Okay, High-Rollers...be On The Lookout...

[bullet308]

...as there is apparently a particularly nasty class of female con-person out there that are ripping older, distinguished gentleman (and the occasional professional basketball player) off for HUGE amounts of money and bling.

And one of their primary target signatures? High-end watches.

So, be careful out there the next time you go out clubbing whilst wearing a $50,000 watch...

Well I don't go out clubbing, i'm not a basketball player and I don't think my £6 SEIKO would draw any attention from young women. :D

Whoopee! Just off to trim the beard, grab my stick and put on my fake Rolex... Look out girls!

[bobm12]

Will, we are of the same mind...my panerai is ready! :D

I think this topic is all b******t.

 

I had a bath and put on my best Rolex and didn't get seduced once.

 

Why?

 

[clockboy]

I don,t get that sort of luck. :startle:

[ramrod]

the only answer to this problem is to always wear a cheap fake. when you get taken. it won't hurt so bad. :D

I put on my "Winner" Chinese watch and all I got was knowing glances from inscrutable Asian ladies walking by in the food court in the local shopping centre.  They know I'm cheap...and also because the last time any woman looked at me lustfully was in 1978.
