"Is that a ROLEX"???? ------> funny encounter
So I'm down the shore on vacation with my family and we are riding the rides on the boardwalk. I'm wearing my Sub-C as it's the perfect beach watch - no doubt.
I go to get on a kiddie roller coaster with my young daughter and the ride attendant stops in his tracks and goes "IS THAT A ROLEX"??????? He was a 17-18 year old young kid wearing big glasses and a uniform for the amusement park. I say "that's a real good guess"..... He responds "man do you know what a total waste of money that is? it's worth nothing once you wear it!" NOTHING! I laughed so hard.... man oh man. Young jedi has a lot to learn. I was expecting him to say "man thats cool" but he really made me laugh with that comment. Guess all you guys are screwed! As a side note this Sub-C gets a LOT of comments and attention.... seems like everyone knows what it is. My 16570 Polar Dial Exp 2 got zero attention!

Youth is wasted on the young. God I’m old.
In 4th grade my daughter says kids were drawing Rolexes on their wrists. When she asked if I had one and I said I do, in fact two, it was a big deal. I think she told her friends and they were very impressed. |

I would have grabbed him by the scruff of the neck and walked him straight to his manager !
He’s an employee of the park , whether you don’t like someone’s watch , shoes or any part of their attire , you don’t yell out your opinion like a clown! |

The kid is obviously ignorant. Also, quite rude and I would have told him so.

I would have given him my business card and said "When you're ready, you could trade me a Rolex Submariner for an Apple watch. You'll get something for nothing- it's a no brainer."
