Whats up with Rolex spam? Did I miss something?

My work addy got put on a spam list several years ago probably from an unscrupulous person at a trade show. Anyhoo, we're too cheap to subscribe to a spam filter services, so I get about 200 spams a day, which actually isn't a big deal unless I take a vacation. I don't really pay attention to them and delete by reflex, but occasionally the sheer amount of one topic catches my attention. It seems like in the last week or two every third spam is trying to sell me a Rollex? Where is that coming from and why?

I once got spam with the subject line "Whale Cock". Let me just say that I had no desire to click on that one!

Oh, so this isn't my own personal hell. Looks like you're all coming with me!

Edit*... Unless this is Drazzil using an email list of old GG'rs to get rid of that Black Panther watch he has. I figured they would come looking for it someday. I believe he said it was a Rolex right?

I get ~200 spam mails a day at my work account.

Preposterous. Even if I wanted to read all the wonderful offers, I wouldn't have time for all of them.
