gottahaverolex 0 Posted June 1, 2011 So I went to my local Fossil outlet today because my wife wants a cheap all white watch for the summer ( I tried to talk her into a J12 so don't even mention it!). I was wearing my PAM 213I on KH strap today, as soon as i walk through the door the guy at the counter says "That's a sweet Invicta man!". I said "WHAT!!!!", he said' yur watch bro, sweet Invicta!". LOL!!!! I said it's not an Invicta bud, It's a Panerai. He says "panawhat!?...what'd that run ya?" and proceeded to laugh. I, however, was not laughing because this guy has been working at this store for YEARS and says he's a watch fanatic and has talked my ear off several times about my Rolex reps. I told him before I collected reps and he was thrilled with the idea of this, however I didn't divulge that info this time because he thought I was wearing an Invicta. I wasn't mad or anything but it was kind of insulted to have my PAM compared to an Invicta HAHA!~ So I kept on looking after that horrible conversation was over and said I'd be back once my wife decided which piece of crap she wanted ( I took pics for her of all he choices which all look just like j12's ) he said "cool bro and....really sorry about insulting you about your watch, I didn't realize what it was and didn't mean anything by calling it an Invicta. I laughed and said "it's all good bro, i never expected you to know what it was because it costs what you make in a year!" His fucking face was priceless, I think he shit his pants right then and there! I turned around and started to walk out the door and he just stood there looking stunned. I opened the door, turned around and said "I'm just messin' with you bro, it's a replica." I was just having some fun with the kid and I almost made him cry, all the girls working there we're laughing at him for making a fool of himself. I kinda feel bad but it was funny at the time.

gottahaverolex 0 Posted June 1, 2011 These were the least offensive they had. Left is composite and right is real ceramic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ThinkBachs 1 Posted June 1, 2011 We all need to be treated like this sometimes. At least you didn't bet him $100 that he wouldn't go out an buy a gen.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
David543 0 Posted June 1, 2011 Great story, but I'm worried your wife doesn't want the J12 they are such good value and the ceramic and sapphire are perfect! £2k for £70! How much was the ceramic Fossil? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gottahaverolex 0 Posted June 2, 2011 Great story, but I'm worried your wife doesn't want the J12 they are such good value and the ceramic and sapphire are perfect! £2k for £70! How much was the ceramic Fossil? $60 for either fossil. I didn't buy one yet because she hasn't decided. She doesn't want bling and all the j12's I could find for women has bling. If you can all help me find a blingless version in a wome's size case I'll buy it and surprise her! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's really nice looking! She's gotta have a all white watch with a ceramic or like bracelet that's white though. A blingless j12 would be the ideal find.

trailboss99 997 Posted June 2, 2011 Yeah, the damn Fosssil's all look like J12s anyway. I had a look at the Fossil store in Brisvegas a while back. They sure know how to charge for their bags and stuff don't they? At what they charge here I could get two A+ rep LVs and change! Col. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NFleischer 4,355 Posted June 2, 2011 Yes Lays $78 J12 is a bargain- I bought a few. The women love them, and they work well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
