Incorrect. I said no such thing, "basically" or otherwise. Rolex DJ-buyers, dog-owners, model sailing ship builders, it makes no difference....assuming someone's disinterest-in or as having a superficial relationship with something merely because they don't join and participate in an internet forum would be silly, and an exercise in self-aggrandizement of the forum-joiner (not that that's uncommon, it's not, and this groupthink phenomenon prevalent on forums is just another reason why self-selecting polls are wildly unreliable. Combine that with minuscule sample size and the results are completely worthless for extrapolation). As I wrote here, but you may have missed;

Most Rolex owners aren't even aware of TRF's existence. Most who do, would think it's a waste of time because most people in the world don't join any kind of internet forum, not even for things they are into.
I'd like to ask you a question or two in return, a couple different ways, based-on what the latest numbers from this popularity contest "poll" indicate and also if they could be considered a reliable source that reflects actual sales in the real world.

Do you believe that for every 1 Datejust Rolex sells, they sell 2 Day Dates, 3 Daytonas, 4 GMTs, and 9 or 10 Submariner/SD/DSSDs?
Out of every 100 watches Rolex sells, are only 4 of them Datejusts?
Does the Explorer II outsell the Datejust?
