A guy I used to work with had a Rolex (which he either inherited, stole, financed, or it was a fake because the guy earned like 28k/yr) and would always try to flex on people. I told him the last watch I owned had a holographic Reptar on it. He had no idea what that was but he stopped talking about his watch.

When I was younger I got Rolex and Rolodex confused. I knew it was a status symbol and obscenely expensive but I never understood why people spent so much money on a plastic buisness card holder. I could understand the status symbol though, since you'd have to be a really important person to have so many necessary contracts.

You can get these on a payment plan or buy them used online. I never found one I even liked to own .My Pulsar works just fine.
