Cool Mother's Day story… early am flight and I'm sitting across from my mom, when out of the blue she looks around the plane, then looks at me and says, "Son, I can't believe the life I have… grandma and grandpa would be so proud". I asked her, "Are you happy ma?". Just then the flight attendant placed my mom's breakfast down on the table and my mom said to me, "Am I happy?.. I used to worry about how I was going to buy groceries for us and now I just had my breakfast placed down in front of me". She bursts into tears and says, "Yes, son I couldn't be happier". This is the woman who when I was 14yrs old we were evicted out of our apartment in Hawaii because we couldn't afford the weekly $180 rent. At this moment I'm shaking my head and smiling quietly (as my mom blows her nose;), because she just told me she's happy. And y'all know when our parents tell us they're happy, it's so satisfying for us, because it means we've done a good job for them as their kids. Happy Mother's Day to all the amazing deserving mama's out there. And Happy Mother's Day to my amazing mom who will no doubt kill me for posting this crying pic. #EnjoyBreakfastMom #GratefulTears #TryNotToCryInTheEggs

Moral of the story is if your mother doesn't travel on a private jet then your a failure as a son.

A bit disrespectful for a serious and touching thread like this.
That being said: Would.

Good for the both of them.

meanwhile all over the world parents are able to provide shelter for their kids and not the other way around.
even in the animal kingdom.
but some people are apparantely unable to do what even a bird mother does. thats some big time underachiving right there.

I like Dwayne but....
He's been milking this "I was so poor" sympathy cow for sometime now...He's been well off for a very long while and he needs to let it go...it's not like he was an orphan in India or shizzo in Florida.
Secondly...am I suppose to feel sorry for his mum? She's wearing a solid gold watch with diamonds on the bezel....I'm 36 and been busting my ass since 16 and just about bought myself a half gold watch, you don't see me crying over a plate of croissants.

Something tells me the rock is fake as hell like the majority of these celebs but of course, people eat it all up

A friend of mine spent an evening with and around him and said he's just genuine, nice and down to earth.
I like the guy, he looks like he's loving life. Good for him.

Ok, we get the picture. You have bought a shitty, two-tone GMT and lust after a diamond encrusted, solid gold, horological monstrosity.

Do you believe he's going for sympathy? Or maybe that he's trying to inspire someone in a tough spot?

I don't think he's going for sympathy...but being the "people's champ" and popularity online translates into $$$$ in his industry....I do feel he knows that well and chooses carefully what to post and his choice of words to enhance that image.
-

Yep. Twice.
Mother too.

the 116520 now thats a great watch,had the white dial and got rid of it for a different reference.Im getting it back very soon.

He does seem like a good guy tbf.
He keeps out of trouble and it seems that everyone who has met him, has nothing but good things to say.

wonder if mom knows about and is "proud" of his son's illegal steroid use.

I doubt it is a sympathy, more a reminder where he was and appreciation for everything he has achieved. Why going public? As much as it sounds corny, he might inspire some young kids to pursue their dreams.

Do you own/buy other brands? I'm Rolexed out now, next piece will have to be something else, thinking of a plain steel AP royaloak (not the bulky offshore ones) or alange sohne and JL have a couple of models of interest to me.

I guess it could be interpreted either way, out to the world to inspire or out to world to gain popularity...a bit like Obama coming to Ireland and takes pictures drinking Guinness to appeal to the white Irish voters back home. Or George Bush trying to cuddle a black baby, but the baby was having none of it and the subtle look of disgust on dubyas face he failed to hide was undeniable.

