    One of my economy professors in university put it as “no one wears a Rolex to have a very accurate wristwatch”.

    There are benefits to buying “premium” brands in terms of quality and durability but after you get into the “luxury”/“designer” range it’s all about displaying wealth.

      Rolex is interesting because I think it’s the ugliest watches I have ever seen. I wouldn’t wear one if it was given to me. I don’t understand the appeal, and people who bought them could not explain it to me when I asked.

        Yeah I think Tudor, Rolex’s ‘value’ brand makes much nicer looking watches that I’d actually wear.
