Man $20,000 In Credit Card Debt Buys Rolex That Works 20,000 Feet Underwater
NEW YORK – Stockbroker Ryan Pullen who owes over $20,000 in consumer credit card debt just purchased a Rolex watch that, coincidentally, can operate 20,000 feet underwater. “This thing is amazing!” shouted Pullen, who is a poor swimmer and has never even been snorkeling. “I mean, look at this baby…. incredible engineering, worth every penny!” The watch, a special edition Rolex Deep Sea Dweller, costs $16,500 and needs to be wound. As of press time, Mr. Pullen had already gotten it wet once while washing his hands.
Hahaha…. Reminds me of something I’d read on the Onion. In fact, I had a similar situation personally a number of years back. I bought myself a nice Tag just weeks before getting laid off, while of course still trying to pay down student loans. Sigh…
I have to admit I love watches but I’ve never paid more than about $100 for one. Us older folks still wear a watch to tell the time 🙂
Tags are nice, but pricey!
