@acarr260: Hilarious. Guess the Swiss can be a bit snobby, eh?

Also famous for skiing, Banks, Pharmacuticals, and lack of humor. But its an awsome place. Its like a mash of Italy, France and Germany.

Girl scouts version of the pine wood derby? Making high speed chocolate bricks? Is this Rosie sponsored?

@acarr260: Just another example of why touring in Europe is no fun anymore.

@acarr260: Well, I have to admit nor do I, but opinions are free. Sounds like the Rolex compound was pretty snazzy.

@Rock517: We were at the Rolex headquarters in Luzern and they offer a free cleaning and inspection if you own one. So my friend gives them his and the guy promptly says it was a fake and hands it back. They argue. My friend's parents (both doctors) had bought it for him when he was born and gave it to him later. They took it apart and apologized, but it was really funny to see Frank's face at first. The disgusted look on the Rolex guy was priceless too - like he didn't even want to touch it.

@wookie1901: I don't own either. Actually, I haven't worn a watch in years. I have been to Luzern before (I recommend it, btw) and I was awed by the Rolex place in particular.

What'd I tell ya yesterday when they threw you out of the press center... they wanted you to go and sample all that Geneva has to offer... So, did you open a numbered Swiss bank account while you were out and about too...?

$120 for that?! I could make one myself for $15 with a blow molded RC body and a couple bags of chocolate chips.

So, you guys bringing me back a souvenir F1 chocolate-mobile or what?
@acarr260: I'm Partial to Omegas. Rolexes are certainly fine timepieces, but it seems much more about the name than the actual watch. No offense.

Filthy neutrals.

I hear that they make a decent watch too. Try stopping by Luzern (the Rolex capital).

So where's the sales lot filled with cars made of unwavering neutrality? Or did they lose that one among the towering piles of nazi gold?
