to most Asians, Rolex is king. of course, some may not quite agree but then nearly everyone knows a Rolex even if they're not watch enthusiast like us so that statement may in fact, hold some truth.

I must highlight this very misleading, sweeping general statement...

"Rolex is 'King' , Pammie is 2nd amongst MWF members"

not everyone has the same taste...there are many long time collectors I know who do not agree to the statement above
i am new here. i for 1 agree with you as i do not own a rolex but i buy for my wife. i have JLC, PAM and AP.  :)

I'd like to make myself crystal clear here in order that MWF members may not misconstrue that I'm anti-Rolex or anti-Pam or anti-whatever brand. Anyway I used to own 4 Rollies eons ago.

I do not hate any brands. Why should I ? If a person likes a brand which doesn't appeal to me,its his money to buy what he likes and likewise for me.
If I like a brand on the other hand, I'll make my comments on the brand. If the brand does not appeal to me, I would refrain from making any negative comments as I know that we all have different tastes and priorities.

If you read the comment made;
"Rolex is "King" among MWF members. Second is Pammie."
it insinuates that Rolex is accepted as King and Pammie is 2nd amongst ALL MWF members…
The person making the comment cannot make such statements on my behalf nor can he make such a statement of ALL MWF members or even generalise. that's the point I was trying to make.

If the post had read
"Rolex is "King" amongst some or most MWF members. Second is Pammie' I would not have been irked…

Anyway a small matter but I felt that I needed to make it clear that the comment made was too sweeping and presumptous and di d not represent my views.
No more comments from me on this thereafter... 
Personal taste and preferences evolve over years, hopefully not 1 full circle otherwise it means we haven't learnt a single thing.

Anyway, to each, his own.
I disagree with the part " that the comment made was too sweeping and presumptous and di d not represent my views." The comment was made based on the recent MWF survey of which the result shows that Rollie was the popular choice and followed by Pam. Of course the survey does not meant it represent the views of many who did not took part in it or who had voted for other makes/brands but IMO the survey represents what the majority who took part would favour.

Cheers.
