Not at all. It’s just a watch.

I treat them all like crap; doesn't matter what they wear.

No - I always treat people with kindness unless they are disrespectiveful. In which case, I smile and let them know they are doing wrong and move on.

As a true humanist, I only talk to people wearing Rolex or anything above. The rest of the population is just not worthy of my time and higher class. In fact I profoundly despise anyone not wearing at least a Rolex, my wife, kids and dog included. As a result there are days I hate myself for wearing that shifty [.....] (insert any other brand) and the rest of it. With the steel sports scarcity and all, I sometimes struggle to find grocery stores where shop assistants wear a piece that meets my criteria. So I'd rather not buy anything and starve than speak to plebeans.

At times I wear my cheap non-Rolex watches just to observe those peasants. It allows me to blend in with the populace and study them in their habitat more naturally without external interference.

I make a point of rolling my left sleeve up, waving my left wrist about in an exaggerated motion and in a very loud voice say things like 'Do you know how important I am, I am wearing a Rolex' or 'What do you mean, there are no tables available, are you blind, cant you see Im wearing a Rolex'



Obviously none of the above.

Lol these are so funny!


When I am wearing my Rolex I look down on people that are shorter than me. Including the wife and kid. Despite them wearing their rolexes


However I look up at the taller folks. Sadly when they are wearing thier apples.


I’m not sure how Napoleon dealt with that...oh wait I do.

Yes. Whenever I am in public I wait for someone to notice my watch so I can make a thread about it on here.

If it’s a retail worker who misidentified it then I will laugh at them because clearly they can’t appreciate what a master of the universe type I am because I managed to make credit payments on a $10k piece of jewelry. Ha! That’ll teach them.

You guys are a bunch of ghetto lower class subhumans. Rolexes are for poor people. Unless you're wearing an AP RO Grande Complication when you leave the house, you are nothing.

At stop lights when ‘distracted drivers’ are being soooo rude by texting, eating, changing stations etc., I flash ‘em with sun rays reflecting off the bezel or cyclops to put them in their place. Then... I drive off in my ‘09 VW stuffed to the brim w/Costco TP & food items to show them who is boss!

Not only do I treat other people differently, I have an expectation that they will grovel. I love grovelling. Unfortunately I am routinely disappointed in that regard. People today simply don't know their place.

Here in California we have a misguided utopian law which requires grocery stores to charge an additional 10 cents for each grocery bag at checkout as an incentive to bring reusable shopping bags. When the plebian checkout boy asks me if I will be requiring bags I simply glare at him and flash my watch.

Absolutely YES!
I am much happier wearing my Rolex than when I'm not. Therefore I'm also more pleasant with others.

I reflect sunlight into other peoples faces trying to blind them because Rolex says it purposely doesn't treat the underside of sapphire crystals with AR coating in order for their watches to draw attention and be noticed by it's flashiness and reflectivity as if that's some sort of trademarked attribute and NOT because they're too cheap to do something that would obviously improve legibility of the dial since they know fanboys will buy into and repeat BS marketing as if it's fact.
