Re: Omega/Rolex wars?

In Response To: Re: Omega/Rolex wars? ()

If a timex makes you happy and you can avoid the maddness of being a wis I say go for it.

: Think of it in comparison to when you with your
: lovely Omega are confronted by someone who
: tells you that their Timex is just like your
: watch (even better) because it is more
: accurate and "just as good"
: because the Time is just as water resistant
: and looks the same.

: Your watch is different because it evokes in
: you something that a Timex evokes in few (no
: one?). The person with the Timex doesn't
: "get it".

: The guy with the Rolex bought it because it
: touched some thing inside of him (his
: wallet, not mention he probably got it a
: dealer or less) and is offended when that
: desn't put him in a class above (in your
: eyes). As for the Rolex, I don't "get
: it". But; maybe if I get one (not
: likely) I may change my mind! ;-)
