True. I wonder what the leading douchebag detector watch was before the AW Edition?
Well, I have a Rolex very similar to the one pictured that I have not worn since I got my 38mm SS Apple Watch 
.
.
My favorite Rolex is the 39mm Explorer. Simple but still has the iconic utility look of a Rolex. For even more simple, a Date Just with oyster band, but those are a little too bland for me
Honestly, the douchebag label has more to do with the person than the watch. For example, a crotch-holding, low-class individual who likely only cares about being seen with a $17,000 Edition and even bothered to match his outfit with it definitely looks like a douchebag whereas a down-to-earth, normally dressed woman with the same watch won't come across as one.
I think that when Anna Kendrick posted the "douchebag" tweet, and the tech media picked it up, the label attached itself to the watch.
At the very least the Rolex won't depreciate. Rolex Daytona all day over an Edition. Even if selling isn't an option.
That is not a really good example of a nice Rolex watch but if I had to choose its this Rolex above a Apple Watch in a heartbeat.
This Rolex with white gold, normal gold and diamonds will be Quadruple in value over the next ten years.

My daily worn Rolex is still loved by me! Still looks like new after the dealer does his yearly polishing. Many of my friends still wear Rolex. A single link for the band cost more than the Apple SS watch
Mine has gained in value from the day I purchased it new.

I agree, people still wear Rolex's. Here's mine but she hasn't seen the light of day since the Apple Watch came

Nice! Looks Great.
Ah, I'm hating you more! Perfect nails, travertine tiles and that Rolex! I have the plebeian Citizens version of that watch...for people who have ceramic tiles and Sally Hansen press on nails! Lol! Good to see you again, by the way.

I do love my Citizens watch as well as a few others in my collection, but it also hasn't seen the light of day since I got the Apple Watch.
Back to the original topic, that Rolex pictured in the original post is really Liberace/1980's levels of gaudy. As a woman I'd wear it because it goes with some of my 1980's era jewelry, but it does look dated to me.
That's not bad looking either. Maybe I'm just not digging the two toned look of the one in the OP. Though two toned watches were my favorites in the 1980's and I have two of them with blue faces. Not Rolex though. By the time I could afford a Rolex, I became a parent and the money goes to trips and classes and adventures instead.My daily worn Rolex is still loved by me!

the rolex example is a piss poor model to use, i have a rolex date just, its simple white gold and a sunburst dial and black face with a stainless steel band. its timeless and i always get compliments on it. if you choose a decent rolex its something that will never "age" the apple watch will because a new one will come out every year or so. so i choose the rolex as i wouldnt buy one every year and i will still look current.
i wear my space gray apple watch alot more than my rolex now but once the novelty wears off or i am dressed for a certain occasion my rolex will be on my wrist.

We've had some really heavy rains and flooding so I've taken a break and have been spending time hanging out with my ten year old. I can see the weeds taking over though. It won't be pleasant when I get back to it. I hope all is well with you!
