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....

Haha thats wat I thought so.... As I stepped into the big 30, my interest for Rolex grew.... Could be due to age or is it jus me....

But I love my PAM as much hehe...

wonder when will be the time when I fancy Solid Gold rollies. When that time comes, I can be called ah pek.............................................or DarkAngel

or are you stepping into the uncle category... ha ha... just kidding... no personal attack huh...

No such thing as Rolex=Uncle... I got my first rolex when I was 14... and I see many young film/TV stars also wear rolex... so I don't see why Rolex=Uncle...

There was a time I had the perception that people wearing Rolex belongs to the uncle category. As time passes by, the perception began to fade and now as Rolex keeps improving on its time pieces and marketing strategy, I would safely say that Rolex has improved its image.

So what do you guys think?

I'm jus happy now I got both my dream watches.... Impressive collection you have there Bro... I can only dream...

[rotan]

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..

I think you improve your taste, as Rolex been there for ages and improve year by year with many competitors from other brands but Rolex still the King of Watch and Classic time piece and really Watchmaker. I have few collections from other brands ( panerai, Oris, Sinn, Tag H ) but without Rolex in my collections will be not full i guess.

in this forum have a lot of people in the range of 20-40 owning and buying rolex (with the exception of a few lucky ones below 20 )

i oso have the same thts as you initially. Maybe its because I see too many TT datejusts on ah-pek hands and also only hear my elders only talk abt rolex upon retiring.

Lucky for me, my bosses and above, all watch aficiandos. In the JLC, AP ROO range. A few of my more senior colleagues also into Hublot BBs. So my Rolex SD not so "oustanding", can wear to office daily.

you are one lucky chap to work in such an organisation.

issit google or micrsoft?

i got a few colleagues who are really fanatical abt rollies esp the full-gold DJs. I'm pretty sure they are WIS cos the rollies they bought way back in the 70s have never been serviced and during meetings, they would always brag abt how lasting their rollies are.

surprisingly, they never hesitate to flip their sport models as compared to their DJs. guess perception has somethin to do with it.

Maybe bosses don't appreciate watches but something else. e.g. car, properties, foods, drinks and many many many...)

We are the group would appreciate watches and that's why we are here...
