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. If you can write such drivel, you know nothing about the upper crust watch world. I do know what I'm talking about, despite not having a personal interest in watches.[/quote]

The Sub is iconic.

It’s accurate to +/- 2 seconds a day, antimagnetic, sufficiently water resistant and fairly robust with one of the most comfortable bracelets in the business. The Rolex Glidelock clasp is a game changer as well.

I’d take a Sub over an AP Royal Oak Offshore or a GO SeaQ any day. The Sub is smaller, thinner, and more understated.[/quote]
