Of course, esp the 2nd one and the last one.

veefour · 3 May 2009, 02:29 AM

Should I care?

diablojota · 3 May 2009, 02:40 AM

I don't care what it tells other people. I am not defined by what watch or what clothes I wear. I do like what I think is the best, but all of that is subjective.

Lion · 3 May 2009, 02:41 AM

I didn't buy a Rolex for it to be a status symbol and at my age I do not care what other people think!!!

If a young good looking woman tells me she likes me becasue of my Rolex, I know she is telling the truth. If an average woman tells me she likes me becasue of my good looks, I know she is lying. Guess I will go for the shallow ones that tell the truth. I wear a Rolex for the chicks.

It's a little bit of all of the above. Started with me seeing it on a magazine spread, then the passion of fulling a dream of owning "it" one day. Kind of an expensive way for me to remind myself that life is real and so can our dreams.

padi56 · 3 May 2009, 03:30 AM

All my Rolex does is just tell the time,and today there are millions upon millions of Rolex watches in this world today, so hardy a Status symbol if you are into that sort of thing.

al_bongo · 3 May 2009, 03:54 AM

Not sure what a Rolex tells people about you since the majority of people out there won't recognize a watch as a Rolex and if they do they assume it's a fake.

For those that do recognize the brand, generally I'd say it tells them I'm nuts to pay that much for a watch on my salary.

KJacques · 3 May 2009, 04:01 AM

The way I see it, the watch is the last thing they should notice.

landroverking · 3 May 2009, 04:02 AM

I buy watches to please me and no one else. Some are vintage, some cheap and some are Omega's and Rolex's. Not sure except for WIS folks what anyone cares or thinks.

Jones · 3 May 2009, 04:03 AM

That i like fake watches...

mcubed · 3 May 2009, 04:03 AM

oops,
If I want mine to be a status symbol, I better clean the paint spatters of it first

Actually, where I live (the "deep south"), Rolexes all over the place. So I think all it says is you like Rolexes, or just wanted something nice.

Honestly, Rolexes are expensive FOR A WATCH, but not as much as a new roof, a new furnace, private school, a new transmission for an Audi Quattro, a vacation for 4, a new plasma TV, a bedroom set, the average engagement ring etc. I guess what I am saying that a Rolex does not say much about your financial status. Not in the same way as tooling around in a 150K Aston Martin, or something to that effect.

T5AUS · 3 May 2009, 04:06 AM

I like to be a bit subtle about it and not be too in your face when I wear mine, I think the chicks prefer that kind of quiet sophistication

Nothing worse than a show off

mikeyatc · 3 May 2009, 04:07 AM

I like nice things. Cars, motorcycles, watches or whatever.

londonbagpuss · 3 May 2009, 04:09 AM

Jocke, that picture was the funniest thing I have seen in a while on this site! Thanks for the laugh!
