Is it necessary to include my Rolex in gun pics?

If you didn't receive the old money, and had to make your own, that is NEW money. :D Feel proud. You did it yourself; spend it as you wish. You do not have to answer to papa.
 
Considering all the good weather, fishing, and women I hear about in your state I couldn’t help but give you a little lip.

Hey no problem here buddy. I just think it's hilarious when some guy from Nebraska claims he has to have a rolex for diving or accuracy reasons. lol at split time races... Hmm ok.

Why not just say I'm at a point in my life where I can afford a 3,000 dollar watch Or whatever and a 1,200 dollar handgun both of which I will probably never use as intended, but I spend $35 on shoes that I actually use everyday? It's silly when you think about it. If you wear $35 florsheims AND a rolex - you're goofy and people will notice.
 
There are a whole community of WIS out there that love watches like you guys love guns. A few of my hobbies happen to be guns, watches, and photography. Suffice to say I had a few laughs and lots of eye rolling reading this... and noticing a few fakes along the way. ;)

Man.. Some of your opinions are so skewed it makes little sense to get involved in the banter. Took a quick shot just for you, OP!

Nice watches, Blueboost. Lots of submariners, but no NATO bands? Come on now... ONE of them needs a NATO.
 
New money: a guy that recently became wealthy. Old money: a guy that originally didn't earn it, but had it handed down to him. Is that a correct assessment?

Up in New England its often so old you can't hear it crinkle anymore when you run it over the table edge.:D

Thank you sir. I've got a few! Sometimes nothing beats a SS Sub on a nice black Maratac NATO.
 
Maratac makes a very nice band. I'm using their Bond NATO on my watch as I type this. People always ask me about it, most have never seen such a band and can't figure out what all the keepers are for!
 
Expensive watches or wads of cash in gun photos don't bother me. It's the name brand self defense ammo that makes it into some gun pictures that ticks me off.

Guys, we're a matter of weeks away from 2011....I think it is time to ditch the watches and start relying on those new fangled cell-u-lar devices to know the time.

I understand wearing a watch as a fashion accessory but daily?

Guess I am from another era.

:p
 
Just curious Hanzo, how old are you?

I read a poll recently that each new batch of 18-19 year olds wear fewer watches than the previous run of 18-19 year olds.

I'm only 21 and I can count on one hand the number of people my age who wear watches daily. I can't go a day without wearing one. The way I tell time throughout the day is by looking at my left wrist. If nothing is there, I feel "naked". It hardly has anything to do with fashion. Most people don't even realize what that "spinny thing" on the top of the watch is for. It's a quick way to time something on a scale of minutes. I've been using that feature on my watches on nearly a daily basis since I was 8 years old. I used it a ton when I used to dive.

Sorry, but the fastest way to tell time is with a watch that's already strapped to your wrist, not a cell phone that's carried in the pocket.
 
oh my god! .... I am so sorry. but this thread, http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=557744 caught my eye, and when I got to the picture of all the girls taking a nap I just about died. I'm still giggling. and not just to laugh at that the fact that he took the picture, but at the fact that we all feel sooooo much about our guns that it drives us to do really odd things.

okay, so I laughed and hooted at the picture, wept a bit I was laughing so hard, and I holler at the wife and say something like "ya'll come look at this!", and she and the daughters wander over, and look,, and giggle a bit, and as she walks away she says, I don't what you think is so damned funny, I've seen YOUR picture album bubba... hmmm, dammit!

hey, anybody wanna see the section where every rifle I own is stacked artistically up next to the "game" in the obligatory "trophy" hunter picture? The big ones are pretty cool, but the squirrel section is just, well, it's a squirrel. And yes, I'm wearing a Citizen Aqualand duplex, which happens to be the very finest watch in squirrel lore submersion... :cool: and sporting a VERY shiney chrome finished Desrt Eagle IV in .50 AE. (As i recall, I told the wife it was for defense against angry pigs, since I didn't actually have a "real" rifle. ) I think I miss those days......
 
It would be cool to put an image of a nice watch on the wallpaper of my smart phone, but I have a pic of a loaded revolver cylinder instead. Hmmmm, a watch pic on the cell phone...

I can't wait for someone to accidentally include their home address or identifying information on one of these pictures with guns, wads of cash, and multi-thousand dollar watches.

Criminals know how to use the internet too.
 
No Time Like...

I had put this carefully posed pic together (only with a Seiko and the Cross pen properly behind the trigger) to mimic some Taurus toting, Rolex flaunting, presumably under-endowed conspicuous consuming gentleman...
