Winners of Rolex wristwatches

Not sure if I posted this correctly. Attached is an article from Road and Track magazine about the winners and their Rolex wristwatch prize from three of the most prestigious car shows.

Here's what I find doubly ironic... most owners of multimillion$ autos would usually be wearing something similarly fancy on their wrist and anything Rolex awarded they'd already have same or better... other than the engraving, I guess.

(but ADs engrave Daytonas for free now, so I hear?? )

I was gonna say something along the lines of, "Not really surprised that the uber wealthy are also into watches" but took a different approach instead
