Rolex is a watch that poor and middle class people think is a rich person’s watch.
Most well-known “luxury” brands are. Real rich person’s brands won’t even bother selling to the poor. There’s currently a meltdown among the middle class because Hermes is laughing them out of the store. It’s quite funny.
Just to be clear - Hermes is also a fucking waste of money that serves no purpose other than to signal your membership in a club that has no value to society.

I couldn’t and wouldn’t fuckin live that way and I will stick with my Casio a158, thanks.

Lol. That’s a status symbol in different circles. Anyone I see someone wearing a classic Casio, I know we’re going to get along.
