Imagine it's like your Rolex, the CEO says to the journalist who probably makes like 70k/year if they're lucky
But also Rolexes don’t have subscription fees
Are smart watches too gauche for Rolex?
Probably. They don't even do digital displays, do they?
Sounds just like a Rolex, really expensive and not worth the money.
Weren't old rolexes somewhat affordable and really durable? Like during the 40's weren't they cheap?
It depends but yeah, Rolex weren't a super luxury brand until they featured heavily in the Bond movies and when swiss watches were worn by pilots and got some prestige. That's also one of the cheaper ones to buy nowadays (2000~USD) since a ton of pilots would buy them so they are the 'mass-produced rolexes'
I'm sure the early watches were cheaper, but idk much about watches. I've used my phone as a watch for 20+ years at this point
