I don't know! i don't know if it is true. None of my friends dress a Rolex.
Here you can find many well done fakes-Rolex (Myota inside).

Speaking more generally, we all know that we live in an age where appearance is considered more important than being.
So Rolex mean "wealth and power ".

I dress only vintage watches. I own a big collection of russina (sovietic) watche and some Bulova Accutron Nx and Mx, a Fortis (1956), a Lorenz and few others vintages.
But daily i dresst sovietic watches.

I own also an old "imperial russian watches" ( i think so) this one:

Russian words mean "For excellent targeting/shooting". Grammar is old - used before revolution. I guess this is prize for winning in sharpshooter competition.

Thanks, Vassili.
