Hey Guys,

Just got a picture message from my friend who just now met Gian Riccardo Marini! at a restaurant in Geneva!!!!!

For those of you who don't know he is the CEO of Rolex !

They were at dinner and he was wearing a Vintage Daytona Black Dials, think it may have been a Paul Newman? Don't quote me on that!

Anyways my friend cheekily asked him for a discount on a Rolex!

He explained ''The price of a Rolex is painful once, but you will forget about it, its beauty will last forever.''

Thought this would be a good one to share!

Pic will follow soon!

Was he having dinner WITH him or just saw him in the restaurant?

I really like that quote, it's reminds me of Rolls Royce and is so true. It's a lot of money but one of the few things we can use for life and pass onto someone after.

Ps. Great post and thanks for sharing! I guess I would never even have recognized him so the fact your friend did is amazing in itself.

The price of a Rolex is painful every 5-7 years.

... and you don't even get the old parts back.

Great story. :-)

Sounds like the CEO is ready at whim with advice. ;-) Its probably his catch phrase and all round go to when he needs something profound on the spot. LOL Its a good saying. :-D

DCgator · 24 January 2014, 03:44 PM

Very profound, if you will.....

DCheeta · 24 January 2014, 05:13 PM

We must all be masochists then! Its painful, but how I love that pain..

AK797 · 24 January 2014, 05:32 PM

Nice story, but you should have asked why they don't return your old dial or at least offer to pay for it when you want to buy a new one? That's pain that will never go away.

Sure you will Ken, just look for a midget sized guy with a button downed shirt.

PS. When you do don't forget to disturb him while having dinner with stupid Rolex questions.
