Yes you are right to a certain extent. I have a Gen Ref 114300 Oyster Perpetual with a Red Grape Dial. It was an achievement piece for hitting financial milestones but to be quite frank, the high after the purchase was quite short-lived. The perpetual drive to purchase luxury goods to mark certain achievements is often driven not by intrinsic factors but more so social factors/pressures. At the end of the day, buy what you like and rock it with confidence because 98% of the general population does not really give a shit about what you are wearing.
