Accie's fake Rolex.

[Drago]

See if she'll go to three-five

I'm insured by the Mafia.

Are you thinking/suggesting hand hacking off in Accy?🧐🤔

More that you just lose it or break it!

 

[Reynard]

Hmmm, I wouldn't be dropping that amount of money on something without checking it is pukka first.

Does the movement match the case? Has it been re-dialled? Has it been properly serviced and not just dunked in WD40? That sort of stuff. Of course it's not my money. At my end of the food chain, the service is the main cost (£95 for a clean & service here), but at the opposite end of the spectrum, there's far too much room for shenanigans due to the demand.

Yes, it's a very nice watch (although I know sweet FA about Rolexes), but if it's not right the price could reflect that, and there could then be issues should Accy want to sell it on.

Mmm, I might inquire about household insurance, including theft. 🤔

 

[DCLane]

Ditto the above.

Seriously @Accy cyclist this is a public forum. I'd suggest deleting the comment about cash and asking @Poacher to delete his bit. It could be a theft magnet.

Most of us are nice on here, but it's searchable for the general public. I know I stick photos of my bikes up, plus link to my Strava - but that's got me as living at a pub half a mile away. And the car-winning photo didn't show all of my house.

Well said, @DCLane.
By the by, I'm wondering why you're not a DILane by now, or at least a DSLane.

I've deleted most of it ,but @Poacher hasn't deleted his reply.🤷‍♂️ Maybe the Mod currently online could do the honour.😬

Deleted as requested.

@Poacher - it's because I'm DCLane on  lots of different sites. And not a PC

I'm definitely not PC either.

Checking back to the first few pages of this thread, I'm starting to wonder if someone has hijacked @Accy cyclist 's account.

I hate the name Rolex! It makes me think of chavvy footballers, second hand car spives/salesmen, James Bond and fecking 'gangstaaa' rappers!!🧐 Even more hideous than a Rolex watch is a fake Rolex watch!🧐 If the USA customs come knocking on my door not only will i plead my innocence, I'll also tell them that as a tweedster chap type, wearing a Rolex watch whether fake or genuine is definitely a big NO!!!, so no way would i buy one! If that fails i'll show my wrists to them pointing out the lack of watch tan lines to prove i don't even wear a watch of any description.🧐

That's just what a hijacker would say! Come on, confess and tell us what you've done with the real Accy!

 

[Reynard]

And of course, there's a big gulf between vintage and modern.

Vintage Rolexes (men's ones anyway) are well made, no-fuss sport and tool watches. The modern ones, I do kind of get @Accy cyclist 's original opinion, that they can be for people with more money than sense. Mind you, if you've far more money than sense, there's Richard Mille, but that's another level entirely LOL.

BTW, didn't James Bond wear an Omega?

I do know that one of the baddies in "From Russia With Love" wears a gold Girard Perregaux with a calendar and a moon phase complication. It's on the first page of the novel.

Just ask him a question on vintage tweed, only the real chap would know the answers to that.
