Is owning a Rolex a status symbol?

1 mountain will always be higher than another mountain.
If the person is bill gates..maybe got the right to lecture me lah...

but if ur dunno wad ..100 million networth...dun come lecture me..go fly kite lah.

go these kind of function..don't wear rolex...because rolex is totally out of the spectrum for high end watches...
surely those rich people with multi million $$ will look down on the brand one...

Well, when you're talking to the rich and famous.... is like that one la.
I won't say they are ignorant, just that they lead a different life from poor salaried worker like me. If you talk to them about cars, it'll probably end up the same way like this;

A : I see that you like cars alot. How many do you have?
Rich guy: Not many. a BMW7series for family use, a Modenas 360, Gallardo, a Maserati only.
A: What do you think of the Evo10 and the R35?
Rich Friend: Don't waste time on japanese cars la. Built quality sux.

haha

It's like that 1 la...just dun compare and be happy =)

I would say rolex offer best value for money. Vintage sport series Rolex prices increase faster than oil and gold price. For example a 1655 is selling a mere $1k+ in 1980. Now $30k+ with box and paper. Can apatek increase this much(30times) over the same period of time?

you are right... silver spoon fed babies end up to be the most ignorant baskits around. they look down on the earth, as if we work for them.

[elyjacob]

like they say, buy what you like.. end of storylah...

everyone is entitled to their opinion and imho, their opinion usually sways to the side they are more comfortable with... and usually what they are confortable with, they wear...

i like the iwc pilot chrono but my friend say there are better chronos around... but i like. so end of storylah.. don't be worried about what others say... enjoy your watches!!!

which is why i really muz say kudos to the bunch of people here in SGROC... i've met up with quite a number of them and they are all really really nice and down to earth people...

[seiko.citizen]

plenty of stuck up people up there, who think they are on top of the world ready to put you down in an instant. I personally dont like those type of people.
Many people in this world and best we leave them to their other bunch of stuck up friends.
