A big shot with all that money you like to brag about , but still insecure because you feel insulted.
just a fragile shell of a man decorated with bling.... reconfirmed what a precious & pretentious twat you are.

BTW: Rolex starting at $5000, is no measure of great wealth, ludicrous to think it is.
but you are entitled to keep your self delusion...i doubt you could cope without it.

Posting links to watch reviews upsets you?...truely bizzare.
what about links to car reviews, tool reviews or scope reviews, do they upset you too?

...or do you abuse them for it?


You either need some meds or you are taking the wrong ones.

Insulted because people question your Rolex bias waffle.

I actually don't mind the Rolex product, but I consider them rather overpriced for what the Co. offers.
theres no need for some Rolex owners/and non-owners to put other peoples choices down just to prop
their own preference up.Especially when Rolex itself is not positioned in the top most respected echelon
of luxurywatch making....but a schit load spend on tactile high profile Tier-1 sport associated marketing -
(F1, tennis, sailing, Olympics) makes many mistakenly think they are.

All those top level professional sports with Rolex signs everywhere, use official electronic timers not Rolex chronometers.

Anyone who considers Rolex a 'superb' watch, doesn't really know the world of grand mechanical watches,
better to save that spin for the salesroom and unsuspecting customers.

My dad paid 750 bucks for my Rolex GMT Master in 1980 when I got my wings. Today, the same watch sells for over 5-6K used. Been on my wrist since then with periodic ~5 year rehabs at the factory. Keeps superb time over a 30 year Navy/flying career, hunts all over the place and just plain every day use. By any valid measure of effectiveness, that qualifies as a "superb" watch. As I posted earlier, I too have one of the first Zenith's "El Primero" from 1971. High Maintenance. Beautiful watch, but it's been in my safe since I got the Rolex


A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”

Not a bad investment for something that ticked off over a billion seconds so far.

Rolex is a good watch...maybe even though the best of the cheap luxury watches. It occupies the Leupold slot in the watch world. That said, like scopes there are lots and lots of watches that offer 95% or more of the performance for a third or less of the price.

And in watches, unlike scopes, no matter what you say all the nice mechanical watches are vanity items when a $100 quartz Seiko will keep damn near perfect time for what is for all intents and purposes forever. It isn't about accuracy, reliability, or even durability because you can get that in a watch at Walmart that is better than a Rolex or any other mechanical watch.

I can't believe some grown men can get so twisted out of shape about what watch someone else might wear. Buy what you want and leave the other guy to do the same. Sheesh.

When I use the term "grown men" I'm pretty sure I'm not referring to Starman, so I'll simply say that I have no idea what his issues are.


It's official. I missed the selfie deadline so I'm Maser's sock puppet because rene and the Polish half of the fubar twins have decided that I am.

I don't care what anyone wears on their wrist, or what gun they shoot, or what beverage they drink...but Starfish enters every thread calling people names and throwing insults, obviously he seeks attention and enjoys drama.

I explained the technical differences between the Steinhart and Rolex brands, he didn't like the answer,,,then proceeded to insult other members choices in watch wear. Having simple civil conversations of worth here is a struggle, but he does it in every instance.

BTW: I never stated anywhere that I own a Rolex, if I desired Rolex models I'd have 5. I do have an extensive collection of German/Swiss pieces, many of them costing more than Rolex...and own them for my own pleasure. Not 1 member stated Rolex was the best built watch in the world, yet that it was a quality manufacturer with solid history and design elements.

Would be interesting to know how many people who make their living under water or in the air trust their navigation or time window underwater to Chinese timex quartz watches?

Most divers run a quality dive watch for a backup, and use a dive computer for elapsed time below surface....pilots generally use Pilot style watches(low lume hands & numerals, some times chrono style w/multi register).

I wear a watch everyday. Usually a Tag, but if I'm doing some work with my hands or outdoor stuff then the Luminox gets the nod. I have no problem with people wearing Rolex or Timex if that's what they want to do. It's their life.

What does bug me is all these non-watch wearers asking me what freakin' time it is!

You're bordering on sig line material here.

He's just another Sockpuppet/Troll. 30 days here with 800+ post and no real personal info just bragging and putting others down gets him to ignore pretty quickly.

We have a good troll hunting squad here when they put their mind to it and I'm sure they'll get around to "him" soon. In the meantime ignore works well.
