I purposely don't wear it much because these cheap watches show scratches on the band and body quickly. That's the other way you can tell-

What are you comparing it too?
You need to borrow a real Rolex like your replica and compare them side by side.
You may be surprised how different they really are.
One thing I know to be true... The people who are impressed by the jewelry you wear don't matter anyway.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
I wear mine because it's important to me in a very personal way. It has nothing to do with what other people think.
Let me explain... I went through horrid divorce about 8 years ago and I ended up almost broke... Eventually the kids came back to me.
But the extra money my ex got because the kids were with her didn't. All of that had been squandered by my ex on a 4x4 and two guitars for her BF...
That and some stupid business decisions. The result.... It took her 9 months to burn all she had. (the story gets really long and boring from here)
OK so.... The kids come home. I'm struggling financially and I needed a goal I could believe in to get myself motivated.
So I tell myself as soon as my finances are in order I would buy myself a Rolex Sub Mariner. Had to be cash only. Not on credit or loan etc. I had to do it properly.
That was almost 6 years ago.
Late last year I was ready to walk into the shop and order a new one but as it turned out I found a mint one in a Pawn shop at half the price. (pic posted on page one)
As you could imagine that watch means a lot to me for a whole bunch of reasons.
