What's your definition of a bad experience?
Do you have an example yourself?

Passed a kidney stone while wearing a Daytona. It was a very bad experience. Otherwise every other moment has been sheer bliss. Thanks for your concern.

There was this one time I was wearing my Rolex and I thought it was my Apple Watch. I tried using it to pay for stuff in the grocery shop, but, no matter how many times I waved it in front of the card scanner, it just would not work. Not to mention having no idea how many steps I had done to get to the shop in the first place. Absolute disaster.
Worst. Day. Ever.

Seriously man? It's a damn watch. I can personally tell you I could care less about what people think of me, period. Let alone the watch on my wrist.

Was on a Sales Call - had to be almost 30 years ago - in Alabama. Probably 1986. Guy called me out for wearing a Rolex and said "don't come down here flashing your fancy watches"! The only time anybody ever called me out on it. Needless to say I was a young cocky bastard then with a new (relatively) DJ.

Only bad experience i had was on a dutch watch forum where they were overreacting and jealous about my watch collection so they attacked me. And because i was defending myself i got banned and the attackers were happy after that.
Stupid people

But less than a month later they rehired me. Good |

LOL... I was at a funeral last month when my brother-in-law felt the need to tell a group of people how much he thought my wife’s MOP datejust with a domed diamond bezel cost... Talk about the proverbial turd in the punch bowl. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

yeah actually...
While wearing my Submariner, I saw Ryan Gosling at a grocery store in Los Angeles. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying. The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter. When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly. |
