My Rolex-

[HHI944]

Awesome story and a beautiful watch!

Normy, if the second hand truly does sweep, that's a pretty good indicator it's fake. There are only a handful of authentic Rolexs that sweep, just like there are only a handful where the second hand only makes one BPS. Most modern Rolexs tick 8BPS, not at all sweeping if you watch the second hand for several seconds.

I have a faux Rolex that someone gave to me, never have worn it. It is the gold and stainless sub. My real Rolex is the stainless Sea Dweller which I've had for many years and I wear daily. I bought the watch for no one other than myself and really don't have a need to impress people. Most people don't appreciate the technology and quality in the watch. As others have said before, it's like owning a Porsche, most just don't appreciate the qualities of the "real deal".

Real, fake...who give s a toss....if it looks good and you like, wear it. To me it's like putting non-genuine Fuchs on your 911, look almost identical at half the price, and no one really cares anyway. They still look good.

Someday you will read what I post and not what you think you want to see in my posts.

Most of us have no issue with the fact that Normy likes to sleep with boys. His lying about it for many years here on this forum does not help but that happens.

Normy flies jets for a living, and anyone who is flying something that goes over my house, or the houses of the rest of us on this thread want to know that the pilots are doing this in a professional and safe manner.

Look at this thread and most of the other threads coming from this persons keyboard and it sure appears that something other than "safe and professional" resides there. This one is fairly sane, but other threads are well "off the wall."

Absolutely true. Everybody should do as they like.

Mine had to be real. That's important to me but not for everyone.

Also... Using the "new" Fuchs on your Porsche ensures they'll also be straight.
I've lost count of the bent Fuches offered for sale locally that are advertised as like new or mint. (I check them on a small "Lazy Susan")

And there are surgeons who like to be tied up and beaten and have stuff shoved up their back orifice to....so what, does'nt mean they aren't any good at their job.
And I don't think he sleeps with boys. Men maybe...boys.. I doubt it. I don't condone it, but couldn't give a sh$t either. Get over it.

Did you even look at what Joe said at all that you quoted?

It's a matter of art. The genuine item is desired because of the perceived artistry instilled in it.
I once sat in front of a Monet at the Getty and at first was less than impressed. It was dark and muddy and yet it drew me in.
As the sun moved across the skylight that supplied the lighting for this piece, it literally came to life. Obviously the artist painted the piece in natural light and his vision was reveled as the lighting evolved. Can you buy a copy of a Monet that depicts the landscape? of course but the copy will never express the artists vision.
The same thing is true of any work of art.
Buy a fake if the artists vision is inconsequential to your needs.
I am personally unimpressed by the artistry of a Rolex but that just my taste. I own a Breitling that I believe is more artful than any Rolex I can afford. It's not a matter of cost but a matter of aesthetics and how it feels on my wrist.

Yes actually I did.

1. Sleeps with boys. A deliberate use of the words boys. Insinuating a pedophile or similar.

2. Normy flies jets for a living. And how the eff does Joe know he does not do that in a professional and safe manner?

3. Normy's threads are "off the wall". Insinuating some sort of mental instability.

Just because people are quirky does'nt mean they can't do their jobs in a safe and professional manner. Jeez...I hope the electrician who just re-wired my house does'nt post some 'off the wall' stuff on a car forum. My house might burn down.

My heartburn with your friend is that he professes to be a professional aviator yet every time we turn around he is doing something silly like this.

"Two alike" you say? Well I am a former pilot examiner and check airman, and the person that junior pilots had to do a flight check with before they got to be a Captain or fly in the left seat. Should your friend attempt to do this with me as the examiner and he started acting wacko like he does on a regular basis on this forum, he would be lucky if he was not grounded and asked to do a full battery of testing to make sure that he really should be in a cockpit in the first place.

No need for me to ask your friend out as I like puzzy and he evidently has come out as batting for his own side. I could care less about this but when I see someone who flies for a living acting like this it makes a lot of us wonder how safe they are in the cockpit flying over YOUR house.

Ok....I see: You are with the FAA. It all makes 100% sense now buster....

You're a pilot who FAILED to make it to the majors, and you are simply JEALOUS. THAT is who FAA examiners typically are! I've also noticed that they have odd personalities. Do you per chance....wear aluminum foil around your ankles to prevent cosmic rays from entering your body? You certainly aren't or weren't a check airman at any reputable airline. Let me guess: Valujet? Or perhaps Frank Lorenzo's Eastern?

That or perhaps you really are a closeted homosexual.

WELL. There is a video I'd like you and your friend Turbo-pro to watch: It's very beautiful, and it is about you two and your adopted son:

-A very, very wise woman who posts over at Rennlist once told me in a PM that many of the people who post on these web forums are either very young, have little education, or have never been outside of the town they grew up in. I tend to believe that is the case here.

