Time is money man, you know what I'm sayin.....

Luxury items have a culture and have a crowd that appreciate them for their sophistication (ie craftsmanship, history, whatever). But for the most part, these items are typically appreciated by wealthy people to the point that wealth is identified with luxury goods (not mention these goods are typically too expensive). So when people typically come up with sudden wealth, they typically try to identify themselves as wealthy by flaunting luxury goods. It's an unfortunate outcome that not only effects watches, but also jewelry, automobiles, homes, alcohol, etc...
Conversely, I know a few wealthy individuals who gradually became wealthy through hard work and their Walmart wardrobe and Toyota Camry (no offense intended) doesn't do anything to expose it. But I'm guessing they don't feel the need to identify their wealth because they gradually came upon it to the point that some of them don't even feel wealthy.
But especially in sports and show biz, there's a need to flaunt wealth because of the image oriented and superficial nature of the business.
In other words, it's a self perpetuating cycle that will never end.
So for us enthusiasts, we just have to accept it and not let the flaunters ruin it for us.

Obviously, I'm really not selling anything; Airking pretty much hit the nail on the head though. I bought my gens because I like the history, r&d, etc of rolex. The celebrities ruin things little by little. BMW 750il is great example of a nice luxury vehicle that celebrities ruined. I can go on and on, but airking's correct that it's something we just have to accept as reality.
Unfortunately the Luxury market would suffer if you did not have this outlandish spending. You would be surprised by the number of companies catering to Rappers for advertising of their High End products. And where are the Authentic Box and Papers?
Toyota Camry is one of the choiced everyday vehicles of the low profile millionaires next door

You're doing it wrong, you need MoneyG-Bling the Jeweler to bring the watches to you.
If I did that for my friends, we would go to the AD together. I wouldn't have that douchebag show up with his murse and shitty velvet bags.
There was this guy Jacob the jeweler. He's is or was the owner of Jacob and co watches. He used to sell these dummies jewelry with half real and half fake diamonds and they used to kiss his ass. They even put his half fake stuff in their videos even mentioned his name. He go in big trouble got tax evasion and all this stuff came out. A childhood friend of mine wife was one of his accountants.
Jacob still has a boutique in midtown close to my job, I don't understand how.

.....money and class do not necessarily come hand in hand... the tatooed one will never rise above is ignorance, and will probably end up shot or broke by the age of forty...
