Help me please
I can relate The only "smartass" comments I get are from coworkers. Otherwise, I get great comments everywhere else. I think the coworkers are jealous they don't have the guts to wear one. -

Are Hats Your Main Interest?
Hey Akubra Man-Watch Question I have a question about your Rolexes: Generally it seems that the Roman numeral between III (3) and V (5) is IV (4). BUT, on your Rolex faces that use Roman numerals instead of Arabic numerals the numeral 4 is shown as IIII. Why is that do you think? I have a... -
