One only has to go to their own website to know they are meant to be status symbols. Rolex marketing is dripping with it.

Speaking for myself, I got my first Rolex in my 20's and would be lying if I didn't buy into the marketing, at least a little bit. After many years flipping through adverts targeted to the traveling, sporting professional, I couldn't resist.

Now in my 40's, I wear them for me. If it's something attached to my body, it might as well be the best I'm willing to pay for. Now, that's mostly Tudor money.

As cringy as some of these responses appear on the surface, at least they're honest.
