[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I disagree with the premise that Rolex is only acceptable if it’s exclusive. Someone upthread mentioned their watches cost more than single family homes. Fine, but I think money, wealth, class, etc IMO mean you can pretty much wear and do what you want (within reason).

I like my Rolex and I also like plain white tshirts from the Gap and Reeboks. If I think it’s good, I choose it. What is the use of having money and being in the 1% if I’m “required” to wear a 100K watch, fine cashmere, dressy shoes, and 10K coats? That kind of image is some weird idea of rich people that non-rich people and new money people seem to have.

A billionaire friend of mine drives a Mustang. I love him for that, lol. Fits his personality well. [/quote]

Yep. The billionaires and multimillionaires I know tend to have quirks, hobbies, interests. They aren’t worried about being on some exclusive waiting list to shop. That is ridiculous. Rich people also eat McDonalds and drink cheap beer. [/quote]

PP here. FWIW, that particular friend [i]is[/i] wearing a Rolex (but he wears it for sentimental reasons -- it was his grandfather's). [/quote]
