Looks nice... I think I might need a new one because I lost my Nike watch that I got from Japan. Very sad about that. I lose watches too often to consider buying something expensive, though.

Actually Rolex is owned by a non-profit organization and has certain rules in place to where it can never be bought out, sold, or taken public.

NPO? I find this hard to beleive, especially coming from you. Can anyone verify this?

yet another example of how JLGatsby doesnt know what he is talking about (ok to give him credit he is partially correct)

Here is a quote from timezone regarding rolex:

The Company itself is unique in that it is still privately owned and that the principal shareholder is a private family trust all of whose profits are given to charity. Due to this unique structure it does not have to concern itself with short-term profit goals and can therefore plan for the long term

So which part am I not correct on?
