It must be something like 15 or so years since I first saw a reference to
the "AWSOME ROLEX!" (if I'm remembering the typo correctly) here. I'm not
even sure what the origin of this meme is, and whether it's exclusive to
the povray community, or to more generic rendering communities.
Does anyone remember the history of the expression?

Search p.b.i the original posting should still be there.
Essentially, some troll posted a rendering of a Rolex watch that was
neither modeled by him, nor was it rendered with POVRay.
The only text, IIRC, was "AWSOME ROLLEX" He was subsequently called out.

So has the expression come to mean "superbly photorealistic rendering"
or "fake plagiarism"? I must confess I'm not exactly sure.

Spammers trying to sell fake Rolex watches.

TinEye.com does not find a match. Is there a point in having them add
povray.org to the database?

I'm almost certain that's not the history of the expression here.