Not an expert but I like some of Stuhrling watches, such as this one. Looks great IMO. I have a similar looking model but a bit cheaper than this one which is about 2 1/2 grand I believe.

i had an ap roo,was to big and bulky for me so got rid of it after about a month,Im big into rolex.The ap royal oak is a beauty.the watch i interested in now is a ss 116680 yachtmaster ii might be to big like the ap though.I also like the omega speedmaster line.Jl has some great looking watches as well as patek but those are to pricey for me.I venture out occasionally but always come back to rolex,something about it just feels right.The daytona being my alltime favorite watch and will be back on my wrist by june.im big into no date watches hence the 116520,116680 and the 114060 which is due back on my wrist as well,im a serial watch flipper.

ive yet to see a single rolex that looks decent. their designer should be shot.
ive got more respect for rich piana, at least hes not dumb enough to waste money on his watches

So his head and hands glued to his phone while his mom is answering the question he just asked her, and typing it out on social media? Wow so warm and heart felt. Why IS EVERYThINg shared now? Nothing is legitimate anymore. Everyone wants everyone else to know their thougts, actions, etc.
-
and why does he have to go public with the fact that his mother couldnt provide and sucks at life worse than a pigeon?

You sir have horrible taste,thinking rolex are ugly and pianas big stupid watches are good looking?rolex is the most popular i. The world for a reason,there designs are beautiful.the daytona and submariner are the teo watches that all watches should take note of as they are the best looking watches ever made in my eyes.
-
I just dont understand how he had such a bad life when his dad was a pro wrestler.Either way good for him as hes kicking ass.

I dont have manicured nails or a man purse.rolex is bad ass,if you dont want to buy one then dont.Im not trying to fool anyone.I like them and i buy them simple as that.not into cars,boats,bikes rtc so i spend on watches.I have been into watches since i was 14,i started with swatch then movado,tag,omega,breitling and eventually the dream a rolex.Sorry to upset you so much.

Ok how about everyone else that wears them,paul newman,mark wahlburg,the roc,jason statham,harrington ford,brad pitt,vin deisel,stallone although a big panerai fan still wears rolex,etc...not that i buy a watch based on who wears it but since you are throwing out beiber and degeneres il name a few myself.my watches are for me sorry to get your panties in a bunch,if you dont like them dont buy them.
-

The fact that you think those monstrosities he calls watches look better than a two tone gmt and a daytona means you sir are a moron.

Che rocking the sub with style. Legend.

I saw this guy getting undressed at the gym.
"You're a gynaecologist, aren't you?" I said.
"I am," he said. "How did you know?"
"Oh, just a guess," I said, "but the rolex around your bicep gave me a clue."
-

It's a GMT....you sure do switch sides
You would be a lot happier if you purchased a decent watch. Unfortunately, you are a typical GMT wearer. Couldn't pony up for the Daytona, so decided a two tone would fool people into thinking you are "loaded" and therefore someone of repute.
It is the horological equivalent of synthol.
-

Context much? Hate to break it to you, but Che rocking a stainless steel one, 50 years ago, whilst fighting a revolution, is somewhat different from you buying a shitty, two tone as a status symbol, and bragging about it being gold on getbig in 2015.

What you fail to see is a communist wearing a symbol of capitalism, at least my way of life mirrors my beliefs, I don't preach one thing for the people and Chicken Kiev by different rules....but like sheep you're told who the good people are and who are not and you regurgitate Vagina the same over the years without questionning anything for yourself.

what is wrong with a two tone 116713 gmt?its a great watch that many would love to own,to each his own a gmt,sub,daytona,milgauss,dj ii,dd ii etc,its all peronal choice.Most people cant afford one so owning one deserves a little bragging rights in my book.Its a 13k watch,thats quite a significant watch if you ask me hardly shitty.
-
Does anyone know what time it is?
-
I don't even own a watch. Just use my cell phone for the time. :D :D
Then again, I guess a watch looks good if youre a business man or lawyer or something. Doesn't matter in my field. Plus, I hate the way a watch feels on my wrist. Ive never really liked the way jewelry felt on my body (ring, chain, watch, bracelet). It always feels like I am having to adjust it or move it around.

Watches def are not for everyone.i just like the look and feel of it.im no lawyer,doctor or biz man,i just enjoy a nice watch.Id rather spend 10k on a watch than spend 50k on a car but thats just me.the way i look at it is time is the most important thing in the world so i want a great timepiece.End of story.i have freinds with 100k cars and 30k bikes,il stick to my watches.

