A cellphone store worker has a $22,000 Rolex????

Not victim blaming, just sounds odd.

Moral to the story: don’t wear a $22k Rolex out in public

NY City? How unusual!

22k pennies?
Who wears a 22k dollar watch to work in New York?
Shouldn’t be, but that’s called askin’ for it.
Cell phones keep as good as, or better time than any consumer watch...

I just replaced the old wrist band on my 3 year old Timex with a $10 Amazon wrist band.

Over the years I have accumulated some nice watches, and I don’t wear them out, in today’s world.

It is foreign to most of us that a cell phone store worker might be wearing a real Rolex. But, that is NYC for you. Most workers are really owners or sons of owners and New Yorkers know their Rolexes. A 18 year old might be wearing a fake, but it doesn’t surprise me a bit that the cell phone store person had a real one.

London is also a dangerous place to wear a real Rolex. If you’re out at dinner a waiter might spot it on you and alert thieves waiting for you outside. Best to wear some cheap watch instead but yeah the point of a Rolex is to mostly flaunt it so that works against you. You don’t have as much fun with it if it just sits in your watch box at home.

I have never understood why anyone, even someone who can afford it, would want a $22k watch. And a cell phone company employee probably can’t afford it. A knock-off, maybe?

And here I thought that NYC has some of the toughest gun control laws in the land.......it just proves criminals don’t obey laws. The only thing criminals really fear is a police office with a firearm (or a vigilante with a firearm).

Who goes to work at a store in multi thousand dollar jewelry?
