Correlation between your Rolex & your income :)
Hi Guys,
On reading the threads in this forum, I'm very surprised to see that sooo many of you's: - able to buy his/her 1st Rolex by the age of 25, - own more than Rolex, - can afford to give a Rolex as a gift to their parents, - etc etc etc. I had to save up until i'm 32 now, to buy my very own 1st Rolex :) Whats your secret??? Are you all sons of the Sultans? Won a Lottery? Or are you guys simply successful people in your careers - who bought their Rolex using your own income/savings? Is there a correlation between your Rolex and your income? Or is it more correlated to who your parents are? |

this is an enthusiast forum, so of course there will be a couple of watches floating around. for some, it's easy to buy as many as they want, for others it's not so easy, but, everyone is united by their love of watches, so, who cares?

Well said. I don't think this is a forum for rich people (some are) but rather, it is people who save to spend their money on watches they love. Others may spend their money on cars or video gaming or other technology items. Most people here prefer to spend that money on a watch. Simple.
