"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!

It really stands out on your tanned skin, more than usual.

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.

Everyone has to start somewhere, don’t be so ignorant or obnoxious of people working in what you may deem “lower class” jobs.

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!

Would you ask him where is family live? And make a photo of him??
I literally would not give a shit and probably i would take this guy his opinion as a joke, guess it was just his sense of humor..

Remember that pickels does look like crocodiles

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."
