    I cant as a friend and I are off down to an AD at Canary Wharf to try on some Hublots and Romain Jerome Titanics which im going to photograph whilst on my wrist using my Vertu, ill post the pics so you guys can drool or take the pi** depending on your predilections, before driving to the White Swan in Twickers in my BMW X5 for lunch with Tabatha and Justin, might just wear the old Skyfall jacket which I paid oodles over list price for, but it was a MUST have, but I cornered the market by pre-ordering seven in different sizes which I sold to muppets on the bay, maybe the Labs can have splash about in the river, oh dear I don't think this post is in the spirit of the forum

    This is one of he funniest threads I've read in a long time!

    I did meet a fellow TZ-er once, and it was in Rolex in St James. Well I say "meet" it was actually that we both posted that day that we'd been here and recognised that we would have been there at the same time.

    I did see someone with a Rolex LV on the tube the other day and was tempted to ask him about it as you don't see many 'in the wild' but normal tube etiquette got the better of me.

    The biggest giveaway is that he will be checking his watch so frequently you will think he is on the run from the law.

    Which he may well be.

    He's checking to see whether the lume on his antique Submariner has faded any more since the last time he looked, and to see who has noticed that Submariner is written in red.

    He will possibly be standing, hands on hips, shaking his head, abject disappointment on his face, looking at a sign in a Grocer's shop window offering 'Apple's for sale'.

    He will have something for sale, but of course he will only want to recoupe what he laid down?

    Some hilarious and very apposite posts on here.

    I have often found my wife or sons sniggering as they read some of the posts on here over my shoulder.

    I have to quickly change to a porn channel to retain some semblance of respectability!
    Cheers,

    Unless they've had time to check their "Which strap, watch, shoes, boots, sunglasses, car... " posts they'll probably still be naked - and at home - and waiting for a "You've got mail" ping.

    No they photograph their Rolex either on a sandy beach with a few drops of water on it, or on a wooden table in a pub beer garden.

    And he knows which lume is strongest in any given environment, though he will never wear a watch in water or worse still the shower.

    After retiring for the evening and a bellyfull of fine single malt,while placing the watch on the bedside table, there will be the momentary pause deciding whether its crown down or crown up tonight, as one would never wear a watch to bed.

    His name badge will say one thing, although he will introduce himself as another, but he will still be the same dipstick.

    Hmmn. Not so sure.

    What about the TZ duck, under the bedclothes, to ogle the lume - repeated every few minutes with a secret smile ?

    If you are out for an evening stroll you will know him because you will be caught in the light of his 1000 lumen tactical torch with the strobe setting.

    He is likely to be carrying at least one knife, and possibly a gun with which he will ping you with little plastic balls if you upset him (until the air runs out).

    Very well said Eddie, it is one of the most irritating comments people make.

    It is a 'watch', it is an inanimate object that the owner did not enter into any commercial/ financial arrangement with.

    To those who bleat "It owes meeeeeee", may your plasticine be brittle and your beer taste of frog!

    I thank you.

    Horrified at the suggestion that his watch 'flipping' might actually constitute 'dealing', when it is.

    The more shady part of the fraternity will have bought a Zenith at half price then rammed it up someone for a tidy profit on SC.
