This clip was full of: Buy Rolex, it's the best if you're rich and want to show it off.
I also know people with 1000 times less money who know much more about watches, as for one fact is telling it all: They don't specially dream about the watches those rich guys are mostly collecting.
In my eyes, more you know about and appreciate mechanical wonders and less you need a gold Daytona.
More you have money and want to show a gained social achievement and more you need your gold Rolex.
I saw a bunch of people who love watches, just like the folks on this board. Yes, some of them were definitely rich, but so what...rich people like watches too. I thought that the excitement that was shown was sincere. Nothing wrong with Rolex infatuation. They gave a lot of screen time to Cartier, Richard Mille, GP, Patek too.
Oh, I got nothing against rich people...And yes, they was genuinely exited.
But they had a shallow vision about watches in my meaning: The guy proves it well when he tells to the GB Cartier president that they could sell bananas with Cartier written on it, put it on the wrist and it would sell...
And the boss answer that if Cartier stands where they are, it's because they never done that...( 19:35 to 20:08)
Seriously? Put some other rich guys doing this reportage...
And I was speaking about the only watches they bragged about in them "collection" and recommend to each-others when I spoke about Rolex...
