As someone who is a big watch collector I can tell you no collector buys a watch to "tell time." I'll get an automatic Sieko to do that for $200.00
BTW, good luck trying to buy a Rolex today for ONLY $10,000.00. Hottest Rolex market in History. 2-5 year waitlist.
Here's my next Rolex: https://www.rolex.com/watches/cellini/m50505-0020.html It's $15,200.00 form an AD (authorized dealer) they are not allowed to discount, only full MSRP.
I only buy high-end luxury watches in the pre-owned market. I hope to get the watch above for much less. Some are still in boxes, unopened. Given as gifts or a retirement watch.
High-end watches are similar to buying Art. If you buy correctly you can wear a watch for 5+ years and sell it for the same price or higher.
People buy luxury watches for status, snobbery, it's about the only thing a guy can have in form of jewelry and because you like perfection. My iPhone has better time than any watch ever made.
I think cars for many are the same way with some people. Even my wife judges people by the car they drive.
Last year I was looking to get a Camaro ZL1 1LE ($75,000.00), the wife said: "People will think we lost all our money." I replied WTF does that mean?
Camaros are for Rednecks, quit acting like a teenager.

Rolex in the high end watch world is like a Camaro.

I really don’t think you know anything about the people you have mentioned. I too know and hang with very wealthy people and they have multiple MTI sports boats costing in excess of $1M each, live in multi million dollar homes and drive what they wish.....and they are not Corvettes. For the record I have driven by Jimmy Buffets house and he does live in a very conservative house. Does Bill Gates live in the same manner? No! What’s conservative to the wealthy is beyond your level of comprehension. Stay in your corner and stop the poor posturing ... I also should add that some of the ultra rich Walmart family live in Columbia, MO , 75 miles from me and frequent the same lake where I have my second home and they must have not got the memo from Alice. LOL.

The only car I have ever owned that left an oil stain in the garage were the (2) 911s I had. You keep your used 911 in the garage long enough and you'll have a big one too my friend. I was in and out of a 930 and a 911 back when you were slingin hash at Bobs Big Boy. "Brioke Bastard Punky", you are a real Prince.