I think that is also part of the problem. The fact that more kids know who Britney Spears or The Rock is, than they know who Stephen Hawking, Issac Newton, or Marie Curie are. Its okay to look up to movie stars, singers, wrestlers, to a certain extent, but I think kids need to have real heroes, people who have really changed the world. Its the scientist who is struggling day-in and day-out trying to develop a cure for cancer that kids should look up to. Instead, they all just want to become rich and famous, and that is what the Rock portrays: Money and a lavish lifestyle. Of course, there is nothing wrong with this, but we all know why The Rock is constantly posting feel good stories: To stay in the limelight because that equals money for him. Its quite sad when a music or wrestling video on youtube has 12 million views, and a Tedtalk on physics (or any other intellectual topic) has 300 views :/ I wish kids would start looking toward other figures for inspiration, in order to make more of a direct impact on the world.

I wasn't born as poor island trash, so it turns out...I never had to buy my mom food. I feel pretty good about this and am thankful for relatively successful parents.
Thanks Dwayne.

A watch without a paracord wrist band is a total waste in modern times.
-
I wasn't knocking down the rock as such....but why keep bringing up "the hardship" card over and over unless it's pull on heart strings...he didn't grow up in a war zone, he wasn't orphaned, he didn't spend all his childhood fighting a deadly sickness....the dude is 6ft5 healthier than a Gorilla, good looking, famous and filthy rich.
The below was a plug for his programme, "helping" the homeless.

LOL nailed it.
fake humility all the way. These people dont understand they got where they are due to pure luck more than anything. But they always keep convincing themselves -publicly- they got there because of some kind of superhuman "work" others didnt do. Most of the time you dont even hear about the less shiny stuff they had to do to get there either.There are are billions of people busting their asses a lot more than them but simply happened to be born less lucky and in return get nothing for their "work".

this is true,but look at this "industry" - today Heath and Kai are in their prime,ronnie and jay are irrelevant...tommorow there will be 2 new faces and champions and people will running just around them and the old cahmpions will be slowly forgotten...look for example some football clubs,like barcelona real madrid etc...in 10 years from now how many children or adults would asko to take a picture with some player who wasnt in the spotlight? they will be forgotten,the only thing that will hopefully stay is the earned money...look backstreet boys where are they now?!all of them are broke and they are still doing shows but they are irrelevant...the same will happen to justin biber in a few years

In his book he talks about driving around looking for the least stained matress he can find to take home from the back of motels because he was hard up for cash. That's pretty unshiny.
You claim he's fake, but like someone else said, everyone that's met him has nothing but good stuff to say. He's been famous for over 15 years, I'm sure somebody would have seen a slip up by now.

Il end it here,the roc is full of shit.rolex is a bad ass watch,if you like timex then good for you,i wouldnt wear one but that is all personal preference.Ive many great conversations with other watch guys about the watches i am wearing and to me it fun.Like i said some like cars,bikes,watches etc...you all dont need to get mad that skorp and i like rolex watches its not that big of a deal.

Wish this guy and his mum would fuck off. He's like a teenage girl, the amount of crap he posts online, all designed to make himself look good too.
It's how it is. He has done exceptionally well for himself and I'm genuinely glad that he can do that for his mother, but the incessant attention whoring gets old quickly.

He is full of shit. His dad was a Professional Wrestler and so were his entire family. He even lived in New Zealand as a boy. He was in college on the football team, getting everything paid for right after high school. Don't give me his bullshit story and expect to believe it.
You are a moron and anyone who believes his nonsense is just plain stupid. Guy is as phony as it comes.

The only people who care about watches are other homosexuals with watches. Sure, if you want to impress them, I understand. But if you want something thats going to last, you buy a Timex. In fact, for the price of a Rolex you can buy like 200 of them so you would be covered for the next 20,000 years easily if one should break.

If its good enough for George W, it's good enough for me.
Exactly.
GW could have any watch in the world made for him. He has been given tons of watches and yet, he always stuck with his trusty Timex.

