Rolex = materialistic sometimes?

Anyone here ever feel a little too materialistic sometimes? I mean, rolex is a brand and it is something that is material, right. And to the general public, Rolex is know to be somewhat of a status $$$ symbol. And im sure that 90% of people buy rolex just for that.
I know I shouldn't care about what other people think. But sometimes in situations when your around yours humble friends and family or anybody that dont really care for timepieces. I honestly kind of hide my watch and hope nobody notices. To these people that dont understand our passion can totaly think that we can be materialistic, no? I mean I know I didnt buy my watch to be noticed or whatever. But somethings I can't help feeling that way or maybe I just dont want people seeing me that way.

Or does anyone here sometimes ever feel a little shallow? ...like when you notice yourself always looking at other peoples wrist when out in public.
Sometimes I'll catch myself checking out other people wrist just too see what they are wearing. And sometimes I feel shallow. haha

I dont know...I mean I have friends that like expensive cars and watches just because of bling status. and the watches are just for show and I just dont want people to look at me that way. Its like buy a watch because you like it not because its bling.

Stupid?
