Is this about the satirical article someone else posted where Facebook buys Rolex?

I have tuned out from the fish since #13 hung them up 20 years ago. Notice the old logo.

What else, what else? Or at least a way for each individual to get the watch that he wants.

If it's do with waitlists - I've heard whispers that Rolex are moving from a waitlist system to a more complicated system

A complex algorithm that determines the cut of your jib.

I mean seriously, "are your really Rolex material????"

DO YOU MEASURE UP????????

Do you wear socks with sandals?

Is that a comb over?

You get the idea.......the times they are a changin'.

I think a lot of people are gonna find out all they can buy now is a Tudor.

Batteries...that’s it...batteries.

Oh, and a Mars Watch -
Omega already has the Moon covered, so Rolex takes the trademark
“Mars-Dweller”

It's an algorithm.

In mathematics and computer science, an algorithm is a finite sequence of well-defined, computer-implementable instructions, typically to solve a class of problems or to perform a computation.

Unless of course it's and anti-algorithm. Then it's the opposite.

Hope this helps.

And an algorithm is NOT related to "does Al Gore have rhythm" which is an entirely different discussion that often floats around the internet.

I heard some news from AD that they will be pumping the production up for the new model and as well as SS models too in coming months and next year.

And some more other news which really is a groundbreaking if true.
