I got this from Josh about a week ago and I just can't seem to get it off my wrist.
On another post on RWI they talk about “what do you say when someone comments on your watch”, well yesterday I was at lunch and a friend of mine has the same explorer I just got he says to me hey we have the same watch. You have to understand no one knows or would ever expect I have a rep and everyone in my town has a Rolex I mean everyone (well not everyone but almost) its a Latin thing I don’t know why. I know his is a gen so right off the bat I say oh yah I just got it he says cool man its nice I remember when mine looked all new a shiny like that. I say to him give it time mine will get all older looking like yours, we took them both off and had a look at each others watch now both watches and being pass around a table with 7 guys and everyone has a Rolex on not one time did I ever hear this does not feel right or your dial markers are silver not black and believe me if one guy in the table would suspect it was a rep they would let me know, my friends do not hold back believe me. I only wish I had my camara so I could have taken pics so we could compare them.
Just wanted to share the story.
