Rolex still not doing it for me . . .

I guess I simply like wearing watches that catch my eye and that make me want me to check the time (even when there's no pressing need to do so). The rarer or less likely seen on other wrists, the better. That's why I like my Heuers, Breitlings (none of the blingy stuff), Omega Railmaster and occassional gold Hamiltons. The Rolex's are just too ubiquitous for me. Yeah, i know, all kinds of variations of the Submariner for collectors of those but none of them do it for me to the point I want to buy one. I buy a watch based on how much I enjoy looking at it, quite frankly, not its ultimate status or whether someone will comment on it. Does that make me sound like a jerk?
