I would love to get a sub. I have my father's oyster day/date stainless from the early 60's (I think) and my own day/date in stainless that my wife bought me for my 50th birthday. I have worn my own one about 2 times and wear my dad's one daily because of the memories and my wife understands and does not hold it against me. I made the offer to get her a Rolex but she preferred the Seiko version of the watch.

I graduated high school and still had to ask my Mom if it was OK to go hang out with my friends after.

I think you guys need to calm down. He might just be nice kid who's proud he got a sweet gift, and everybody's getting on his ass about it. I'm not sure why everyone assumes he's just here to tell you stories.

Doesn't phase me one way or another to be frank.
As I mentioned, doesn't impact the one on my wrist in any way.

However, some folks have called you out on this now and frankly, having now witnessed this response via mobile device, what they have raised is valid in terms of a photo.
Take a quick photo of your wrist and post it. I would be neat to see how it looks on your wrist.

After that, man would you have made them eat their words.
Just from a semi wise old man.

I for one demand a picture, regardless of quality, which includes the following:

Your face
The watch
Todays newspaper
Proof of age(ie; State ID, Birth Certificate)
and Proof of purchase(Notarized, of course)




J/k.

What he said... If your lying, it's not my problem, so I don't care.

If not, make haste with the picture of that beautiful man-bracelet, so those of us that can't afford one can ogle it.

How do we know that is your wrist and your watch? You could have gotten that photo off of the internets.

Hmmm... You may be right, the watch is showing EST time while Darrell supposedly lives on the West Coast?

I work with a rather large fellow whose arms are bigger than my whole body.

He was a walk on DB for the Florida Gators and never made it to the NFL.

He is down on his finances and can barely make rent.

On his wrist is a two tone Rolex that I would guess would cost more than 10k in a store.

A couple guys were teasing him about his "fake Rolex" and I stayed out in fear of a punch in the face as well as the fact that I couldn't give a rat's ass if it was fake or not as mine is real.

These are the same group of guys who told me "real men don't have Shih Tzus" when I brought one for my little girl who was devestaed at Christmas when our Border Collie died.

They're also the last salesmen out on rotation because they spend so much time figuring out who is a real man and can't sell ****.

The conversation became awkward when he explained his father was a Marine who died and left it for him and he would rather sleep in the street than sell it.

You just never know, and if Colin is making up stories to be so much cooler online, he's the one that has to look at himself in the mirror every day.

If he's telling the truth, more power to him.

For the sake of drama, I'll check back later to see if he posted a pic and I probably have an extra digital camera laying around if he is down on his finances.
