So my friend came over...
I have a friend from school who came over for lunch the other day. Now lemme tell you a bit about this guy. Well, he loves to talk BIG and show off when almost 99% of the times its very very obvious he is lying. So he comes over and starts texting on his phone right away and then looks at me and say "My new Blackberry..." I just smiled and said "its nice" (I have one too but cheaper and he knew it). Not enough for him he adds, "its for $700". Still getting no reaction he continued to talk about his high paying Job and soon the conversation took an interesting turn when he started to talk about watches, Rolex in particular.
He said he was looking to buy a Rolex or a TAG but wasnt too sure about the dial size of the Rolex. So I suggested he could try mine on for size. He suddenly looked at me with an absolutely stunned expression on his face. "You have a Rolex???". I said yeah and showed my Sub to him. He barely had it in his hand for 5 secs when he just yelled out "FAKE!! You can't fool me!" and then to mine and my brother's (who is also into watches) amusement started pointing out things that he was certain aren't there on a real Rolex: 1) there is no engraving so it has to be fake 2) The clasp is flimsy - Fake! 2) The crown doesn't look right 3) The bezel looks fake 4) Movement looks fake And this was coming from a guy who wears a cheap Timex If that wasn't enough, that cheapskate bet $20 on it being a fake. He refused to believe me unless I could get an expert to prove that it was indeed a genuine Rolex. I told him I'll take that bet and in fact pay him $1000 if it was indeed a fake but all he has to do is pay to the RSC for the auntentication charges. Suddenly he muttered that he had to go meet someone urgently and refused to pay me the $20 and later had the audacity to call me and give a me a speech on why I should not buy fake products! He just couldn't digest the fact that I could ever have a Rolex Also he stopped showing off his Balckberry after that |

Sounds like he needs to be downgraded from friend to acquaintance.

Never Defend!!!!
Dude!?!?!?!?????
You messed up!!!!! You should have told him right away it was a fake!!!! (even though you know it is real). Whenever anybody asks me if my Rolex is fake, I say "of course it is" which confuses the hell out of them By trying to convince an insecure idiot like your friend, you got sucked in by an energy vampire.

I do the exact same thing. Then they examine the watch and say "WOW that is a good knock off." And I always offer to sell it to them for $50. They always do, and I always say "let me see if my wife doesn't mind. She bought it for me in China Town NYC." Then i laugh inside

I'd tell him to take his blackberry and stick it up his you know what. No wonder he doesn't have much friends.

Well I'm not sure how to read this post; you call him your "friend" and you "dis" him on this forum and of course get all the predictible responses - none of which I necessarily disagree with. But.....isn't the main issue really how you handle your friendship with this guy.
I mean, clearly this aspect of his personality irritates you - so do you confront him with, it or continue to brace yourself when you see him, bite your lip or try to beat him at his own game. All of which sounds stressful. Personally I'd be winding down the "friendship". Yours Sincerely "Dr Phil"(Rolex lover) |

sounds like you called his bluff, doubt he will try it on again Downgrade him from a friend to an acquaintance until he learns some manners
