invisible_r Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 I have a really cool clock, I bought it from covent garden market five years ago, it's in the shape of a t-shirt, and it has all the gigs the doors did during... can't remember what year, but it's wicked! oh I have a tag too, I felt more comfortable with the tag than the rolex i think because it's less flashy (or not? ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted October 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 Strike the modesty , Invisible , you have a real Rolex; enjoy and care for it ... sit up straight , too, you are all hunched ... ! So far , Tags, seem to be the watches of choice for the gents ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcM Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 I had a Rolex when I was married to my first wife. She owns a bail bonds business (no, I did not recommend her to people I arrested...)and took a gold Rolex from a pimp as payment. I got to wear it since it was a man's watch. As cool as it was to have a pimp's watch, I did not care for the thing. It was too flashy and it would stop running after I took it off at night since it was one of those kinetic do dads.

edna Posted October 15, 2005 Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 Hey, rachel, about the Rolex, how much would be worth it? I would have to look for mine and sell it... seems with that money I could pay the rent for three months!!! Now, I hope the person who gave it to me didn´t buy it on the street on Seventh Av...

Kevin Posted October 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 I once bought a "Roblex" off some dude in an alleyway in Philadelphia. It had ten "dymonds" in it. I Presbyterianed him down to 10 bucks. I really liked that watch....well, for the two months or so that it worked. Well , at least they gave you a fighting chance with the name ; here and espacially in China , they have no worries about duplicating them completely-- name and all ! BTW , did it keep decent time while you had it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invisible_r Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 I have no idea edna, it was a gift, I guess alot though, it is a rolex! maybe if you look for oyster perpetual online you can get some prices Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 I am told it would be over a thousand euros... I´d have to get the big box from the closet, look for it, hope it´s still there, see if it still works, then hope it´s not a fake... the platinum ring left some green stuff on my finger when I removed it!!

Kevin Posted October 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 (edited) You should definately get it cleaned and serviced , Edna . It's really not all that expensive , if you consider the disappointment you may feel years from now if its kind of ruined from age , humidity , or just general neglect . You can always give it to a friend / family member if you really never use it , as well . That said , I should quit talking and do the same with mine ( not a Rolex, though ! ) . My wife gave me a Breitling Navitimer ( similar to a Tag , I guess ) , and the instruction book said to get it serviced every 3-4 years . It's been 5 now, but I don't want to be without it for weeks ( keeps great time ) . Maybe I could get by with a nice Casio for a few weeks , though . Some of them have quite fun, but mostly useless, functions . Or Sammy could hook me up with that guy in the alley in Philly ...

miamisammy29 Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 I thought plantains were smaller. Eh, whatever. I'm of Italian descent, so how 'bout we just say I have a ZUCCHINI for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bazooka Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 I Presbyterianed him down .. One of Father Guido Sarducci's best lines. Several years ago, I had the good fortune to see Father Guido 'live'. He opened for Leon Redbone. How's that for an offbeat show? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earth-Angel Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 Oh I'm with Amy on the fun and cheapie variety, but I rarely wear them and they always end up in the box for the charity we volunteer for. I've had a lot of watches, and I still have most of them. At one stage, I flat out refused to wear a watch but they started to intrigue me and I got into semi collecting them. Now I wear a pretty pink leather and silver DKNY one my boyfriend bought for an anniversary last year There is one watch, (could I call it my dream watch?) that I saw on an advertisement that was love at first sight, but I haven't been able to find it for purchase anywhere I have looked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
