I got a couple of reallly really good Rolex watches when i was last in Afghanistan.

They were both limited edition as one was a "Ralgex" and the other a "Rolodex"  :grin:

It was what i always wanted and they are better than money in the bank! The last one i sold made me £1500 more than i paid for it, allowing me to trade up!

Dude, had my son at a very early age.......it was a  :surprised: and a real reality check for me anyway.

Me < selfish, do what want when I want....spend ££ on anything  :laugh: had my son, was a big change!

He is now 12 and my BEST mate too. We do everything together.......he can drive (pretty much)  :driver: and has a few keep sakes for later life.


Hey < have a friend that paid £5,900 for a Brietling......only to find out it was NOT real. Perfect copy of everything, papers, docs the lot.

You have to be very careful when buying watches. Always buy from a good quality jewelers, no matter how tempting the price is.

I did take a huge gamble buying on line but i was covered by paypal! First thing i did was put in the bath over night! New rolex have a crown etched in the glass at 6 oclock too. if you have a keen eye you can spot the fakes!

 :signLOL: x 10

It's strange going to his school, I don't look much older than some of his mates  :signLOL:

Girl < this scared me. Come on, if I had a girl she would NOT DATE/GO OUT until she was 30  :grin: :signLOL: p.s not joking hahaha

Kids are the best, they have none of lifes complications, stresses.......!! As much as my son stresses me out, he is also my get away.


As for the fake/fakes < 13 months on it got sorted, but had to have police involved. Personally, NEVER EVER EVER expect help from Paypal!!

I think mine is better made than the Rolex! So people ask me if it's a military watch!

I tried to take the p1ss too but nobody bit!

All a bit too serious IMHO!

My 'old school' rolex!


Snap, inherited this unfortunately from my dad a few years ago, he purchased it in borneo in 1964 for c£100 and still going strong



This is i have had for 10years now 18thbday and been worn pretty much every day since



Would love a white gold daytona with croc strap next but a bit pricey, fingers crossed for friday  :happy2:
