[QUOTE="JEVapa, post: 3962224, member: 41176"] Sorry bro but I think disagree with this entire statement, at least from my perspective. I've never met anyone that has a Rolex, that has it just to say they have a Rolex and must validate the ownership except 1 dude. But he's car-watch-house poor and easily distracted with shiny sh*t. It is actually 180 deg out from what you're saying. 90%+ I know that have Rolexes don't act like that. Even some of the suits I work with that have a Rolex have it because they can and they wear them daily. I wear mine everyday and I'll swap out with a Seiko or something on occasion, but for the most part, I wear it daily in almost any condition. Hunting, gardening, digging holes, fixing fences, laying sod, rocks, whatever. Referencing not wearing one in front of customers; I don't have customers like that. I wear mine in front of anyone I'm dealing with. If I had a customer base that would assume I'm funding my Rolex habit, I'd be more worried about their ability to pay then some outward appearance. Now, I have experienced people asking why I have one, or making some statement about it being a rich thing, or "watch-poor" (really had a dude say that) all while showing me their (insert not-a-Rolex watch brand) and telling me it was just as good and they didn't need to spend money on a watch and blahblahblah. But it's not the same. Not even close. It screams "jealous". I do agree with almost everything [USER=24867]@thor447[/USER] said, but, the two I have beside being just Rolexes and "money in the bank" as you say, are hands down the best utility and hard use watches I've ever used or owned. period. I think people are afraid to use their watches as intended. I wish I would spent my TDY money on a Rolex instead of guns when I was in. Now I know why dudes would get them. On another note, I really like the Longines and the Panerai that just popped up. I'm a big fan of those. [/QUOTE]
