OK, seriously Pisti, Bodie, ejay, etc, do you not think that Rolex are on a totally different tip to what is sharp now when they punt out very expensive yet incredibly cheap looking offerings like this? I mean this does just look like the watch that Action Man would wear.
They're a brilliant brand with an amazing heritage yet how they manage to hold onto respect for their brand when they punt tat like this is beyond me. Considering their heritage sometimes they really do come across as an embarrassing dad trying to be cool at a party full of teenagers.
And unfortunately that's enough for them to be tainted with a stigma of being a bit fake as a brand, which I believe has been going on since the days of when they bent over backwards for the Saudi market and started encrusting all the things in chips of jewels. Just saying.
