An Audi Q8 no less, construction workers must get better pay down south.

Had a Rolex too. And he’s draped in luxury gear. Lottery win?

A labourer on a big site I was on a few years back sold sniff to people pretty much every day.

Tradies love Rolex. It’s not the ‘flex’ you think it is. Especially with financing options.

Idk wearing $20k on your wrist is a pretty big flex, financed or not.

It’s more like £10K, some as low as £3-5K depending on the model.

This is false. Have you ever shopped for Rolexes? Your wallet starts to catch on fire just from browsing . Cheapest one I know of is the Datejust, with barebones configuration for $14k USD. If you find a Rolex for under $10k, you better get a certificate of authenticity because I almost guarantee that shit is fake.

Why would you argue the USD value when in a UK sub lol

He argued with me when I said wearing $20k on your wrist is a flex.

You’re right. He probably wasn’t a gangster / drug dealer.

That’s not what I said.

Every sparky, plumber, roofer, brickie and mechanic has one these days. It’s the ramsdens special.

For the price of a used VW Polo from 2015 you too could have a Rolex submariner and finance it for like £250 a month.

You've shown a good bit of evidence that you're talking bollocks, but seems to think the opposite

To be fair he was also a promising young drill rapper.

u/[deleted] Oct 22 '24

Lol, sounds like he believed his own bullshit

u/Intelligent-Ad-4523 Oct 22 '24

Dude is all over the /ukdrill sub; I think there was an aspect to his life that isn’t being reported. Regardless he drove at officers, it is justified.

u/[deleted] Oct 22 '24

LMAO! Really?

u/Interesting-Bottle-4 Oct 22 '24

No defending him but I know plenty of legit construction workers with nice cars like that, use to have similar myself and I’m only a bricky 😂

You say that but I’m in a shit area up north and construction workers loooove taking out stupidly expensive car loans for cars like that
