A Rolex is a complete waste of money.

A Rolex is a complete waste of money. For less than a very small fraction of the price of a Rolex you can get a watch that will perform just as good or possibly even better. The only reason Rolex owners have Rolexes is to show they can afford one. And they can't wait to tell you about it. Parents that teach their children that successful people buy overpriced trinkets are losing an opportunity to teach their kids the difference between 'good enough' and conspicuous consumption.
