£7,995 ladies Rolex Oyster watch, diamond encrusted on a gold frame.  It sits now in a local jewellers and I am tempted....to bloody tempted!!

Oh, Lizzie.......and I had such a high opinion of you.

Rolex watches are crass and brash. They are only suitable for brain dead footballers and their WAGS. Only Rolex can made an £8000 watch look like a £10 watch from the petrol station.

You are talking about the cheap metal cased ones Opti.  The top end ones, starting at about £8,000 just leap out at you with their diamonds and gold, shinning wherever you go, oozing class and sophistication, with their second hand gliding, not stuttering, around it's pretty face.

This particular model  sounds like it was once owned by Liberace.

Sorry, Lizzie, but I think all Rolex look tacky.

I bet Opti you think a Rolls Royce looks tacky?

You are correct, Lizzie...

The old Silver Shadow and Silver Cloud possessed a certain dignity as they wafted effortlessly along.

The new range of of BMW owned Rolls Royce will appeal to 'wealthy chavs'......

You mean the 1912 RR Silver Ghost?   Then you would be talking of the best classic car, ever Opti!!

Ps, TB... where did you get your Clarke 135TE? Can't find one online any cheaper than £287 inc.VAT.

Yeah, 135TE. I paid, according to the invoice in front of me, £199.98 + VAT (£239.98).

Probably the next one is likely to be just after crimbo, if the anxious bear has the patience...

[TheBoy]

S'pose I should open the box and check its all there, and put it together...

...maybe when this bout of CBA passes


(in my defence, I'm desperately short of space in garage at the moment, so its best left in its box)

Its that bad, I've got 2 slow punctures on the battlebus, but I can't get to the jack in order to be able to take the wheels off and down to fatty in town for repair

I bought a Rolex once from a reputable jeweller in Manila.  It was $10 and lasted all of 18 months!

If there slow punctures....why don't you take the battlebus to 'fatty' and point him to the tyres in question

There is only one thing worse than a fake Rolex...........a real one.

Worth millions and not driven by 'new money' chavs.

Because I need it, esp as the Silver Bullet is a bit broken at the moment.

Nope. Just gone through my deleted e-mails and found it. VAT free purchases on Clarke up 'til 24/11....and as I get paid 20th job's a good 'un

I could have bought a real one, but decided that paying $9990 extra for a second hand that ' sweeps ' rather than ' ticks ' wasn't value for money!
