I'm not going to say you're completely wrong with your statement, either. Many are attracted to Rolex because it has prestige and is one of the only watch brands associated with wealth that the common non-watch person will know.

But, please understand that many true watch lovers buy Rolex because of what they are. Same with Patek. Same with ALS. There's a unique quality to all of the high end watch manufacturers and to say that Rolex is just a mass-produced hyped brand isn't a fair statement, they're a lot more than that and had to be a lot more than that over many decades to even attain the status they have.

Well said
