The most disappointing personality I have met

In what way ?
I see him at Dover Arts Club and he becomes ever more disappointing, quite grumpy permanently

Sweet collection!
They’ve mistaken a 16610LV with a 116610LV
Not the only inaccuracy.
Have we got a Sun reporter amongst us or did someone here snitch to them?

Ignorance breeds Fear. Fear breeds Hatred. Hatred breeds Ignorance. Break the chain.
Also what’s going on with that BLNR in their pic? Looks like one of those Bamford-type custom jobbies. Maybe that’s why they can’t decide on the value.
What a poor website - I initially thought this was a spoof someone had made up on here.
Possibly Russian internet misinformation fed to the Sun to bring down the political hot bed that is TZ UK

They clearly needed to give the intern something to do. I'm surprised an editor passed that for publication. Total garbage.
Dover has an Arts Club?
What's ' The Sun' - no one in North West England has ever heard of it...
Couple of observations :
A) they've spelt stefs name wrong
B) if they start getting their political views from ally then we're all fnucked
Good luck everybody. Have a good one.
Possibly just a reporter googling 'Alan Sugar Rolex' and a TZ post was a hit.
Nor The Guardian. At least in Southport. My wife was shocked to say the least.
There's a short paragraph about Sugar's habit of showing off his watch during his TV appearances in the current edition of Private Eye, which is probably the the more-likelier origin point.

So a multi millionaire wears a few Rolex in quick succession - big deal, who cares.
With the picture of the blue sub being passed off as a Yachtmaster it doesn't seem likely that... ach, f**k it, who am I kidding? It could be anyone here. Probably that Haywood Milton.
Dover Street, Mayfair, London.
I take it valuations are from Watchfinder
Well, at least he's genuinely interested in watches; that's a plus in my book. Mind you, I've only watched the Apprentice once...quite enough for one lifetime.
Hope we won't get any of the rug readers joining as the result of such publicity...

Odd as it may seem, the Sun has a surprisingly high percentage of 'upper bracket' readers; goodness knows why. I suppose it saves having to think....
The habit was taken on page 3...

They would take one look at the BP and then run a mile. Fear not, they will not join us.
Who’s this stefualkner they’re quoting 😃
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...-episodes.html
The Mail has picked up on this important story now too. I don't think that between them they have managed to get all the watches correct but I'm not checking.
It'll be the immigrants.
Your loss

It’s a thing that appears in the sky sometimes in other parts of the country

Lord Sir Alan seems to be channelling the stereotype of a "total jerk" Rolex owner, waving them ostentatiously in everyone's face. Very, very uncool.
Have to agree. Hope he reads these comments and takes note.
Ugly inside and out by the sounds of it.
I don't think Alan Sugar has ever presented himself as a cultured and polite gent; he's a 'geezer' and always has been. The Rolexes are perfect for him.
Fair comment. He's clearly got zero imagination - Rolex are the mere foothills of horology, and I speak as a Rolex fan and owner.
He's got more than enough money to get into some seriously interesting watches - Moser, Laurent Ferrier, De Bethune, Voutlainen, MB&F, Roger Smith, et al. Even vintage PP/Rolex would be encouraging. But no. Serial, unimaginitive, boring contemporary Rolex. Yawn.
The total cost of those watches is far less than the single engined plane he pilots himself to and from London.
Stupid article , he's into his Rolex , he can afford them , good on him.
If the Mail didn't write about immigrants and/or so called benefit scroungers there'd be nothing for them to report
Unfortunately some in the North West do buy it, though not on Merseyside
I went off him when he changed his name from Alan to Lord.
I'm quite looking forward to the next iteration of this story by another paper. The Mail managed to correct the photos of the Yachtmaster, but they didn't pick up that the Daytona's wrong and they tried, bless them, to correct the GMT but still got the wrong model.
If we give a journalist infinite time on a watch forum they might eventually get it all correct.
He owns a lot more than just modern Rolex though.
It's just a matter of time...
In the late 1980s I was the Joint MD of a printing factory and met Alan (as he was in those days) a few times.
We produced the brochure for his first computer which included taking the pics in our in house studio.
He only had one prototype which was the wrong colour and this was the days before Photoshop.
However good old fashioned skilled retouching in our repro department saved the day.
What else has he got, and why doesn't he wear them? Also, why does he feel the need to wave his left wrist around in such a contrived and obvious way?
Some people really are stealing a living aren’t they
Do you not think that an important part of it for Sir Alan is wearing things that other people know are expensive. Rolex fits the bill perfectly.
I've no idea, but he needs to step up his game if that's true. A PP Gondolo tourbillon would look so much better with a suit than a bunch of cheap steel sports watches. He's a peer of the realm, not some City trader.
