I get the point but the need to use language that we all understood in order to make the question.
Sly, V-rocks and Woj could all enter a room and even though I would love to have a beer with them. I do not have a clue as to who they are. (Woj less as he never remembers who I am.) I work from home in a three person company. I live in three cities. I admit, sometimes I feel a need to step up my game.
But the point of the thread was that I had seen a billboard for Rolex. Seemed an odd way to advertise them. But I got to thinking that it is the ultimate waste of money and thus has the highest status. A Mont Blanc pen is close but that is so dumb that it has a backlash. Cars are harder as everyone has an opinion. Seems that a Rolex hits the sweet spot of being wasteful, expensive and not totally insane.
