Guest carlsbadrolex Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 I am drafting a letter now asking for "special consideration" in obtaining a FREE Rolex watch. I wonder what the reply will be??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted April 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 Wow. Just...wow. My thoughts exactly. In the 7 or 8 years I have been a TZ member, I think this is only the 2nd time I have seen such a detailed history of a Rolex watch. Pretty incredible to think that all of the original paperwork (not to mention the watch itself) would still be around (and in such good condition) after all these years. And, for the record, contrary to Rolex's stated comments about the donation having been a rare event, it is not. Rolex is actually 1 of the most altruistic watch brands with a long & established history of making donations of watches to good, worthy causes (they just do not make marketing events out of generosity).

Corgi Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Dear Rolex, My name is Corgi. I don't dive but occasionally go swimming. Life is tough - - but I could greatly benefit from your support. If you could find it in your hearts to send me any one of your fine timepieces, preferably gold or platinum, it would be much appreciated. With love, Corgi. ...any day now friends... any day now...

georgegrasser Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 It was nice of Rolex to supply a free watch. But it was the watch from hell, in constant need of repair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
