Rolex Crown Tramp Stamp

I saw a very attractive young woman the other day....small, brunette, muscular, svelte with healthy lungs....nice blue eyes like a mountain pond. She was wearing the newly traditional low cut $400 designer jeans, and when she turned around to put her groceries on the counter, she exposed a nicely done Rolex Crown tramp stamp on her lower back. She saw my amused look and also saw my LV and smiled. Pretty funny. She obviously knew the crowd she was wanting to impress. I will see her there again, nasty little thing that she is. This is at our high end grocery store where romance happens among the legumes.

KA-schwiiiing!!!

But, she might be like the brand she wears; expensive, beautiful and inspiring admiration but with occasionally shockingly-poor quality control issues not easily fixed even in servicing..............as long as its not someone else regulating her mainspring

That is right.....That is all I need....a chick like that around me with my Rolex "problem"......that stamp did look nice, however, and its display case too.

Yeah, that would be a "high maintenance" situation, and believe me, I know that world all too well. I suppose an occasional winding of the crown would suffice, but one would want to avoid a longer tenure with the movement.

I'm a big fan of tramp stamps. Trying to talk my wife into getting one, but she won't go for it Maybe she would think the rolex stamp would be classy

Tramp stamp, skag tag, they're so common they seem more like a uniform. Although the Rolex crown is something a little different.

More than likely not. As a matter of fact, I believe that particular "model" has been flipped several times! And be certain to have an authorized RSC rep to closely examine the movement, applying adequate amount of lubricant and follow up with appropriate windings to the crown, and polish it to finish the job!

No offence taken but you'll have to explain that one to me. Of course, once you explain I might take offence.

This chick sounds like quite a prize.............................NOT!

She's what my friends and I call a f&*k -and-Chuck!

Any broad willing to permanently scar her body up with a corporate logo like Rolex, or Adidas, or Lacoste, or Mercedes, etc, has to be f$%ked up Royally in the head.

Ok, I went back to the store tonight to get some "legumes" as I do stop by there most nights. I live in a village really...beautiful little town, so this is the "market" where the glitterati will collide. There are actual celebs in this little Oregon town, and I though maybe this was the girlfriend of one of them or some LA chick up here. Anyway, I asked the cashier who was there the other night if he could keep an eye open cause if I can engage her in conversation, I may tell her that I admire the tramp stamp being a Roller fan, and see if I can snap a phone pic for you guys.

I do agree that a chick like this is probably pretty messed up to mar her body with a corporate logo....and one who is obviously shallow enough to thing that such would attract another rich, shallow man. But I must say, she is a nasty little thing. I am aware of that.
