Every kid I teach notices when I wear a Rolex and they all tell me that they want one. Of course, they don't know anything besides the name "Rolex", but that didn't happen even five years ago.

Super clickbaity article. Content has nothing to do with the title…. Bloomberg probably has a target on Reddit since the whole wallstreetbets thing.

I'm looking forward to the dial with a syringe motif.

I stopped reading after I saw that. Who calls it that?

As mentioned, nothing more than clickbait.

It is obviously clickbaity, but I thought it was kind of humorous - especially the part about the 'weed' dial. That might refer to what the Rolex designers were smoking when they came up with that ;)

There is a high end Marijuana dispensary in Vail that has a few of the weed Rolexes in stock..
You know, for the high rollers..

Why couldn't a high end pot dispensary in Vail have been around when I needed one? :grin:
