R is for Rolex

My wife just ordered this for our upcoming little ones. I honestly might just keep this for myself, the artwork is really good. 
 

I didn’t know this company existed before she found this. It‘s made by Diaper Book Club if anyone is interested. They have books covering cars, shoes, and multiple sports.

Yeah, better keep it for yourself.

There might be other values that you want to teach your kids.

That is confusing even as an adult.. why is there Patek Philippe and AP .. under 'R'olex ? And can't you identify by the dial ?

Bro I just work here. A for Audemars, B for Breitling… I‘m still working on the 1st chapter.

I think the first picture is just the cover of the book, so artistic license is taken to include multiple brands.

But how can they use "N is for Navitimer" if they already have "B is for Breitling"??

 Surely N is for Navada?

Also, what do they have for X? 

Ooo... Shall we try and guess them all! 😂

That’s right. Rolex and models are actually in here 3 times.

F - Field watch ?

O - Over rated ? 🤭

A is for apathy - don’t get excited as Apple Watches are all the rage!

B is for Baldasarre - he’s famous, look him up.

C is for Chronos, the God of Time. You are a sacrifice sweetie, because Daddy needs that Rolex before he retires and gets dementia.

D is for Don’t - seriously, it’s a shit hobby, so anything is better. Daddy will buy you that f***ing pony if it means you’ll buy him a Rolex with the child support you save up.

E is for EcoDrive - the only thing that makes sense as a movement on paper but why do we obsess about mechanical processes that haven’t really changed since the 1600s? Be quiet sweetie, Mommy is having her wine.

F is for FitBit - because I’m obviously getting one for Christmas because none of my family understand this hobby.

G is for Garmin, see FitBit.

H is for Haters. F**k them.

I is for one - Roman Numerals sweetie, I’m paying for your education so who do I see about a refund?

J is for Jenni Elle. Please be quiet, Daddy is trying to watch.

k is for the shock protection designation of 40s-50s Cyma Tavannes ebauches - keep up child, this is an education, you will thank me when you are drunk and power-bidding on eBay on a Sunday night.

L is for Limited Editions - if you see one, of any brand, buy on sight. Where is your wallet!?

M is for movement - this is very important but also not. Battles have been fought, and families torn apart over these, and in the real world, everything runs off USB-C and caffeine.

N is for NH35 - this is why Seiko is your middle name child, stop crying.

O is for Offshore - it’s where you need to put your money to afford the Offshore. 

P is for Patek Phillipe - you will never afford one, this page is filler.

Q is for Timex - don’t question this, just shut up and look at the pictures!

R is for Rolex - the only watch anyone cares about. Put your name down for one now, and we can probably pick it up by the time you get to college.

S is for Swatch - they make all the watches, like Walmart makes all the food.

T is for Time - you will never have enough.

U is for Ulysse Nardin - yep, I don’t know either.

V is for Vostok - no I don’t understand why these are popular either my child, but I guess we all like the Cold War so much we never really wished it went away. Remember when the alarm sounds we have to hide under the table, but it won’t help.

W is for Wishlist - never gets any shorter.

X is for putting at the name of chunky watch models to make them look edgy, and then you know which ones to avoid.

Y is for Yes - the only answer to the question which watch shall I buy? 

Z is for  💤 - standard response to any watch talk.