I loved that thing! I had one as a kid. They still make it. Its another classic for sure. Much better than Skorpo's mangetters on his wrist.

Guys I know back in London used to raid very high end jewellery stores and the odd storage vault. In fact, I have my suspicions babout the recent Hatton Garden vault raid over Easter, but anyway. So I saw gold Rolex, Breitling, Phillipe Patek, etc. The only watch I saw that I liked were the Rolly Yachtmaster. Don't know the retail but my mate offered it to me for a grand if I was willing to hang on to the loot for a few weeks in case he got raided (which he did but in an unrelated theft). I told him I'd do it but didn't want the watch. Was nice but not worth it to me for a grand. The REAL wealthy people don't walk around talking or posing with these things. It's just part of who they are. You can always see a poser very quickly.

x2. I used to love wearing them as a kid. I used to be in awe about all the cool things it can do. I have to admit, while owning an expensive watch may be nice and all, the sense of awe I had when purchasing the casio watch, and being so excited about all the cool things it can do, will probably never equal to owning the most expensive watch. As corny as this sounds, though I am sure you can understand what I am getting at, TA.

i wonder when was the last time rolex invented anything... junk cant even give time properly unless you do annual checkups or full service every few years
-

Yup! Pretty much. The fact that my watch had a light, and I could tell the time at night in the dark. I don't think that watch ever left my wrist lol. Its funny because its those small things in childhood that really bring a sense of awe, wonder, and excitement, that I don't think any expensive watch as an adult can equal.
-
I understand completely.
We really lose that sense when we get into adulthood. :-\ :-\
-
I had this as a kid....still remember not being able to stop looking at it in the dark. Thought it was the coolest thing ever.

Not sure if you remember these Casios, but they had one that could change channels on the television and they had one that was called a Phone Dialer which you could I assume, use it to dial numbers. Guess it was for the rotary phones. I used to want these so much!!

Yuh huh. I can still remember my wrist being pale and sodden from sweat, and the indentation of the strap with its little square cut out holes whenever I had to take it off to rub away the itch.

HAHAH yes it would be all soft and moist and smell kind of like the watch band.

i like the rock he earned his popularity but if you read his book he never would've became a wrestler without his father's connections to the business

He is a lying fraud who believes his own bullshit. Physique built on lies, wrestling career built on lies, social media built on lies.
-
it was much easier for him to get his foot in the door due to his family connections, but he made himself a star with his charisma
anybody remember his rocky maivia character? he would've been fired within a year if he didn't create the rock character

Fans hated him because he was forced on them. I think once he turned heel and ripped on others, he got popular. Can't quite remember though.
-
It was all basically luck, nothing else. If he tried that today, nobody would care, because nobody watches it.

yes that is what i mean about him getting an opportunity due to his connections, that character was awful and his career would've died and been completely forgotten if he didn't make changes
guys like brock lesnar and goldberg were handed main event status in pro wrestling, the rock was handed a spot but he made himself a star

nobody watches it because there are no characters like the rock

I'm sorry Adonis...but none of those plastic presidents would match the Great Tsar of the old USSR Mr Putin....and his choice in watches is very solid. Nothing but Patek with moon complexion will do for a superior president.

In my opinion his character was shit. There was no back story, no history, no mystery, no nothing. The guys in the late late 80s-early 90s were the best.
There was nothing to "The Rock". What was he supposed to be really?
This is better.

Is casio still making these types of watches?

I swear, every fucking thread Scorp posts in, becomes about watches.
You should jack in your job and go work as a publicist for rolex :D

Yuh huh. I can still remember my wrist being pale and sodden from sweat, and the indentation of the strap with its little square cut out holes whenever I had to take it off to rub away the itch.

he was a master on the microphone, wrestling became more about being a male soap opera than anything
the genius? LOL there's a reason that character lasted about as long as rocky maivia, what was his "history", "mystery" or "back story"?

