Statements like:

>Here is why I will NOT buy a rolex.

: Rolex for what I would call the good
: reasons) who simply wants to show their
: status, that what to show that they have
: money.

WTF are you talking about??

> I do not want to be
: associated with all of these people that
: just care about impressing other people. Who

: CEOs, not public figures but middle
: managers, yuppies, chinese business men with

>That why I do not feel like putting a Rolex on
: my wrist that is why I will go for the AT of
: the JLC master reveil. They are as elegant
: if not more than the rolex theit mechanical
: movement is as good but I will not have to
