Sigh.

Rolex is crass, OK? Rolex is for ignorant, not-actually-rich people who want to flaunt their not-wealth, or for people with more money than sense. It's pathetic.

If he's in a group that suddenly is interested in Rolexes, then tell him that his friends lack discernment and taste, and that Rolex is not a signifier he wants to show off.

You need to educate your children about what their appearance signals to others. I know youth is the time to make style mistakes. But come on - he can buy his own Rolex and make his own style mistake when he makes his own money!

Do your research and suggest something more tasteful.

My kid is a musician and wished ardently for a better sounding instrument. Since she plays well, I bought an 85K instrument with great sound. She plays every day, and I hear my investment every day. Hence, I'm not opposed to spending large sums on kids, not at all! But come on. Exercise a little taste, why don't you.

What instrument?[/quote]

There isn't one. That PP is working on their creative writing skills. [/quote]

Sorry to disappoint, it's a violin and bow. Why would I make this up? I didn't buy her a 15M Stradivarius. I do know some Russian billionaires who buy their teens Stradivarius-level violins... but I'm not at that level of wealth, or ridiculousness :-)

And I stand by what I said about Rolexes. It's only the tasteless people, rich or not rich, who buy them. No, the Submariner is not well regarded. [b]If you can write such drivel, you know nothing about the upper crust watch world[/b]. I do know what I'm talking about, despite not having a personal interest in watches.

NP here. The horror of not knowing about the upper crust watch world. 😂[/quote]
