Homage thread-- Proceed at the peril of your sanity.

I thought starting homage thread here might be more daring than flying my ultralight but everyone has been pretty adult about it. The mods have to be pretty disappointed that they didn't get to do any of their mod stuff.

GETS, I kind of wish I knew why I have 5 Rolexes, I guess for the same reason I have about 70 Accutrons and various other watches, because I want them. I wish I could give a better answer but I can't. It might have something to do with the fact that there was a time in my life when I couldn't even afford a Timex so there is some feeling of accomplishment.
I think I wanted the Soki because I was intrigued that a watch like that could be purchased for that amount. I wish you could experience how well it works, amazing for the price.
As to whether Rolexes are "over priced", that is a whole new subject and a whole new way to start some hate, discontent and turmoil for the mods to deal with but, in my never humble opinion, I don't see how anybody could argue that they aren't overpriced. My wife has three watches including a Seiko which cost less than $100 and which keeps better time than her Rolex and I have a 40 year old Accuquartz which keeps better time than any of my Rolexes.

ULACKFOCUS, wow, that's some golden parachute you have !

Thank you for posting the homages folks, you have emboldened me to post this.



The two on the upper left are my two Submariners, the rest are:
Invicta about $95
Alpha about $65
MQJ about $35
Soki about $15
The only one that doesn't work as well as the Subs is the MQJ which runs about 3 minutes per day slow. I actually prefer the crown on the Invicta to the Subs as far as finding the right place for the functions.

Presa Canary, I assure you that my only motive is fun or making work for the mods, the same thing I guess. I'm sorry I wasn't better able to explain my ownership of 5 Rolexes, I guess I lack the sophistication. I'm generally not as impressed by whom an article is made as much as I am by the article.
A city near me commissioned an internationally known "artist" to create a piece of "art" to put in front of their new civic center. On the big day of it's arrival the sophisticated crowd waxed eloquent about it's "depth of feeling" and " bold vision" etc. The great unwashed unsophisticated crowd quickly named it the cement porta potty and it became the object of so much scorn and derision the city moved it to a less prominent location. The unwashed didn't care who created it.
