Rolex...ah Beng or Uncle Watch.

[rotan]

Seriously I don't really care how pp look at me. Bottomline is I kive my watches and I wear them with pride. Perhaps not a lot of pp know how to appreciate a watch, let alone a rolex. To these pp, I guess watches are only meant for time keeping purposes. But to watch lovers like us, it means much more than that... We love our watches and will continue to do so...

So young got Rolex. How old was Darkangel when he got he first rolex?

Same...14..

I think the rolex looks good on Darkie's wrist....

You might get to see it soon hehe...when u pick up your goodies.

The good thing about buying a rolex (DD solid gold) if you are young is:-

1)you are telling people I can afford it; and

2)you can wear it for the next 20 to 30 years until you become an Uncle or ah pek in yours 50s to 60s and then carry on wearing for another decade or more till you drop dead..

I could only afford my daytona and my white gold DD in my thirties and I intend to wear them till I become an uncle... so I can't go wrong with this watch right haha!

Somehow...after reading this...I m leaning towards the solid gold again for my next watch d-oh!

good point there and I agree with you 100%.

its interesting how people make the assumption that one becomes an uncle when someone buys a rolex or wears a rolex. I have been asked once by a good lady fren of my this question : - " Isnt rolex for uncles....eeek....so uncle you...." I was then 26. I was caught quite unawares. I drove an MPV when i had my first kid at 27 and everyone who saw me driving my picnic also said....eeekk.....so uncle one this fella....must be his father's car....

I have had stares and comments on my watch being fake, my car being my dad's and all sorts of things due to me being a little younger looking then usual...........then one day as i walked into a pub, something struck me.....hmmmm....good things age and are timeless......just like good wine..............so to all those who think that Rolexes are for uncles....think again......cos these are the things that make you appreciate the finer things in life....it may not be the most expensive.....but you are getting there.....(it helps when Rolexes design are timeless and now these days getting more modernised......slightly....that is....)

To all.....especially those here.....enjoy your watches and let those who see you from afar know that you've GOT IT and you are willing to FLAUNT it...ekkekekek....best of all.....know that you know somethings in life just cant be compromised.....

Reminds me of the Mercedes Car Advert....in life many things should be in reverse.....ekekekeke Cheers ALL!!

hmm... I think most of ppl who are in their 20s prefer PAMs... when they step into 30s they would have both PAM and rolex... when they step into 40s maybe all rolex liao... when they step into 50s they would have both rolex and patek... when they step into 60s maybe all patek liao....

Good analogy..I tend to believe that it is easier on my pocket for collecting the Rolex...however I wouldn't mind to go for Patek if I can managed to unload some of the Rolex collection...I like the advertisement of patek.." You never actually own Patek, you are merely looking after it for the next generation"..That is good..provide my descendent don't sell it when I turned to ashes... ...

Ah Pek only wear solid gold rolex.... Hopefully they do not catch on the trend of wearing the professional series hehe....

Sorry if I have offended anyone in this forum.... Not meant to flame ppl..
