[QUOTE="coolhandluke, post: 3962241, member: 13284"] Just my personal experience Mike. Too many Rolex owners make damn sure that you're aware of what they wear on their wrist, whereas owners of other luxury watches don't. That type of behavior screams status symbol, not watch enthusiast. I know a few great guys that worked their butts off to own their Rolexes and appreciate the details and history behind the brand. But for every one of those types, there's a handful of others that bought it for the name recognition alone and as an implication to others that they're wealthy (they have it because they can). Aside from the issues getting a new watch from an AD, a Rolex is not so unattainably priced that the average middle class person wouldn't have the means to purchase one. I guess that I just don't understand the air of arrogance surrounding the brand. [/QUOTE]
