Re: Rolex Vs Omega the eternal question

In Response To: Re: Rolex Vs Omega the eternal question ()

: Was this really necessary? I mean really,
: anyone looking at this knows that you are
: only trying to start a flame war?

Well it was necessary for me. and all of the feedback I got on this site was actually helpful for me to make a final decision

: Statements like: >Here is why I will NOT buy
: a rolex.

: OK good enough, so you WON'T buy a Rolex. BFD.
: You don't have to explain to us how you will
: spend YOUR money.

This is a forum. I thought the whole idea was for people to get feedback from other people that might have face the same dilema as me in the past.

: >I do not want to offend

: WTF are you talking about??

WTF: is that how rolex lovers talk to other poeple?
What I was trying to say maybe not in the most clear manner is that 95% of people buys rolex to show off 5% are real watch lovers that bother reasearching the internet to understand more watches

: > I do not want to be

: Why in hell are you interested in a JLC then
: when a Timex will do?

Because a JLC is a real piece of horlogery, Because it is not flashy, because their movements are hand made etc...

: >That why I do not feel like putting a Rolex
: on

: So you DO care what people think.

I never say I did not I just said I do not want to people to think that I am trying to show off. I do care about what people think. If they happen to see my watch I do not want to say another young prick showing off his roles.

Anyway with a name like rolex luthor there is no much point discussing I gues you are always going to be partial.

: roLex Luthor.
