San Martin vs Rolex

[wileeeeeey]

I do.
Will add to it when you buy and then sell the new Tudor Submariner.-)

First thing I saw when I unlocked my phone this morning. Must have fallen asleep reading a review!

Ha!

A lot of people who don’t like Rolex seem to buy cheap watches that look like them. Odd that.

[Daddelvirks]

A lot of people with more money than sense seem to buy Rolex, odd that.

Why is that ?

I’m sure the many Rolex owners and enthusiasts on the forum will be impressed with your insight.

It is interesting that members on here have such strong opinions on other peoples spending habits and assume that these people are complete idiots lacking any ability to make informed decisions for themselves.

I think it's interesting that many Rolex owners are so incredibly defensive about the brand - after-all, if it is The Greatest, surely that speaks for itself?
In any case, Rolex themselves constantly display their utter indifference to the opinions of all of us - Fans and Sceptics alike - and treat both groups with equal contempt.

Personally, I think a Rolex Submariner is by far the finest £1,000 dive watch that money can('t) buy, but I do resent the £9,000 donation towards their advertising costs...

You've got it back to front. The ones who buy Rolex are the ones who have less money and are more afraid of losing it.

Quite so!

Oh... But wait...



...and this from a source that is strongly motivated to hype prices...

What's this telling us then?

Cant comment on why people buy or dont buy a watch but what I do find strange about these brands is they do actually have some of their own original designs but they get considerably less interest on forums.

Could it be they just aren’t as popular maybe? I don’t know, and am only guessing as to why, because some of them are great looking watches.
