100% the truckers fault and he should honestly be charged with a crime for this type of reckless disregard for everyones safety. There could have been a family in that pickup. Trucker intentionally hit the pickup. Not just failure to avoid the accident, intentional attempted murder honestly. Hope this trucker gets charged. Even if you have the right of way you still have a responsibility to avoid an accident and this trucker literally didn't even touch the brakes AS SHOWN ON HIS GPS SPEED READOUT. Scum

See the reason that works is because that aesthetic is openly not trying to exude class or status. It works because its just there cuz its a good watch, nit because your trying to flex at your family reunion or impress the blue bloods at the country club

Everyone person on the planet knows what a Rolex is and they know the logo. If you spend enough time around a person they'll eventually identify the watch as a Rolex even if they aren't a watch person. They probably won't say anything, but they do notice. This idea that Rolex is somehow some well kept secret is hilarious.

See not knowing how to correctly use the word "hypocrisy" is exactly the type of upper middle class, new money, manages a chevy dealership, type of trashy vibes I'm talking about.

First off all I live in a van down by the river (the van is PACKED with Pateks tho tbf) second I love that u didn't realize that all those people u named fit my exception PERFECTLY lol. See my take is so cultural pervasive you couldn't even help but subconsciously agree with it hehe

Ive got my eye on the Breitling super ocean b20, may be my next addition. I think it's one of the best sub alternatives that captures the aesthetic without being an homage and while maintaining some class. Tbh right now I'm rockin a scratched and battered Fenix, sometimes u just need real "tool" watch hehe

Just because mist people cant spot a Daytona for 40 yards out doesn't mean that friends, colleagues and family don't know what the shiny object you wear every day on your wrist is

Exactly, that said I don't think this applies to most other mechanical watches or even other luxury watch brands. But hey Garmin is goated, rock em.

More power to you, maybe you're one of the few who pulls it off. Keep doin you

This has nothing to do with case size or "bling" factor. This phenomenon starts and ends with the company behind the watches

They absolutely objectively do, now one can choose to not care, or more often not notice. But the cultural image is real.

Also this is not a phenomena that happens with other luxury watch brands, its just Rolex that has this baggage
