Saw this on IG. What do you think?

I saw this on Instagram and wondering what everyone thinks. Has the craze for Rolex gone overboard? What are your thoughts?

It would have to be fake, because the size of a BMW logo is much bigger than the BLNR...

Photoshop or decal. Weird.

If it’s real and not photoshopped, people have definitely gone overboard. Wondering what the resale value would be

Would anyone actually do this? Kinda funny but I’m sure it’s fake.

Would anyone print a sticker of a BLNR and put on in their car?

umm...why not?

I guessing it's there so they will know exactly what time the accident happened.

Incredibly tacky. I feel like a Rolex owner wouldn't do this. I recall seeing a full-back tattoo of a Submariner somewhere on the internet a few years ago. Seems like this is in the same vein.

Why would someone do this? Same thing I wonder with every bumper sticker I try to ignore.
