Do you think that a Rolex intimidates people?

I wonder if anyone else can relate...

It seems as though whenever I wear a non Rolex, my UN, Breguet, Corum, Pam, I always get compliments/comments... Nothing specific, and totally from non-wis types, but usually, "nice watch", or something similar...

But no one has ever said that when I wear one of my Rolex watches...

Now, no one ever crosses the room to say something about my watch, usually we are engaged otherwise, and the comment is made in closing etc...

So what do you think it is?
Is it that they think that a Rolex doesn't need a compliment -even a nonwis knows Rolex.
Or are they intimidated,
Or are they mentioning my other peices because they've never seen anything like them, and, even if they've never seen a Rolex, they've seen countless "homages" from timex to seiko, that they seem too pedestrian...?

Or maybe its just me... But no body other than Rolex owners ever say anything about my Roli...
