What famous people don't wear ?
I have been planning to buy my first Rolex and i.e Submariner.

I've been to each and every review, forums, pictures etc etc

What I noticed is famous people or celebrities or politicians do wear Submariner but no two tone Submariner with the black dial.

Why is that ?

Who cares what "famous" people wear. Buy what you like then get famous so others emulate your style.

Why worry who wears what, just buy and wear the watch you want to wear nothing could be simpler.Or are you one of the type if some famous or some of so called celebrities told you to put your hand in the fire you would do it.

The ones with good taste wear stainless steel, the others have enough money to go all gold.

So the others who buy all gold don't have good taste?

Their agents advise them not to wear certain models of Rolex, specifically so that you can comment on it in this forum.

Oyster Perpetual is a stripped down Date Just...no date and 34mm. Doubt that dufus wears them.

Personally, I don't care what movie star "celebrities" wear...and I care even less about Tennis & Golf pros. Zzzzz. ;-)

Lol... Just buy what you like and stop worrying about what others wear or don't wear. I buy whatever I think would look good on MY wrist and that makes me happy. I don't care if I'm the only one in the world that wears that kind of watch... I like it and that's what matters
