Maybe if people pointed it out to the management things might improve, although sometimes these attitudes are passed down the management ladder.

Started out with nothing. Still have most of it left.
If you want a Rolex, buy a Rolex and enjoy it.
If you want a Chinese "homage", buy a homage and enjoy it.
If you don't like Rolex or their homages, don't buy them, choose something that you do like.
The d*ck waving about it all is tedious.
Devils advocate for a moment, but isn't a Rolex, similar to say a Porsche, plausibly a wee bit of a dicky waving substitute in and of itself ?, obvs applies to no one here we're all too wise for this... Speaking more generally of the man in the street as it t'were...otherwise how to explain the Rolex advertising, sponsorship and branding, perhaps the most on point association being with Bond, Connery era of course, also there was Red Adair iirc, and other manly men I'm sure there's folks here could bring them to mind, name more than I.
If you're inclined to be a dicky waver, then anything and everything has the potential to be a substitute for ones penis.
If you aren't inclined to be a dicky waver then you could wear a greubel or a journe or a rolex or a casio or a seiko or a swatch without any consideration whatsoever of where it might put you in the pecker order.
The watch isn't the problem.
Why can't I buy them just because I like them, same goes for. cars, but that's a completely different subject
I guess people who don't have nice things might try to disparage them as just 'dicky waving' by those who do. Could it be a little bit of jealousy on the part of some perhaps?

Yep, there it is, the jealousy card, and no surprise who played it. Personally I love ‘nice’ things, I even own some, but do so without the ‘being ripped off’ feeling. Nice things have all to do with taste, not with loadsamoney.
Got a new watch, divers watch it is, had to drown the bastard to get it!
I don’t think Rolex owners in general have a ‘being ripped off’ feeling. And expensive things can be just tasteful as much as less expensive ones. Personally I have watches costing from £20 upwards and enjoy wearing them all.
To try and put all Rolex owners into the ‘loadsamoney’ category is just silly, especially on a watch forum where watches valued over £20k regularly feature.
