the least expensive, good sticks is my priority.

Know anywhere I can get Opus X singles?

I am a high school student, so I know how you feel!

I am sorry, please explain, and I will try to clear it up for you.
Never mind. I just looked up the single Opus X and saw the price.. I didn't know that they were that expensive!!!' I am guessing that is what was confusing everyone..

Since I throw pocket change and singles and fives into a jar on top of my dresser every night, that will become my new cigar fund.

Just the change I accumulate from the gas station, convenience store, vending machines, wal mart/target. Stuff like that.

I also have a few Omegas, tag heurs, and other assorted watches.

I wish my camera would charge faster so I could take some pictures

My dad and I split the cost as I have made a 3.5+ for my entire high school career so far

Once Again: B.S. is what I hear and everyone else is welcome to make their own decision.

I wasn't going to say too much until I came across his post in the golf banter.....

"par 4 teed it up and hit over close to the treeline, right under a branch. 50 yards out hit my 7 popped it right next to the pin (8 feet out) tapped it in for birdie.

If this kid knew anything about golf he would know what iron to use when 50 yards from a cup.

Pitch and run?
I personally suck at golf so I don't make believe I know how to play it.

Anyway...

Although given the pictures are not really clear, it does appear to be a Daytona.

well being a kid, although old enough to probably have over 50yds range on his 7 iron, I would believe it except for the fact that he would not hit his drive 50yds out on a par 4 if that were the case. Also why would you use a higher loft club if you were right under a tree?

Simple, he said he was under a branch....you will not be hitting anything straight above your head so using a higher iron isn't an issue. Also, he said he meant his 9 iron so bringing this up is useless.

How is this thread even allowed to continue?

Ya know, if I stopped buying cigars, pipes, and pipe tobaccos for a while I could probablybuy a Rolex with what I'd have...hmmm....watch? Nah, got two already, and I bust them up fast...wouldn't want to do that to a Rolex...

Though I can't for the life of me figure out why. Nothing interesting about a Rolex to me. Patek, Vacheron, Lange, those are another story

well there are many ways to be under a tree and not hit it 90* in the air and still clip a tree.... and if you are 50yds out trying to drop it on the green, you generally get a pretty decent amount of air under your ball, hence the worry of hitting a tree.

Not to mention, you wouldn't use a 7 iron to make that shot, unless you only hit a 7 iron 50 yds.... and if he drove it to within 50yds of the green on a par 4, chances are he can hit a 7 iron more than that distance.


but I digress, and am going to try like hell to let this thread die haha

As a Rolex owner, if I said it was the looks that attracted me, it would be akin to saying I am going blind, although classic beauty appeals to me.

If I said I had a clue how the insides worked, I'd be a liar.

I brush it lightly with a toothbrush and mild detergent when it's dirty and get pissed when I have to reset it after 2 days off and it stopped running from not being worn. Looks as good as the day I got it.

If I said I'm a closet materialistic jerk who likes the look of it on my wrist, I'd be speaking accurately. I bought it solely because of the name and what my perception of that name is.

I enjoy talking about it with fellow Rolex owners and normally avoid conversations with those who don't own one as there is usually too much explaining for me.

For me, it represents something that was a total spluge and was something I always wanted butalways had other stuff I needed to pay for first. The years went by, and I was in my 40's and although it wasn't on the top of my priorities, it remained a strong desire.

Aside from a wedding band, it is the only piece of jewelry I will wear.

Every time I put it on my wrist, it reminds me of 2007, my best sales year ever, before the recession was a thought, and something only for me as the floors and kitchen were being done for my wife.

In hindsight, the money could have been better spent in a more responsible way, but I'm glad it wasn't.

Probably makes some think less of me, but in the vast majority of the cases, that's totally cool with me.

Colin, I hope yours brings you happiness, even if it's fake.

King James do you have a reading disability? I said I used a 9 iron. Typing on my virtual keyboard on my phone in class is a pain.
