Rolex Owners?..

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.

Good Points, Pete!

Pete,
No doubt.
As I said earlier, people do things for various reasons.
Different strokes for different folks.

I use to deliver pizza in Newark in my late teens/early 20's.
I would be in all the projects in the area dropping off pizzas on the corners as would not go into the buildings.
However, each and every time I showed up in the projects, there were freaking Caddy's everywhere. New ones no less.
These were very poor people that lived in conditions I would die if I ever experienced that.
Meantime, here I am, living in a very nice town, with nice furniture and stuff, driving a Toyota Corolla.
They chose to spend their last penny on Caddy's and live in run down projects with little or beat up furniture while I chose to spend my money on a nice home and drive a Toyota Corolla.

Different strokes, for different folks. Whatever makes you happy.

Does not matter to me whether he has one or not; it’s pretty lame if he is lying though. What will be a truth or fiction when posts from there on in? It’s not worth talking BS on forums or bragging about you have.

One thing I know is true, no matter how many Rolex, cigars, hot babes, max bench press… someone else has got more, done more. Pissing contests are futile, and if you have a health issue or no joy in life, it’s all in vain.

I know people that probably have more than all of us on this thread, and they would trade it all for a solid crap and a positive outlook on life. Enjoy what you have, be thankful you have the health to enjoy it, and the grass is not greener.

Agree 100%. A friend of mine owns one of the largest and best known diamond places in NYC, you would never figure out he does if you'd look for "signs" of watches or jewelry, he's just not in "show" and many others aren't, either.

And while we're awaiting "proof"... Imagine a high school kid approaching someone on a street in OH and ask if he can snap a picture of the man's Rolex. What could go wrong?

Excellent words of wisdom.

I'll stay.

In any large community (group of people), there is bound to be conflict and difficult people. But, by and large, I think this is a pretty cool place. And I honestly believe most of our members like it here. If they don't, there are plenty of other boards out there that may be more to their liking. No community will be suitable for everyone.

I must have missed those threads.
Lots is quite a statistical statement given the number of threads on this board. Statistically speaking, Lots truly only applies to all the good stuff there is in fact. Lotta, well, heck if know what that is (poking fun, not ill willed).

Thanks for sharing, but we still need the picture of the watch to include a copy of today's newspaper in order to properly authenticate the date. Just kidding! Nice watch.
