What is best a custom Rolex or a Rolex that is stuck in custom?

Buy a professional camera and you´re a professional
photographer, buy a flute and you own a flute.

By all accounts Mr IKEA was extremely frugal... drove an old Volvo, flew economy, had no desire for luxuries etc etc... do you think he would have owned a Rolex?

Also led the world in paying some of the lowest rates of tax in the world, apparently paid less than 1/2 a cent in the $, as one of the world richest people I find this sad, lets hope much of his billions somehow finds its way back to charity. I am not anti someone's success, that I respect not paying your share of tax just makes you a smarter criminal.
