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 you need to upgrade your friends.

Deyn Man · 14 December 2009, 05:44 PM

huh?!? and you were allowed to post in this forum all this time?!?

hahahahahaha!

should have suggested he buys some cheap watch brand instead!

erasuretim · 14 December 2009, 06:17 PM

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

now that's when I'd have told him exactly where to go....

gmtobsessed · 14 December 2009, 08:02 PM

You call it friend?

limenko · 14 December 2009, 08:03 PM

You were pretty calm about that, I would have told him where to go.

jake · 14 December 2009, 08:22 PM

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.

Puffy · 14 December 2009, 08:23 PM

Sounds like a complete twat.

And I would have a long time ago, but this guy is a BIG cry baby and every time I tell him to cut it out, he starts crying about how we have been friends since so long and all that crap. He really doesn't have any good friends apart from me and my brother because of his annoying habit. But most of the time its really ammusing to hear his great achievements and stuff like how his grand dad has a house with 45, thats right FORTY FIVE bedrooms!!

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

jdc · 14 December 2009, 09:20 PM

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

He is a decent chap as long as he doesn't start with the bragging. I have tried confronting him on three occasions, but he just doesn't quit. Moreover I feel sorry for him because he doesn't have a lot of friends. Over the years, me and my brother have learnt to tolerate him and stop confronting him unless he gets way out of hand. Also at times its really amusing to hear some of his stories like years ago when Car CD players were just introduced in the market, his uncle had a Ferrari with a CD player which could hold 36 CDs at one time.

not only a cheapskate and a tightarse.... should have convienced him to bet on his new BB

BarkMaster · 14 December 2009, 11:07 PM

Sounds like he is very insecure and needs constant validation.

Those types generally take more from a relationship than they add.

bandityo · 14 December 2009, 11:21 PM

Lol..sounds like hes the fake!

novae500 · 14 December 2009, 11:29 PM

jealous jealous.. he was braggin on his $700 BB....why have a phone cost more than your watch??? Heck my Motorola razor got wet and stopped working...So i took my wife's old pink razor and using it...Thru my sim card in and works...i can get a free upgrade, but don't want to pay the $18upgrade fee for another phone..

I'll just find some torx screwdrivers and take my blue razor and replace the pink parts.

Nicko16 · 14 December 2009, 11:31 PM

Sounds like a Knob who was bit jealous you had the Rolex on your wrist.

You handled yourself well!

WatchTimes · 14 December 2009, 11:31 PM

sakuraba · 15 December 2009, 12:03 AM

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

valentine · 15 December 2009, 12:38 AM

what a douchebag....

dalip · 15 December 2009, 12:50 AM

my response is always "it's as fake as you are real"

brkanand · 15 December 2009, 12:53 AM

You friend requires professional counselling, to beign with.

AWATCH · 15 December 2009, 12:56 AM

I don't know if I would call him a Friend?
