Times of India: Breaking news.

-Protest has taken place all across India against Rolex. People have destroyed their Rolex watches. Stores selling Rolex watches has been burnt down in Delhi.
Government of India has demanded immediate apology from Rolex (yelling voice of Arnab)

This is a developing event, more to follow. Stay tune.

lol that could legit happen. They should be more mad at the Indian President and Prime Minister who accepted this as a gift.

Such a useless topic to discuss. It shows the entire Sri Lanka and Bangladesh as part of India. And oh, parts of Nepal, Bhutan and Pakistan too. People have too much time in their hands.

Kashmir 1 - India 0

Well it shows most of Kashmir (Including POK), a considerable part of Sind, the whole of the former East-Pakistan and Sri Lanka to be a part of India.

I wonder whose geography is worse, the Rolex designer's or yours.

Doubt anyone no matter how "patriotic" will destroy their own Rolex (unless they are a Thai knock off, that is). Nobody will willingly harm themselves or their valuable property. Agree with the burning of stores though.

That watch looks hideous.

 

[Greenstorm]

I think Kashmir is shown in the map just below 12.

That's no Kashmir, that's another state of india

Not bad for it's time (no pun intended ).

It's worth >$400,000

Exactly. And Bangladesh was a part of Pakistan back then.

People have too much time on their hands.

Great pun if intended.

Worth a bit then. Any idea where the stolen watch may be?

Good on Rolex to ensure all their goods are genuine and not fake by having Kashmir as part of India.

 

[JaDed]

Tbf that part of Kashmir which India has now,is on the rolex along with Lahore,Nepal,Bangladesh,Lanka.

To get a clear picture:



Self goals are good.

Have seen various threads about kashmir since 2011 but this is perhaps the lamest thread on that subject.

OP didn't even bother to just look at the map and notice the anomalies.
