>What is your excuse?

The ROLEX brand wristwatch is the most commonly faked watch in the world. So when people see you wearing a real one, they ALWAYS assume you're wearing a fake one.

The Rolex is also the brand worn by Hipsters. They buy old Rolex watches and fit them with a fabric strap. Since Hipsters are absolute morons, they usually get duped into buying fakes (because Hipsters are cheap assholes). So this means you are choosing to wear a watch that is the preferred brand worn by Hipster Assholes.

There's the value. The only reason why Rolex watches are so expensive is because they offer a Lifetime nearly unconditional warranty... which is something nobody else ever did. These days most watches can be repaired or fixed with replaceable parts. Functionally, a Rolex is no better than most $99 watches on the market.

The most likely people to buy Rolex watches are Dentists and Doctors... but these days they buy FAKE Rolexes and fit them with REAL arms and dials stripped from second hand watches. Making them a CHEAP Frankenstein watch.

Then there's the high cost. Rolex's made from gold will contain LESS than one and a half ounces of gold. This means that in base-metal value they ought to be worth $2K. Not $22K. They even sell Stainless Steel models at over $12K.

Finally, there's the fact that EVERY other watch maker emulates the Rolex style. This makes Rolex a BORING watch to look at.

Because they cost a the GDP of a small third world country just for a "cheap" one. And they are not all that good looking.

Honestly, why would you spend a small fortune for a function your smartphone, dumbphone, and even your microwave can do as well?

Oh but you can't carry your microwave on your wrist. Nigga, I wear a pipboy. Get on my level.

While I won't argue many of your points as they're hilarious and mostly true, you are wrong on a few fronts.

>The only reason why Rolex watches are so expensive is because they offer a Lifetime nearly unconditional warranty

No. Current warranty on any Rolex is 5 years. They've recently extended that from 3 years. They were never lifetime. As they produce mechanical watches which require periodic service, they would be stupid to offer a lifetime warranty and lose money on those service costs.

There are many reason a Rolex is expensive, but they essentially boil down to build quality, performance, and largely the brand name itself. You're paying for a luxury good, and a luxury brand name.

>Rolex's made from gold will contain LESS than one and a half ounces of gold.

Only two-tone stainless and gold models. Solid gold models vary based on which specific model is in question, the bracelet design, and age of the watch (they've changed construction and design of cases and bracelets over the years- older models are not as solidly built as current models). Anyway, any given solid gold model will weigh between 100-200 grams depending on sizing (perhaps a bit less if put on a leather strap). As that's 18kt gold, you can ballpark 75-150 grams of pure gold, which is about 2.5-5 ounces of gold.

You're not just paying for the gold with a gold model, there's extra prestige that has a price. Again, you're paying for luxury here.

I'm not dumb enough to fork over large chunks of my hard-earned money for shiny rocks. In the digital age, such a device serves no function, it's just manjewelry. You are a materialist, and you are going to try and push your materialism on me to justify your own waste of money as some kind of social requisite.

Also that watch is hideous, it looks like twelve year old girl took some glue and colored plastic beads to a department store women's watch. I'm sure you'll defend it as "rare gems" or however you choose to describe useless shiny rocks, but I wouldn't wear that thing if it was free.
