Not too crazy about Rolex haters that feel the need to come to Rolex/Tudor subforum to bash the brand any chance they get. Do you see that kind of stalking on Seiko or Omega pages? How does your comment actually contribute to the topic posted?

It points out how shockingly undignified the company is. It's all about a lack of dignity.

? which company?

The irony of all this is that kids that learn to tell time on a fun clock are probably more likely to buy watches later in life

that's not irony.

If you are referring to Rolex, it’s the dumbest thing I have heard. To come on a sub forum for Rolex and keep bashing it all the time shows me a lack of dignity from the negative poster. Do it on public forum or cafe, that’s fine. What I said is I don’t see Rolex “fanboys”, as some call them, go on other fora and spread their version of gospel. You know why? No need to. What else are we going to blame Rolex for? World hunger? Wars? Diseases?

Come tomorrow, I (or rather my 7 year old)will be the proud owner of this children's wall clock, because I will not support knockoffs or infringers

to be honest, I believe it's a more clear and concise layout for a(my) child to read and understand

P.S. there are a number of very similar clocks out there and one has to wonder...is the two sisters wall clock perhaps an homage to some other one? before you back the underdog make sure it didn't actually steal a bone from another dog

Just got the call from the AD (Amazon Driver) and rushed out to
take delivery before they let it go to someone else.
Was half expecting to be ushered into the back of the van, plied with
champagne and given a goody bag, but no joy.
Now the proud owner of my very first (and almost certainly last) “Oyster”.
Loving the sweeping seconds hand, don’t often see that on a battery quartz.
It’s funny, every time I look at it I get this image of a shiny wristwatch in
my mind, no idea what it all means….

Awesome. My (Rolex) Oyster & Popetual wristclock arrived on time and will be warmly received tomorrow morning (I've already cleared it with the people who count. That's not Rolex's lawyers or their acolytes btw. Just my sister and her husband )

nope, clearly not irony.

lol so you posted a definition to prove yourself wrong?

what you said was not the opposite...eeesh another one with reading comprehension difficulties

The irony of all this is that kids that learn to tell time on a fun clock are probably more likely to buy watches later in life

where is the opposite? the surprise? you simply said if a kid learns to tell time on a fun clock they may be more likely to buy watches later in life. That's not irony, it's at best an observation but really it's little more than a supposition

because you say it's irony doesn't make it so. really, this is so sad

Another post from you trying to insult others intelligence. Insecure? Because you don’t understand the premise doesn’t make it any less ironic,

you do not understand what the word irony means, admit it, you're backed into a corner and now you're lashing out. and please, enough with the victim routine. you used the word incorrectly, just admit it, be an adult (assuming you are in fact one or nearly so)

You are struggling so hard. My comment isn’t ironic (and yet you are trying to dissect it based off your research). My comment was observing the irony in the story. Talk about reading comprehension issues.

I said you misused the word irony. That hasn't changed despite your petulance.
Re-read your comment I quoted, either you misused the word or you need to become a more clear writer.

What exactly did you think “of all this” refers to? My sentence was clear. Perhaps you should leave comments that go over your head alone.

Anyway, you’ve won. I won’t reply to you further. Enjoy.

Looks like these wonderful clocks are being modded now - pretty cool if you ask me, but using "Rolex rules" this would now be a fake Oyster & Pop...
