Why would you ever think the ANC agents would be any easier or nicer letting "a couple" of watches through the gates?

I just can't put my brain into a place where I would buy a fake watch.

You want to wear a Rolex- cough it up! Otherwise get a nice $300 brand....

Keep it up and we'll ALL get our bags searched.....

Best watch for the $$, IMO. It's awesome. $650 retail, you can find it on line for the low to mid 300's. No battery, no setting time (radio updated automatically) and every time zone on the planet.

[QUOTE=N9373M;879335]Excuse the ignorance. Were the watches real? 600 for a Rolex? Did the co-pilot have receipts? is Jimmy's known for "questionable" merchandise.

I'm sure all the intl guys/gals appreciate the heads up.

1. NO
2. YES
3. NO

We all know what goes on when one buys a watch from Jimmy or Debbies. However a bottle of wine. I'm just passing along what happened to us and some UPS pilots.

That's only because you have no sense of humor. They have their place. What you do is stand among a crowd of people overlooking the water, and have your accomplice inquire about your rolex loudly. Then you look at it and say "this piece of sh*& never kept good time, I've had it with it!" and throw it far out into the sea while the surrounding spectators gasp.

Others might use it to impress idiots, also can be a sport if done right.

And are they indies or undies? Inquiring minds want to know

"One Capt was bringing back a couple of bottles of wine and ...."

Asian wine? Is there any worth drinking? (seriously). Does it come with a snake/bird/frog in the bottle? (not seriously)

I could never see why anyone would pay jimmy or his ex-wife so much money for fake watches. Heck... if you're gonna spend that kinda money, spend it on one of those sweet Citizen watches. Pilots are such cheap a$$ numb nuts. Pinchin' pennies every where they shouldn't so they can give it away on a "great investment" opportunity. However, if you're gonna spend money on a fake, get those fake Callaway golf clubs. Now that's money well spent!

Yeah... those Korean customs guys would have been drooling over your clubs, they wouldn't have noticed your watches....
