It shows the implied status reflected in every single pixel of Rolex advertising.

You never see photo's Ken Federer the plumber or Jack Stewart the
bank security guard in the expensive ads. Your either Chuck Yeager, Kiri Tikanawa or Jordan Spieth etc, or you nobody. Rolex have been ramming
the associated glamour, wealth, celebrity, status symbol imagery in our faces
for 50 years or more, and we, happy Rolex buyers, stroll up, slap our cash
down and pay for it all.
I'm glad I bought mine, years ago, before 'the madness'.(happy days)

When will the bubble burst?
