I am not sure about this, but perhaps Tabs is correct about most people do buy the watch for status symbol. However, I would like to say that I would be the exemption:
1. Most people say that they own Porsches because of status symbol. I for one never tell people that I own 911s. I have them because I like them. I even got caught in the office driving the P-car and the coworkers said "How come you never talk about the P-Car?" I just politely say, "Oh, it is just an old car."
2. When people say, "Oh, a Rolex, huh?", I just say "Just a fake one."
