Also holds true for the poorest people I know. It’s us middle class that have just enough to purchase a Rolex to make ourselves feel wealthy.

There is actually a lot of truth to both these statements!

I have heard this theory but the people I know that own private jets also wear Rolex watches. Same is true in my car club and concours events. The nicest cars generally have owners wearing Rolex watches. My buddy has always wore a Daytona but also owns a Carrera GT and drives it regularly on our cruises and also flies his helicopter everywhere. It could be a appreciation for the mechanical watch and the big boy toys but I also see a quality of lifestyle consistency.

The fact that you have to defend that says otherwise.

You can't be too kind to the rest of these guys here. They want to get on your level. It's like a 10kd in cod.

Meh... They spend money in other ways to let you know they got it. House, cars, vacations.. something.

Yachts. My friend in Singapore has a yacht with a full time crew. He wears an Apple watch. His wife wears a petek, ap, etc.... So.... meh is right. The whole I'm a billionaire so I have to dress poor thing is for boomers. Or people near death.

I'd say private jets and boats are a bigger flex than rolex.

Your friends are obviously middle class according to some people here. Lol

The reality is people don't care what others have or not these days. It's all just appreciating the good things we have and are blessed with.

To be honest I don't even have a job. Lol. I've never actually had a job.
