JJ, your reply made me actually laugh out loud! You're worth a million bucks my fiend! Heart on the sleeve

Having said that, many of those monstrosities are, in horological terms, light years away from what Rolex produces. But to be honest, I can't get used to them as well. Too alien

Have you seriously tried telling the REAL time on any one of those? I'm completely baffled!!

By the time I could figure out the time whilst driving, I'd be several feet up the front guys arse!!

I'm great, JJ. I have ended my career, as of last Thursday, and am taking my residual vacation through the entire month of July to my "official" retirement date of July 31st.

And as for the hijack, I believe we have already pulled it off in fine style, my friend!!!

But I'm not MOST people. I like to call a spade a spade. If those watches look like CRAP, then that's exactly what I call them!!!

May I make one tiny observation? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder! You find they are the worst atrocities that EVER left a watchmaker's hands but perhaps there are others who think otherwise Stevland Hardaway Morris is one of them
