Oh, they bought them for themselves. You know, go buy a Rolex because it's a Rolex crowd. They wouldn't know a Yachtmaster from a Miligauss.

Yes, resale is a factor.
Ahhhh, that's the 'problem' or, shall we say 'difference', between the Rolex collectors you know and the general public who desire the 'right brand' watch i see at hundreds of luxury audio events. Event exhibitors generally do know bit and buy more carefully (B&R, MB&F, Omega, IWC, very interesting European/Russian brands, etc), yet attendees seem to be the 'go out and buy a Rolex because it's a Rolex' type.

Like many here, we see someone wearing... and so we want to strike up a conversation about timpeieces. :)

I strongly doubt anyone buying a Rolex wouldn’t differentiate between a milgauss and ym... at least I hope so. I certainly knew the difference manynwacthes ago.
