I feel the opposite, for some reason. Rolexes kind of looks disgusting to me, as I'll automatically jump to believing the person is superficial, cares too much about impression, and likes to waste money on such things.
While almost the same goes for Apple Watch wearers, at least I could justify them wearing it because it actually has some functionality people can find useful, compared to a arm-watch like a Rolex which basically just carries duplicate functionality today, and is mostly used as a status symbol.
I think someone being opinionated about their fashion sense is a much more powerful message than at most choosing which colour of plastic (and often we can't even do that!).
edit: and certainly, there are people who think the apple watch's sleekness is the height of aesthetic, but you'll never be able to tell that from glancing at them.

Agree, much more powerful message. I'm not sure we agree on if that message is net positive or negative though :)
Where I live only pimps (fake), retirees who got one 30 years ago from their employer upon retiring(real), nightclub promoters (fake), and criminal defense attorneys who will berate an underaged rape victim on the stand until they break down and cry for the sole purpose of being a sociopathic dick while trying to get their pedophile golf buddy off (real) and Rolex flippers (real) own Rolexes (real or fake).
edit: also franchisees whose franchise sells the most shit so the franchiser buys them one as a prize (real)
To me, seeing a Rolex on someone's wrist puts them in the same category of dickhole as a lifted pickup truck with punisher decals on the rear window and truck nutzzzz hanging off the tow hitch.

Nothing compared to a Rolex, for instance.
