And it doesn’t even matter if you need to be rich to buy a Rolex, what matters is that if you’re wearing one, the large. majority of folks who see it are going to think you’re successful. That’s the very definition of a status symbol.

Exactly.
I mentioned Tag Heuer above. People wont even walk into a Tag Heuer boutique because they can’t afford a $2,800 watch. And these same people know a Rolex is on a completely different level than Tag.
