nono, I know the right way to spell it is "awesome", but "AWSOME ROLEX" is a
reference to someone who posted a Rolex-image, a few years ago, which he
said he modelled and rendered using POV-Ray but apparently he didn't model
it and it wasn't rendered with POV-Ray.  The subject of that post was
"AWSOME ROLEX".  So now, when they call something an "AWSOME ROLEX" they
mean it's too good to be true, too realistic to be made with POV-Ray.

Isn't that story part of the vfaq? :)
