Ren, they're promotional items Rolex releases now and then. I've seen pens and pencils, hats, shirts etc...

This is the first knife I've seen in SS, I've seen a few green ones here and there. I think JJ may have a green one.

Yes, I was given a green one, but its features were so damn feminine, I passed it on to Zemina!!

Great knife. Perfect size to pop off the bezel to clean/swap inserts/etc. Handy little buggers.

Actually I was talking to Mike. I never like to carry a heavy knife when I wear my suit pants. It just doesn't feel right.


SO MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS

It happens all the time. We think we haven't sent the message, or that it has hung up somehow and not been sent, so we submit it again. But the first one DID get submitted, hence we have sent two.

It would be nice to be able to delete our own posts, but alas... I have never seen a board where the standard user could do that - only admins/mods.

Mike,
Very nice indeed! I went to our local AD with Roger last year and was rewarded with a Rolex calendar but I would really like to get my hands on a Rolex cap... better check the Ebay!

A light truck pulled up outside the Cruising Yatch Club in Sydney and it was full of cardboard cartons of Rolex Caps for the 2006 Sydney-Hobart Yacht Race (started today). Needless to say, a carton or two will be 'lost', so you will see them on ebay.com.au soon! Last year a seller on ebay got AUD$110 for a yellow one. I know because I bidded for it, but my max was $60.

I'd love to get my hands on one of those. Going to have to log a new search on eBay. I got this one for Christmas:
