brand watches wiki – rolex watches, omega watches, replica watches

With everyone tightening their wallets and gas/food prices soaring, are you finding things that once weren’t a luxury suddenly are? Is a latte is a luxury to you now? Or do you still consider expensive items like a new watch, video game, day at the spa – luxuries despite your family having less discretionary income now?

Answer by Sunshine
Anything not a necessity is a luxury now.

Cable tv and internet is one of my only luxuries. I allow myself a sundae or a new pair of 10 dollar shoes once in a while, when I’m really going wild.

The economy is so crappy right now.

I own a large and enviable collection of luxury watches. I never wear them as I feel like people who wear this kind of accessories are just trying to impress people in a materialistic way. My parents are not flashy at all, they are the most humble people I have ever known but when it comes to me they give me a lot of gifts I feel uncomfortable about. I have talked to them about this but they think that I’m exaggerating. I’m an artsy 20 year old who listens to jazz, classical, experimental electronica and Radiohead. I brought some of the cheapest with me to college but I still do feel uncomfortable about them.
-I’m not a hipster Stephanie. I’m more of a J Crew type of person. I like to keep it simple, and I also like the good kid kind of look even if I’m not as good as I look.

-They did not buy it for themselves. This is the weirdest part, cause I know that they would feel embarrassed of wearing something like this.

Answer by kelly.g
Sell it off…unless you want to keep the watch collection. Im sure your family will understand that you dont need so many watches.

“Men who guide the destinies of the world wear Rolex watches.” So said a Rolex advertising campaign in the 1950s. It is a slogan that remains remembered and relevant today.

In the 1950s, Rolex watches were seen on the wrists of many global political leaders including President Dwight Eisenhower who often wore a Rolex Datejust. One of the other famous Rolex adherents was Konrad Adenauer, the the Chancellor of Germany (West Germany) from 1949 to 1963. Around 1955, Hans Wilsdorf, the founder of Rolex, presented Adenauer with a 18k gold Datejust. Wilsdorf wrote a letter that accompanied the watch explaining the features of the watch, which has survived and is included with the watch.

Adenauer’s descendants have decided to sell this famous Datejust and it will be up for auction at Sotheby’s in Geneva on November 13. The pre-sale estimate is 60,000 to 80,000 CHF. Click here for more information.

You never know what we’ll run into.  Last time we found a Vulcain Cricket with a Presidential seal on the dial, and this time we have a watch shared by two 20th century musical greats. 

This triple calendar chronograph from Wittnauer is a pretty cool looking watch.  Nice dial, great complications, hell it even uses a Valjoux 72(c) movement, the same caliber that was used in the early Daytonas, and most other great chronos of the period.  But, the real magic of this piece is revealed when you turn it over.

Etched into the case back in the inscription “Slim From Louie Prima”.  Louie Prima or “Louis Prima” was, as you may know, a musician that started with a big band, moved onto swing, and eventually turned to jazz and pop in the 1950s and 60s.  His music has been featured in Mad Dog and Glory, Big Night, Anger Management, Mickey Blue Eyes, The Sopranos, Casino, Swingers, Kicking and Screaming, Elf, Swing Kids, and Analyze This in recent years.  He even won a grammy or two. 

And who did Mr. Prima give this triple calendar chrono to? None other than another performer of the same era, Slim Gaillard.  Slim was a true jazz man who played with Charlie Parker, Dizzie Gilespie, and Cab Calloway.  It is unknown on what occasion this watch was presented, but for any fan of jazz, big band, or mid 20th century popular music, this is a watch with a great story.

A surname is a last name:) I would have just said “last name” but I always hear “surname” on this site instead of simplay last name. I thought maybe there was a reason to put it as surname lol. Sorry for the confusion though:)

Mychal Bell has been sentenced to 18 months for two counts of battery and two counts of criminal destruction of property.
Laura, Not in Mychal Bells case the judge is not sending a message. Bell attacked chosen victims from behind. Then he ran away.

Answer by laura C
I think that the judge is sending a message that if you are on probation and a fight breaks out you better run the other way.

IWC Question&Answer:

He has proven more than enough. Why is the IWC always hating on him? The Miz hate is SO 2006, you should get over it and literally shut up! The Miz and Michael Cole are the ones carrying the Flagship Show now, so you should feel ashamed of yourselves for hating on the top guys.

Me, I am surprised. He has shown he has talent and great in ring talent.

Answer by Roy Roy
You’re right, because compared to Miz, everybody else is a fail.

I went to the Treasure Hunters Antique Roadshow in Winter Haven Florida. I took my Dad’s Rolex watch, some old coins and some Gold. I offered $ 161 for my Gold at a Pawn Broker the week before.
The man I was sent to see was an English guy, he took one look at the watch and said its a fake. I was outraged, it was my fathers pride and joy, he could see I was upset so he took a closer look. He explained a few things what was wrong with the watch, he said he was 110% sure it was a replica, then said a low grade replica. He told me to throw it away as it is a counterfeit and its illegal to own such a watch.
He seemed nice, so I showed him my gold to test him, he quoted me $ 188.13, so I took it. He also bought some old coins off me, I was happy with what money they paid me. He seem to know his stuff where watches were concerned, I noticed he was wearing a Rolex.
My question is, should I take his advice and throw it away? I asked what he would give me for the watch and he said “Nothing, Its worthless”

Answer by Enclave At A
Common sense says yes.
You did the right thing not taking the first price offered on your gold, you waited and earned an extra 27 bucks.
You admit the english guy knew his stuff on watches, so he should be able to spot a fake and if Treasure Hunters Roadshow is a reputable company they are right to refuse a replica/fake.
So I guess it is counterfeit, I am not sure if its illegal to own, but it is illegal to import a counterfeit, so if you went to another country or came back, you get in trouble for that. Although if it was your dads, you may not want to throw it away just for a keepsake, shame some guy ripped your dad off.
