Re: Unpaid walking advert for someone else's company
Nobody buys a Rolex because they need a watch, they're paying Rolex to create a fantasy for them in which they imagine they participate.
At least Rolex watches are suitably gaudy, old-school Auric Goldfinger stuff (well, until a London ratboy on a moped snatches it from the wrist).
Pity instead the pathetic twerps paying a small fortune for any of the gauche "aviator" or "deep sea diver" twatches, and imagining that having an ugly watch the size of a saucer, with a bazillion dials and a price tag above that of a competent car makes them Top Gun or Jacques Cousteau. I suppose these same people are keeping BMW's Rolls Royce brand alive, and likewise Volkswagen's Bentley sticker. Sad to see RR Motors and Bentley ending up as the modern equivalent of Ghia. How long till we see "Bentley" as a trim level on the VW Golf Mk23?
