Siemens hides Rolex
I got this one in via e-mail by Martin, it is a reference to an article in a German magazine called Der Spiegel.

It’s about a Siemens manager who had his Rolex Sub retouched from his official press photo before announcing major layoffs. Pretty embarassing stuff.

I think the suit is more less the value of a Rolex as well. (Armani?) No time for a new Photoshoot!?!
For me the reason to wear a Tudor, good quality nice(r) look the brandname Rolex only on the back of the watch

He seems to look slightly less happy in the picture where his Rolex is gone, doesn’t he?

I would Chris!
I don’t understand the fuss though! I don’t see the link between firing all those people and a 4000 Euro wristwatch he probably worked hard for. Should he remove the BMW/Merc/Audi/VW (hey, he’s German) emblem from his cargrill as well?
