I do not consider this a call-out, I consider a case of "Questions a [censored] with a brain aneurysm would ask in autumn". There will always be guys like that, no matter where we go. Good answer, and keep your passion alive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cromag Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 They're not always calling out the watch. They're calling out the wearer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 They're not always calling out the watch. They're calling out the wearer. what you're suggesting is so true in the real life. Often, the guy wearing a nice watch is often judged whether he could afford it, and if the perceived answer is NO, then it does not matter if he is wearing a gen. It would still be judged to be a fake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExtraExtra Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 Indeed not a called out...i think your office mate do not seem pleased seeing another person wearing a Rolex so calls it by asking 'is it real?' So now he knows he is not the only one that wears a rolex in the office ....now less exclusive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HartDoc Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 next time he wear one of his "gens". make sure you quiz him about it. Say something like. I didnt know rolex made that model with XXX. When he answer you just give him a hmmm... if you say so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickdangerous Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 Nice reply but that's not really being called out. You handled it well though. Kudos! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didnt know rolex made that model with XXX. When he answer you just give him a hmmm... if you say so. I like this idea, instead of calling out his watch, ask him if it has a replacement bracelet, as it does not look right, or if he had the crystal replaced. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxman Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 But the OP is right, what he is wearing IS a real watch. Absolutely correct LK. The thing Is....why don't these people mind there own [censored] business? Anyone who would ask someone else If there watch.....Rolex Panerai Breitling etc..If It Is real... Is nothibg but a classless douchebag. I would personally like to tell these nosey bitches that have an exaggerated sense of their own self Importance to stick there magnificunt genuine whatever up there pompous ass. I see this guy In my mind picking his nose and asking...."Is that a real Rolex"? Answer? Go blow your nose [censored]tooth...ever here of kleenex or Puffs? aka bathroom tissue. That greenish hue on his crystal Is most likely not AR Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxman Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 Don't exaggerate Mike after all we are the ones wearing counterfeit goods. I'm not denying or exaggerating that fact. The point I was trying to make Is that It's no one's business what we are wearing.. Regardless If It's a $20.000 Rolex or a $300.00 Panerai rep. Just put the watch on your wrist and go about one's own business. I do understand that some folks Indeed have a difficult time with this simple concept.
