Well, good. I had a fake Rolex once. It cost me $10, and when I looked at the name with a magnifying glass, it said “ROLEK”. It ran for a few weeks, and I had fun showing it off.

Them Roleks, they can't take nothin', eh?

Not even a test of time limited to little more than a few weeks.

The only thing they have over Timex could be they can be "shown off" (for a laugh)?

On second thought, if a guy did it just right, he could "show off" his Timex, for a laugh, and maybe still be able tell the time accurately enough while he was at it.

I saw one at a garage sale once. . . it was as heavy as a Rolex. . . but looking closely at the name and it said : KOLEX. . . with VERY heavy serifs on the top of the K! LOL!
