As far as watches go, nothing says: - "look at my bling, I've proper got money, you can tell because I've paid $8,000 for $500 worth of watch" - more than a Rolex.  |
What kind of person are you to call a Rolex $500 worth of watch HAHAHAHAHA.
Do you realize that Rolex has almost damn near created a near perfect automatic watch movement? A movement that can almost exactly mimic that of a quartz watch? Do you have any idea what kind of feat of engineering, skill, R&D, and craftsmanship that takes?
Only the amount that essentially no other watch manufacturer has been able to match.
Read this, come back, and apologize. You are making yourself look really bad:

And cheers, i don't want my post to come off the wrong way, but too many uneducated generalizations are being made in this thread.

Haha more generalization. Some brands have ridiculous margins (i.e. Movado, I laugh at how much they are marked up). Other high end brands (i.e. A. Lange & Sohne) are extremely highly priced but don't have that much wiggle room because they try to hold the value of their brand. Excessive markups cheapen it. That's why you see most Rollies sell for around the same price they were paid for.
