We are 6.6 billion people in the world.

If we take an educated guess that 1 in 10,000 people in the WORLD own a Rolex, would that be a reasonable guess?

At first I though 1 in 10,000 is high, thinking about most countries in Africa; there are millions of people, but not many Rolexes (real ones!) BUT Rolex makes well north of a million watches a year (looking at serial #s), so 1 in 10,000 only means there are 660,000 owners. Considering the millions pumped out just over the last 10 years, it's more like 1 watch for every 500 people on Earth! Is my math wrong here? |
