That's the magic of the interwebs. You never know what you'll find.

When I was in a corporate financial job in the '90s, I was wearing my Rolex TT DJ. Still am, as I await my Daytona... We dealt with a lot of investment bankers. It always made me chuckle that they would come in, impeccably dressed in expensive suits, and almost every one of them would be wearing an Hermes tie. With the tail of the tie not tucked into the tie, so you would easily see that it was an Hermes, as if the style of the silk wasn't self-evident enough. OK, they were $120 ties twenty years ago, and nice ones. But what made me chuckle is that the fashion for all these seven digit investment bankers was to wear their impeccable outfit with a Timex Ironman watch. All of them. With a nice suit. It's like if they wore Chuck Taylor basketball shoes with their suits. But that was the Wall Street style. And woe be to you if you varied from the script.

I don't know what they wear now.

I wear nice watches, give to charities, coach my kids at sports and hate to be generalized. What makes you think it ok to reference someone as a bastard sight unseen? Would be like me assuming you are an unsophisticated idiot but hate to insult idiots by lumping you together.

He was generalising. You made it personal, and got the thread closed.
