freddy333 Posted January 2, 2008 Report Posted January 2, 2008 A friend sent this pic & I thought some of you might get a chuckle out of it (the billboard advertisement is real) And another one with a different ad
yellomen Posted January 2, 2008 Report Posted January 2, 2008 Cool... probably the only country where Rolex will ctually seel shitloads of the ugly daytonas and where you will even see them being worn... no country on this planet with so much money and so much tacky-taste :laugh:
Dizzy Posted January 3, 2008 Report Posted January 3, 2008 wow haha its hard to believe they actually produce this watch lol

freddy333 Posted January 3, 2008 Author Report Posted January 3, 2008 wow haha its hard to believe they actually produce this watch lol If nothing else, Rolex are brilliant marketers & they certainly would not make these watches if no one was buying them. Not my cup of tea either. But then I do not get the attraction of Vegas, 'iced' jewelry, yellow gold and other fashionable displays of obviousness. So what do I know?
bazonkers Posted January 3, 2008 Report Posted January 3, 2008 (edited) Here is the gen. You can find a rep of this as well. Edited January 3, 2008 by bazonkers
Daytona4me Posted January 3, 2008 Report Posted January 3, 2008 (edited) Damn, someone posted a picture of an ugly ass watch and my computer broke! If you get this message, please send new glasses and a new puter for my addiction! I found that cat who's laying claim to that watch! Edited January 3, 2008 by Daytona4me
Victoria Posted January 3, 2008 Report Posted January 3, 2008 A friend sent this pic & I thought some of you might get a chuckle out of it (the billboard advertisement is real) YES!! I think that's covering GUM department store in Red Square, near the Lenin Mausoleum. I haven't been this happy about the transfiguration of Russia into a maniacally tacky consumerist mecca since seeing this photo: Hope they have Narikaa's number (& Bergie's).
Victoria Posted January 3, 2008 Report Posted January 3, 2008 mmmmmmmmmm Rolex Flagship Model That's my favourite photo, Narikaa. Actually, serious question -- what is the rep watch activity like in Russia these days? Mostly Rolexes? I know Shura sometimes reads these threads, and he might know, but do any of you collectors sell a lot of reps to those in Russia? I'm guessing that the people who have the money to afford these kinds of Gaytonas know the difference between a real one, and a fake one. And in a place where money is GUSHING, maybe being a poseur is bad news (and dangerous).
loewenheart Posted January 3, 2008 Report Posted January 3, 2008 That is red square but not Gum. A few months ago they had the gmt master all gold with diamonds and saphires on that billboard! LH
Corgi Posted January 4, 2008 Report Posted January 4, 2008 One of the most exclusive (read: only) jewelry stores in the capital of canada, and only one of two in the city to carry Rolex, has a giant mural of this horological catastrophe hanging on the wall, right outside the store, beside the front entrance, that customers just can't miss. Nothing gets the rednecks excited in the whole shopping mall (except maybe the pickup truck accessory store) like that poster though... my goodness.. more pointing and "hootin' n' hollerin'" than a monster-truck show!

Sounds like it IS a monster truck show........
vafarmer70 Posted January 19, 2008 Report Posted January 19, 2008 OMG that has to be the ugliest watch on this planet. They really sell those in enough quantity to even warrant making them? UGH