Wrestling is so bad these days :/ There is no character development, and it overwhelmingly relies on sex to sell. Its just boring these days.

so what is the rocks story? or cena? or any of those guys? i only dig the undertaker and guys like that. i dont want to see regular folks.

the undertaker is the exception, most fans want realistic characters and those are the ones that main event wrestlemania
there's a reason characters like val venis, papa shango, or the godfather didn't last and were mid carders at best

That's the thing with watch collectors...you're always raising the bar. But he's right...the WG Daytona with Arabic dials is one of the best combos ever made.

Luminox is another good watch company that makes watches for Navy Seals and Fighter Pilots in a reasonable price range like 100-400 dollars.
The Brietlings and such are jokes and are not meant for anything.

I don`t think you get it. You started bashing me and George Bush for our Timex watches which are great, well made watches. Nothing wrong with buying a Brietling if you like to waste money on a bunch of little gears and like to pretend you are a James Bond villain or effeminate cologne stinker.
Oh I get it all right. They are interesting in how they are made, but certainly the cost does not justify their components, manufacture build or gold/diamond or what have you content.
The bottom line is what you want out of it and if you want something that lasts and for what price.
A Timex to me is more valuable than a Brietling and accomplishes the same task exactly the same and I would feel the same about myself if I had a 20,000 dollar watch on or a 40 dollar Timex.
Sounds like you would not though, therefore thats your problem.
-
Do you own/buy other brands? I'm Rolexed out now, next piece will have to be something else, thinking of a plain steel AP royaloak (not the bulky offshore ones) or alange sohne and JL have a couple of models of interest to me.

i like that nardin and the new yachtmaster on strap.

Nice watches. But would any of you horophiles hide your favorite timepiece in your ass to keep the slopes from putting it in their greasy, yella' hands? Would you?

I've bought/sold many watches on watch forums and buyers always pay first for a watch. In my many years of doing this not one person has ever stiffed me! I've probably flipped six figures in watches.
Actually love the Deepsea but the bracelet is too thin for the watch.
SA is a nice piece.

LOL nailed it.
fake humility all the way. These people dont understand they got where they are due to pure luck more than anything. But they always keep convincing themselves -publicly- they got there because of some kind of superhuman "work" others didnt do. Most of the time you dont even hear about the less shiny stuff they had to do to get there either.There are are billions of people busting their asses a lot more than them but simply happened to be born less lucky and in return get nothing for their "work".
If by luck you mean born with a decent brain and drive and in a Western country, then yes, you're right.

Yeah me too. I'm more a hublot and AP guy. First watch was a Rolex submariner like many people :D my second was a omega planet ocean orange one which is one of my favs

In 2007, Mayer purchased his first of seven Rolex watches from Maron, a broker and expert on "important" watches primarily by Rolex and Patek Philippe, according to the lawsuit.
In 2010, Mayer sent one of the Rolexes to Rolex for servicing. The Swiss company informed Mayer that the watch he had sent them "was not authentic in all respects" -- some of the parts in the watch were not Rolex parts. When Mayer confronted Maron about the watch, Maron apologized and gave him a refund.
Mayer went on to buy more watches from Maron to the tune of about $5,000,000. But after finding out that seven of the watches were allegedly counterfeit, Mayer filed his lawsuit.

so the guy obviously didnt do his homework,Ive seen great quality reps that can pass most people by but most in the know wont be fooled.The japanese make great reps looks wise but the movements suck until serviced them can be decent but look nothing like rolex movement,there is a popular asian 2836 movement that is put in alot of reps and anyone that knows movements can spot them immediately.Also the sweeping movement in reps isnt right,the laser etching on the saphire crystals isnt right,the rehaut engraving is usually weong as well.most rep rolexes with dates the the date aparture will be crooked and the date wont switch at midnight,seeial numbers are incorrect for the models.colors are usually a shade off,crown wont be smooth,if stainless steel the use 316 not 904.lots of simple differences.if you know what to look for.
-
I have heard of supposed collectors getting ripped off so it does happen but i think its cause they are to trusting.i wouldnt be fooled.There are so many tells,as far as rolex goes which is the lost counterfitted watch,others might fool me as i dont have much experience with patek,jlc,etc.
