Wife said me sub looks like a...

[Bt122]

Timex .

Exact words. “It’s nice, not as bulky as the other one you tried on, but it looks like a timex”. To be fair my wife loves the Rolex models... it just has to have diamonds.

I had to explain to her this is the quintessential dive watch etc etc.


“Ok”


Lol

[Mystro]

A lot of people believes a Rolex only looks like a “Rolex” unles it is gold and blinged out. It’s a comon stereotype.

Look on the bright side. Maybe she will be less inclined to borrow it.

Did you give her a spanking?

Ok that case i would be buying a few more a dashing they’re just a timex!

I showed my wife my new 16170 and her response was, “don’t you already have that one?” She thinks they all look the same!

In most non-wis people's mind, Rolex is TT jubilee DJ and YG DD.

I had to buy her a Tiffany diamond pendant to buy when she let me buy the sub ... there is never a bright side. My purchases are always 50% or less vs hers.

Daughter loves it tho. She’s 8. :)

Just like a timex, it can take a licking and keep on ticking.

[jhunter3]

Honestly, it's probably a good thing she doesnt really know the difference. The less she knows, the better....

Just kidding. Sort of.

My wife said my 116619 likes like a LVc except the color. I laughed

[rexG]

Perfect!!

[7Kenhinho]

My sister thought my Omega SMP 300 on a Nato was a Timex.

My wife thinks my Sub looks so much like a GMT II, and is not all that different from my Planet Ocean. “They all look the same to me”

Just tell her-
“Your diamonds look like cubic zirconia. And they are! How else do you think I can afford these watches?” Then start laughing.

A TRF member a few weeks back said the leopard Daytona and the LVC were similar

Your wife is still way ahead of that comment

Similar story - I picked up a 16710 Pepsi recently and already had a 16600 SD. She likes it but commented that she “wished it were bigger.” I showed her the new Deepsea and she said “Get that one!”

If you think she has right!
Many diver watch like( Timex, Seiko, even Longines) looks like Rolex Sub!!
But you need to explain that all this is inspired by Sub looks!!

Just remember to tell her that Timex copied Rolex. It's not the other way around.

I think you are right. General population knowledge and familiarization with the brand comes from the media (mostly movies, TV and advertizeents). Hence, the most iconic elements of the brand are all that reach the far end of the market.
