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.

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.

Well, I remember seeing the subject line in spam mail before spam filters
got better....so perhaps the person who posted the original post with
that image/idea in it was spoofing the spam messages.
You asked where it started - I would not be surprised if it didn't start
with the spammers' subject lines being spoofed by someone saying "let's
make a watch that looks like a Rolex and use that subject for my posting
of the image".

I'm pretty sure it is. This happened a couple years before I showed up, but
I remember reading about it a few years ago.
So, he actually used pasted-on textures, rather than creatnig a nice
rendering using metallic textures?

Actual plagiarism misrepresented as raytraced art, or non-value-added
photorealism.

Indeed, that is the original that started it all. I'm quite surprised Warp
doesn't remember it cause I sure do. The group has been having fun with that
one ever since.
