> conversation pieces

I get that those $250K one of kind Bugatti/Ferrari watches that have the guts of an internal combustion engine or the functioning planetary solar system on display inside them are good for conversation pieces since they're unique, but What conversation can you make about a bog standard $5k-$10k Rolex?

  - Hey, nice watch.
  - Yeah thanks, it's a Rolex, it's shiny, golden and it tells the time.
  - So kind of like my Casio?

So most expensive watches are just Vablen goods.
