That's an association that Rolex doesn't need.

Does "Rollie" count? If so I think Rolex would move up the list.

I find it kind of amusing, and hypocritical, that rap stars can brag about their wealth but if a politician's wife does it it is somehow obscene and she has to apologize for it (not that I'm a fan of this guy's politics-but we'll leave that out of the discussion).

^ lol at xanax making the list.

I can understand members here not appreciating certain associations with the brand but one way or another popular music has sold a ton of watches for Rolex and I'm sure Rolex likes the attention.

With a 17 year old in the house and three brother inlaws between 16-23 I get to listen to all manner of music haha

Funny enough I hear Hublot and Audemars more then Rolex but designer clothes and car brands seem to be the most prevalent

With all due respect to the current crop of rappers, Ric Flair was bragging on his Rolexes before most of them were even born.

BMW not on the list. That's surprising as in the 90's all rap stars were driving Beemers.

In a not too far off way BMW is #1 on the list (7 series = Wraith). The people rapping about it just don't know it

I love that Xanax equaled Rolex - You definitely need quite of few of those after your first Rolex purchase.
