Craziest thing you've done in the name of Rolex.

What is the craziest thing you've done in the name of Rolex? Some say that Rolex people are fanatics; others say they are just people with too much time on their hands. What have you done? Have you:

1. Worn a T-shirt displaying the Rolex emblem.

2. Worn separate watches on each arm to display not only your love but devotion to the maker.

3. Had your barber/stylist shave a Rolex crown in your head as a symbol.

4. Shaved the hair around your wrist, as to better display your watch.

5. Had a tattoo placed on your forehead which read "will do just about anything for Rolex."

What have you done?

Almost #2. I did wear one watch on each arm for a while since I have yet to get a winder. They had both stopped so I figured how else to charge them both up? Looking back at it.. I got alot of weird looks.

Craziest thing I did in the name of Rolex? Easy - I became a mod here. Now I have to put up with all manner of Rolex loony on the Internet.

James, I want to sell my ticket to Basel!

I got buyer's remorse!

Special price for you: 5 US $, but the room will be the same.

Now, can I put it for sale here, or in classifieds?

For me; Buying 4 Rollies within a years time frame. I know that's pocket change for some but for me, I had to work hard for it.

I actually have one!

I have never worn it, though. I had it designed as a unique piece many years ago. I will post a pic of it later.
