They are honestly watches for people who don’t give a F what we think….. and don’t have to.

Show me a rich guy wearing a Timex or Casio and that's a guy who doesn't care what *anybody* thinks. |

You’re thinking about the rich, not the wealthy. They’re very different. The Gates, Buffets, Musks, Bezos, etc of the world couldn’t give 2 what anyone thinks. The real estate developer in south beach might though… or Bezos might flip over his girlfriend digging Leonardo DeCaprio but that’s a different subject Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

So... footballers and they guys at TPG. Wonder how many watches RM gives away for free every year so their product gets exposure. When the watch inevitably get stolen, do the footballers/etc have to pay for it or do they another free one? Anyone know?

They are more of a status symbol indeed, and were marketed as such. |

All of these are capable of playing the exact same role in their circles, and realistically far more than any (serially-produced) watch, RM or not. And this is forgetting about the actual PR people and lobbyists under their employ, which by definition contradicts any notion that this ilk of person doesn’t care about others’ opinions. In many ways, they care far more than we ever will, and need to, as it is only on account of the historical grace of the unwashed masses (us) they have been able to rise to their lofty heights, and hope to stay there. |

Just because Gates wheres a $20 Casio and Buffett wears a Timex doesn't mean a thing. Absolutely nothing. It just means they aren't into high horology. Just like I'm not into cigars, but a lot of "wealthy" people are. Doesn't mean in order to be successful like me, you should also *not* be into smoking cigars. Warren Buffett isn't into supercars. Other billionaires are. It means absolutely nothing. The silly articles I see say things like "See? Only the non-true wealthy minded people care about Richard Mille, or Patek, or Rolex. Bill Gates wears a $20 cheapo watch." I wear Richard Mille, Patek, Rolex, high-end watches for me and me alone. I do not post them on social media. I do not care what other people think. |