They can run me down all they want; Not to beat my own drum too hard, but I was a 727 captain at age 33 and a 747 captain at 39. I've had about 50 checkrides in my career in aviation, and I've failed exactly one, and that one was my fault. I kind of think that I've proven my self in aviation, so some kid or redneck criticizing me here is kind of like like the water I pour on my 928 when I wash it- it beads, rolls off....then works its way into the dirt where it belongs.

How about we go through the thread and pick out some of the more admirable quotes ? We could all go rough shod over the people we don't like on the internet, and maybe get a rise. It is one thing to say I would never have a fake Rolex, and another to say anyone who would buy a fake Rolex must be a .... , or Anyone who rises to my bait must be incapable of piloting an airplane, or anyone who doesn't share my sexual proclivities must be whatever my imagination would like to make them. HEY, IF I DON"T LIKE YOU, YOU MUST BE NO GOOD !!!

What I see is a guy who came out on the attack, got slapped, and suddenly wants to resort to reason as a last resort. I have nothing against Joe, but I do object to some of his posts. Obviously if the moderators have no problem with what some others are posting here, we can assume that they will tolerate my little rants.

Never the less, I will assume I am being unreasonable and desist from any more comments on this thread. I am sure I am way more of a crank than anyone really has any right to be. I work on that every day, and yet I still get into a 6000 pound vehicle and pilot it on public roads safely, God willing.

Normy, Normy, Normy!

No, not with the FAA, yet. Have been asked several times to join but not ready to do this yet.

When are you going to stop going in circles? First you say that I never made it to the majors then you say I am a check airman with Eastern, which was very much a major. I am not the focus of this but since you ask I do still have a scan of my American Airlines flight crew ID, along with the one from McDonnell Douglas, Boeing and lastly Bombardier, all working as flight crew. You see Normy, these are the factory flight departments that make the airplanes, not some silly airline.

You my friend have the market cornered on the tin foil and its on your head. Am out of the closet as a lesbian, thank you.


DD, its funny that I say time and time again that I could care less about Normy and what he does in his bedroom, yet time and time again you return to the homosexual issue. Perhaps you are Normy's boyfriend? Why do you focus again and again on something that I could care less about?

[widgeon13]

Now what was this thread about.........?

I doubt that you were at American- the "sky nazis". For what it is worth anus, I was a check airman at American Eagle for a year, and actually worked in the school house. That was when I lived at the infamous apartment buildings just west of the complex.

What I find odd is that you like to throw names around, yet you are so stupid I cannot even believe it. Please reference my earlier post where I point out that it isn't illegal at all to OWN a fake product. If you've had any international airline experience at all, you would have known that.

NOW; that apartment complex just west of the schoolhouse in Dallas? What color is it, and what is the nickname of this place? If you worked at AA then you know this. About 90% of the people who lived there were AA employees, and most of the apartments were crashpads. EVERYONE knew this place.

I'm waiting- If you don't respond then you are a bovine-excrementer.....

Sheesh Norm, you serious?? If you don't know this then you are full of it...??? And if he knows the name, what then?? Kiss and make up?? Or continue the childish discussions....
This was a thread about a fake Rolex.... Some of you should grow up.

Sigh, unsubscribing due to OD on kindergarden attitude ....

[Joeaksa]

Normy,

You seem to be back in your daze again. I am not the one who is suspect here and have nothing to prove. Your attempt to turn this around simply is not going to work.

I could give a chit what color the building was because it was 15 years ago that I was at DFW with AA. This is not a Bourne spy situation where you have to know the color of the boathouse at the SAS facility or you are going to be killed.

I hope that you can get to a doctor who will adjust your medications as I have not focused on if its illegal or not to own a fake Rolex, its just in your warped mind that you take others posts and try to attach them to your situation.

You need professional help as your posts seem to circle down and down in a flat spin until they impact the earth. Please go spend some time on the gay pilots board with your friends there. This is a waste of my time and I have to go fly for three days. Hope I do not see you somewhere in some terminal around the world...

Flat spin is not good! I spun my SE5a "once"

[Tobra]

Dewolf, you are reading so much into what is on the page it is funny. He was really quite specific that the stuff you are giving so much weight were insignificant. For you to say he is implying pedophilia by saying Norm sleeps with boys is pretty ridiculous. Certainly there is an element of derision in Joe's post, but you are really reaching.

If you have read much of the content Norm! has contributed, you might appreciate that much of it is indicative of the possibility he is a few cans short of a six pack, so to speak. This is concern for any individual piloting any conveyance, particularly a multi-engine plane. He did imply that Norm! is mentally unstable, which IMHO is not much of a stretch and there is evidence of it in this very thread.

Mr Dudley I did not interpret what Joe posted as any of the things you did. Perhaps one day, with perseverance and good fortune, I will eventually be as insightful as you believe yourself to be.


Disclaimer: By using the aphorism, "a few cans short of a six pack," I do not mean to imply that Norm is an alcoholic or that he drinks beer. This is akin to the, "not the sharpest pencil in the box" or "not the sharpest tool in the shed."
