I'm a bit disappointed that the "wanta watch" gag failed to achieve trajectory, though.

hmmmm is that anything like the movie FAILED TO LAUNCH???

From the sound of the question, if you paid too much you have then you have the most "expensive" watch here. Paying full MSRP with 8.5% sales tax on an Air-King beats a Cosmograph at $10 off MSRP.

Hmmm...what happened to the self-destruct bit, James?

You tossers made a hash out of a thread that started off on the wrong foot....but I have been laughing my guts out for the last couple of minutes!!

That's why I love this place SO much and you guys too!

So how much do you make a year, Frans?

20 September 2006, 05:07 AM

JJ has the most expensive Rolex here. He's bought each model at least twice over and still keeps buying and replacing the same ones.

Well, the list of RSVP’s I received from other TRF members is endless. I might squeeze you in around 2021!

Hmmm...on second thoughts, let's see....

2 x Exp-II
1 x SD

Opposing Counsel, your honour, ladies and gentlemen of the jury... I rest my case.

Personally I think JJ should be knighted. (No pun intended). He, and others like him, is all a company could ever whish for. Loyal brand followers to the hilt. “Is there life after Rolex?”. I assume that some Rolex forums are watched by Rolex employees, perhaps to trap illegal fake trade. If you are: invite the man over to Geneva and give him the watch of his dreams, he has earned this by now, you skin flints!

When the present JJ with his honorary degree in Rolex & a watch, it would only be fitting if, say, Maria Scharapova (sp) did the honors.

You've got that right my Canadian friend! Just look at the box you get with a Sub! I know it is all window dressing and it's all about the watch but really... faux leather on cardboard, I tell you. Not a pearwood box like with a Panerai, nooooooo, too much trouble

I concur 100%.

I mean, yes you wear the watch... but look at the nice box (and extra strap and screw driver) you get with a Panerai. Look at the beautiful box you get with a Blancpain.

Rolex's crappy boxes have always been a sore point with me. For what they charge, you'd think a better box would be available with ALL their watches.

Well, Rolex4EvEr has acknowledged the faux pas and more importantly, this thread's just too damned amusing. I'm going to leave it be.

Launch Mini · 20 September 2006, 12:10 PM

I would have to say my Rolex is up there in cost also

Less than a year ago, I had an Airking ( about 15+ years old)
I came to TRF to do some research on th SS Sub. Now look where I landed.
Planning on flying to TO to do dinner with some other WIS'
No complaints from me

Damned rich Dutchies. Hoard it all for themselves. Won't share with the rest of the impoverished world.

Frans isn't really Dutch, is he?
