The sunglasses are actually a health hazard. They are unpolarized but dark. This defeats the eyes natural defense to bright light. UV radiation can increase your risk of developing a cataract or macular degeneration.

 I  wonder who'd spend 100s of k purchasing a Rolex from an authorized dealer in Thailand. I'm sure they're genuine, but when  friends ask where it's bought, the prestige sinks like a lead Balloon, not to mention the secondhand value- with a receipt from a Pattaya Rolex shop😂

I bought a Olrex Yoster off a black bloke at a market on the border between Monaco and Italy. They get the insides from the actual factory and fake the rest apparently. The bloke started at 30euro but I resolutely bargained him down to 22euro. I lost it in a burglary so it probably serves me right.
