And realistically if you look after a Rolex it is a low to no depreciation asset. You are just caretaker for a generation.

The way I see it, it’s a watch that will last forever, so what you’re paying for is not only luxury (it applies to other brands as well, not only Rolex)

It’s a BMW. You have some money but nothing to brag about. Snooze... I’ll stick to no watch. Seems good enough for the people who actually have something to brag about.

do folks here genuinely like the way the designs look or is it more of a status symbol?

Which watch?

I realized a slow pace at work is really bad for me. A couple years ago I was experiencing burn out from my fast paced job supporting transactions, and believed by moving to a slower job in a lower cost area, I would be sailing off to the sunset. Wrong, I spend weeks following up with other teams, often times they forgot what we discussed, so I spent 50% if the time reminding them of the topics and next steps. I spend most of my time writing memos no one will read.
