    The ultimate status symbol?

    I think it is the Rolex. You might like other watches better etc. But if a guy can blow 20k on a stupid watch that doesn't keep time, he has arrived.

    PS yep, I have one so I am biased.

    That's a status quo I wouldn't be proud of. You spent $20k on a watch you can buy for $1500-$3000, that really costs $500 to make.

          The ultimate status symbol is not giving a fuck about status symbols.

          If you need to show the world that you're a big deal, you probably aren't.

                Yeh, I tend to agree. Buy a nice watch because you want a nice watch... not because you want other people to think "wow, he is awesome!" I don't need "friends" that come attached to fancy "stuff".

                            for the record i dont carry a watch, if you need to know what time it is you are not living free enough. leave the cell at home too. i value my freedom way too much to be bound by these items.

                            i let the sun tell me when its time to get up and time to go to bed, and ya dont need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows either! ;)

                                  There are no status symbols unless your mind needs some for whatever reason.

                                        The ultimate status symbol is being able to walk into a room and have people want to talk to you. The more people the better. The more you have to pick and choose and the time gets divided the more you are a status symbol in your own right.

                                                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.

                                                  to me spending that much on a watch is idiotic no matter how much $ you have. Plus, who really cares what other think about you. I don't give a shit about "status symbol". I'd rather live my life the way I want and not in a way to impress people that won't give a fuck about you when the $ is gone.

                                                      The ultimate status symbol is to walk into any room with your woman and have people swarming all over her, but have enough money to keep her.

                                                          This is true. A hot babe trumps everything.

                                                                                              i let the sun tell me when its time to get up and time to go to bed, and ya dont need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows either! ;)

                                                                                                    Good blowjobs several times every day .. whenever you want .. and regular two girl blowjobs
