The ultimate status symbol? - GoFuckYourself.com

slapass · 07-19-2009, 09:42 AM

I think it is the Rolex. You might like other watches better etc. But if a guy can blow 20k on a stupid watch that doesn't keep time, he has arrived.

PS yep, I have one so I am biased.

TheDoc · 07-19-2009, 09:45 AM

That's a status quo I wouldn't be proud of. You spent $20k on a watch you can buy for $1500-$3000, that really costs $500 to make.

fatfoo · 07-19-2009, 09:49 AM

Rolex is a good watch, indeed...

The ultimate status symbol is not giving a fuck about status symbols.

If you need to show the world that you're a big deal, you probably aren't.

Yeh, I tend to agree. Buy a nice watch because you want a nice watch... not because you want other people to think "wow, he is awesome!" I don't need "friends" that come attached to fancy "stuff".

Fletch XXX · 07-19-2009, 10:48 AM

for the record i dont carry a watch, if you need to know what time it is you are not living free enough. leave the cell at home too. i value my freedom way too much to be bound by these items.

i let the sun tell me when its time to get up and time to go to bed, and ya dont need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows either! ;)

There are no status symbols unless your mind needs some for whatever reason.

V_RocKs · 07-19-2009, 03:28 PM

The ultimate status symbol is being able to walk into a room and have people want to talk to you. The more people the better. The more you have to pick and choose and the time gets divided the more you are a status symbol in your own right.

I get the point but the need to use language that we all understood in order to make the question.

Sly, V-rocks and Woj could all enter a room and even though I would love to have a beer with them. I do not have a clue as to who they are. (Woj less as he never remembers who I am.) I work from home in a three person company. I live in three cities. I admit, sometimes I feel a need to step up my game.

But the point of the thread was that I had seen a billboard for Rolex. Seemed an odd way to advertise them. But I got to thinking that it is the ultimate waste of money and thus has the highest status. A Mont Blanc pen is close but that is so dumb that it has a backlash. Cars are harder as everyone has an opinion. Seems that a Rolex hits the sweet spot of being wasteful, expensive and not totally insane.

Yngwie · 07-19-2009, 05:19 PM

to me spending that much on a watch is idiotic no matter how much $ you have. Plus, who really cares what other think about you. I don't give a shit about "status symbol". I'd rather live my life the way I want and not in a way to impress people that won't give a fuck about you when the $ is gone.

Ecchi22 · 07-19-2009, 05:30 PM

You could feed a city in Africa with those money,

much better symbol I think..

Robbie · 07-19-2009, 05:33 PM

The ultimate status symbol is to walk into any room with your woman and have people swarming all over her, but have enough money to keep her.

Boobzooka · 07-19-2009, 05:33 PM

When you can charge to have people come look at your rotting corpse you have arrived. But since you've just departed you won't know it LOL

xenigo · 07-19-2009, 08:52 PM

Slappin Fish · 07-19-2009, 09:15 PM

A Rolex is a minor league status symbol, it screams "I am a successful salesman..."

The Ultimate status symbol is, and has been for a while... a Yacht.

Doesn't have to be as big as this one, but from Monaco to Marbella, Puff Daddy to the Russian Oligarch the biggest possible boat is what they want to be seen on.

LiveDose · 07-19-2009, 09:30 PM

Having no debt and being able to buy what you want.

I know what you saying, having no debt and buying what you want is a good lifestyle, but it isn't a symbol.

I think the ultimate is a big penis, because that is what all of these expensive items are replacing. I already own my status symbol.

DaddyHalbucks · 07-21-2009, 04:27 AM

I like what Libertine said.

I would add that owning your own company is a pretty nice thing too. Even if it is not making a fortune, you are still your own boss. That's status right there.

I agree they aren't a great value, but the margins are not as high as you cite.

At $1000 an ounce, some of the Rolexes contain thousands of dollars of gold alone.

Right on. Having a tan where your watch should be is the real status symbol.

This is MS co-founder Paul Allen's yacht -- Octopus. The world largest yacht. It docked in St. Maarten next to the ship I was working on in 2004, and it is sick!

MrMaxwell · 07-30-2009, 08:12 PM

I think the only status symbols I really consider important are:
Good blowjobs several times every day .. whenever you want .. and regular two girl blowjobs
That and the best food money can buy

Those are the only two important ones
