The only downside I have come across is that I want MORE ROLEXES...

They're common. I was in a restaurant in South Beach the other week and it was a sea of Rolex's and Panerai's. It looked like a Rolex AD convention. And this is the same for a lot of well trafficked places.

The imagery that accompanies Rolex wearers - flash, no taste, and more money than sense.

If you can live with that then keep buying and wearing!

that is what my manager at the last job said to me when she saw my DJ peeking out of my sleeve. they may be jealous: i dont care!

honestly, the things we do for our hobbies is amazing. this is just another hobby for most of us.

I actually don't think they're jealous. People feel the same about BMW owners. they just don't want to be associated with that kind of imagery.

The good thing is that for the majority a Rolex is invisible - they're not looking for one and don't see them even when they're right in front of them on someone's wrist.
