What is your salary if you own a Rolex?

Please don't inflate or lie. I am kinda of curious to see the range of salaries. This came up when I was having a discussion with a friend and his opinion was only people who make a lot of money have a Rolex. I told him that is not true because there are some people who appreciate the timepiece for what it is and they are not wealthy.

I am not asking you to share the number on this thread, the voting is anonymous as I selected not to share who voted or what they chose.

You can't be serious?

Why we share personal information like our earnings with you (especially when you failed to mention your salary)?

Isn't it enough to know we are all fortunate enough to be able to buy the watches.

I am not asking you to share it on the thread, the voting is anonymous as I selected not to share who voted or what they chose. I cant see what you voted for maybe the MODs can but this is similar to the "what you do for a living" thread.

This came up when I was having a convo with a friend and he said only people who make a lot of money own Rolexes and I think that is untrue.

I don't know how much I make a year

I don't know how much I make a month

I don't know how much I have in my bank account

I have a Rolex

I drive a 5 years old Toyota

I have 6 months off each year wich beats every salary.


and that's it.



It's way too difficult to make an estimate of one's wealth based on a watch,trust me....

Just cannot see what anyones salary has to do with owning a Rolex watch and such things are the members own business, and in general these types of threads lead to problems so thread closed.
