The author of this book was publicly revealed as a complete fraud and never worked on Wall Street. His professional accomplishments capped out as a boring, mid-level management employee with one of Citigroup's less amorous locations.

In short - his advice on watches and who wears what is purely satire with zero weight or experience.

I can positively say as a retired full equity partner with one of the largest consulting firms in the world that many partners, and CEOs/CFOs or Fortune 1,000 organizations wear a Rolex. I consider a Rolex the "must have" watch for the person with an annual compensation that puts him/her in the "1% club". After and if a person acquires an appreciation for horology, that is when the other expensive watches come into play. Very few people, even if they can afford it, develop this bug.

In closing, I really enjoy the two Rolex watches that I own (my first two expensive watches) even though I appreciate the horological aspects and "vintage coolness" of the other fine watches I acquired later.

Kind regards,

Troy Duncan
