A jeweler friend told me that the fake Rolex watches in some cases kept better time than the real ones. I wouldn't want to risk getting mugged for a fake watch.
It was fun to watch that old boy's reaction. I'm happy for him.

I owned and operated a Licensed Rolex Agency in our store for many years. Rolex is a superb watch.
Karen has worn a Rolex Lady President for the last twenty-five years or so.
I wore Gents Presidents and Steel and Gold Rolexes for several years and finally settled on one I cobbled together. It's a stainless steel 16200 ... I replaced the dial and hands with those of a Submariner.
Hard to believe the stainless watch is now in excess of $7000. Still, it's a heck of a fine timepiece.
My "mongrel" watch is light, just the right size and I love the visible dial and hands. I'll post it below.

Steve, looks a lot like my Explorer; same black face and hands with different hour markers and the date magnifier. Must have been nice to be able to mix and match until you found the combo you liked.

I have a Rolex, and a Breitling too. Both very very nice and a waste of money. Never wear them because I don't want to damage them.
For day to day wear... it's a Timex.

Limited production:...Approaching a million watches made a yr from Rolex vs about 10,000 from Patek Philippe.
Personally I don't like tiny watches, and 1000000 units between 8000000000 consumers isn't flooding the market by any standard. That said, my watch seems to be worth more than two hundred and a half % of what I paid and I can live with that.

Kudos to those who own these. It's out of my range, but I've always thought of them as a sound investment, if you've got the green. My wife did several business trips to the Pacific Rim and came home with a Rolex knockoff she bought for her father. He wore it for about 10 years before it bit the dust. Not bad for a $10.00 purchase.
I have two. One I inherited from my dad. The other was a gift that each member of my team received from a Navy pilot that we extracted from a schidtstorm west of Qui Nhon. They were each inscribed, "Timing is everything". They keep crappy time but I still like them.
I always thought it would be bad karma to be mugged for a fake Rolex.

Yes. Status in today's world. Lot's of $40 digital units will be more accurate. The only time I worry about absolute accuracy though is when sniping on Ebay. Then I get out my GPS unit and grab stuff with about 2 seconds to go.
Forgot to mention this, but if you wear a Rolex it emits a force field that deflects incoming small arms fire. It also causes the fuses for incoming HE projectiles to rendered inoperable.

That's real. It's because of how loud the badass is.

I said nothing about the extreme of flooding the market , I just questioned the claim of Rolex being limited production. If a person can't go to a few authorised Rolex dealers in the same city and across different cities.. and not find a new SS-SubMariner in the window or safe for sale in each and every store, Id be very surprised.
I dont know what you mean by tiny ,...is a 40mm Submariner tiny..or a Patek Pilot Traveller at 42mm tiny?
