Mens Rolex Watches

TweetEmailCasio recently had theirbrush with terrorism — now it's Rolex's turn. Accordingto thisReuters article, items like fake Rolexes and counterfeit designer handbags(in other words, things you buy on the street rather than in stores) may fund terrorism.Apparently there is evidence that counterfeiters in New York have sent money toHamas and Hezbollah, groups considered by the US government to be terrorist organizations.So far, there have not been any direct links to al-Qaeda, but don't let that soothyour conscience. That money is very difficult to track, so there's no telling whereit actually ends up.The article outlines several reasons why buying items like fake Rolexes is a reallybad idea:You don't know where the money is going. Whether buying a fake Rolex is fundingterrorism or not, the money is clearly going to someone who is morallydepraved.You don't know who makes these goods. Fake Rolexes are probably not made bychildren, but fake handbags very well could be produced by children in othercountries forced to work against their will.Counterfeiting takes tax revenue away from the state. If you're buying online,this is less of an issue, but if you're buying on the streets of New York,this could have a very real impact. Those tax dollars go toward creatingand maintaining government jobs. In other words, buying a fake Rolex doesn't justtake money away from Rolex (if fact, people who buy fake goods probably wouldn'tbuy the real thing, anyway), but could potentially jeopardize a state employee'slivelihood.The bottom line is that buying counterfeit goods is not a fun, harmlessactivity. My advice is that if you only have a few bucks to spend on a watch,there are plenty of excellent affordable options out there. If you really wantsomething Swiss, why buy a cheap fake Rolex when you can buy a nice authentic Swatch?For the cost of a high-end automatic fake Rolex, you could probably come prettyclose to buying an authentic Tissot. Check eBay for good deals (though be careful– there are plenty of scammers working online auctions, as well), or check themany watch forums out there. Or if you really have to have a Rolex on yourwrist, there's always the option of doing it the old-fashioned way, and actuallysaving up for it.

The fourth leg of the 2009/2010 Rolex FEI World Cup Jumping Series held at Verona, Italy made for a striking comeback by Michael Whitaker. After his suspension in June, it seemed like the British showjumper was on a mission. Even though the course created by Conrad Holmfeld and built by Frank Rothenberger proved to be extremely challenging with six retirements in the first round, it could not hold back Michael Whitaker. The 49 year old was the second in line at the five-horse jump-off and dominated the results with Insul Tech Amai. The runner-up position was slotted by Gilbert Bockmann from Germany while Kevin Staut from France finished third. Michael Whitaker cherished his win as it earned him his first-ever Rolex timepiece. He stated the course to be tricky and was all praise for his nine year old Belgian-bred Insul Tech Amai who has been with him for the past three years.Michael Whitaker successfully put all the controversies surrounding him behind and entered the Italian fixture in top form and was all set to prove a point to himself, his fans and the fans of jumping. On the 5th of November he came second with Portofino and on the 8th of November he decided to change the horse and compete with Insul Tech Amai as the latter horse had longer legs than Portofino. Competing in the Rolex FEI World Cup Jumping Series was an ideal opportunity for Michael Whitaker to jump back and rid himself of the controversy. Rolex supported sporting events have proved to be challenging grounds for all sportspersons. However, competing in these events is a matter of honour and prestige for sportspersons the world over. All Rolex supported competitions are egalitarian and provide a world-class platformfor all sportspersons. Rolex has pursued its aim of promoting human brilliance while sponsoring sports competitions and events. Its sole aim is to recognize and introduce the best sports talent to the world. Rolex also rewards its winners appropriately for their performance with Rolex timepieces that symbolize precision. Michael Whitaker stopped the clock at precisely 37.49 seconds. The precise timing can be relied upon as only a Rolex clock is used to time the events at the Rolex FEI World Cup Jumping Series. When only five riders were left to compete, Gilbert Bockmann and his stallion No Father's Girl were first up. They set a clear target of 38.14 seconds with a brilliant performance on the course. However, Michael Whitaker who has been performing fantastically since his return with a fourth-place finish at the World Cup in Syracuse stormed the track with Insul Tech Amai and took the lead. The Italian crowd eagerly awaited for the turn of their very own Natale Chiaudani. Natale Chiaudani is a European team silver medallist and his mare won the Grand Prix at Donaueschingen in September. However, the excited crowd soon gasped as the mare hit the vertical three from home and later both the elements of the penultimate double and collected 12 faults. Eric Van der Vleuten of Holland who is number two according to the overall standings, collected eight faults.
