With all due respect, I beg to differ.

The very image of the Rolex wearer, as evidenced by those who endorse Rolex, is one of an individualist who does what he or she does without excessive concern for what others might make of it. Why, then, be bothered if someone thinks it's just a watch or the best thing since horological sliced bread? As far as one is concerned, wearing a Rolex is simply a matter of course.

I have read 3 pages worth of posts on why we wear a Rolex watch instead of a Timex. Many put forward good and thoughtfull reasons explaining the reward, recognition, achievement, association, etc notions behind it.

So , why do I wear a Rolex and not a Timex?

Because I CAN.

End of story. More and more I feel that a person who has the audacity to ask you such a question deserves this answer.
