Me: Uhm... well, I guess a Tudor would be a basic model Rolex... I... uhm.. guess like the Fiesta is a basic Ford, but if the basic Ford had a different division name... like.... uhm ��Basic or something Him: But... Cellini and Tudor ARE Rolexes.... right? Me: Uhm... well, yes... but.. they are Cellinis and Tudors.... See? Him: Uhm... and... your watch, says: ��Rolex' on it... it's... a Rolex(?)
