Your house isn't for sale today, is the equity you have in your house a myth? Of course not. You could say that the equity in your Rolex can't be accessed if you don't sell it, but it's not a myth.
In fact - while a Rolex is not a very good investment, it is a far better choice than a car or a diamond if that helps anybody sleep better. If a couple was financially astute, they'd buy the wife a cheaper engagement ring and the husband a better gold watch... that sure sounds like an easy sell!

You can access your home equity thru a HELOC or reverse mortgage, what sort of financial instruments allow you to access equity on your rolex? Vinny the loan shark might take it on as collateral?

Cars and diamonds are about the worst "investments" there are, it's not hard to beat them lol.

Devil's advocate for Dark as well, the Rolex also might buttress to his role as a sales guy.
Sales are all about optics, the illusion of success, it's the same reason your average real estate agent drives around in a Beamer/Benz, tailored suit with a nice watch.
That purchase is essentially him "investing" into his career, projecting success to his clients.
It's all very stupid, but the way the world works.

This thread reminded me of something from many years ago. There was a guy who worked in advertising and he decided to quit and be a bus driver. He started a blog and wrote about his training and his adventures (this was like 10 years ago when blogs were still a thing).
It was really entertaining. I tried finding it again but looks like it's gone, however he did instead publish a book. I bet it's pretty good tbh. https://www.blurb.ca/b/3797129-adver...vs-bus-driving
(Spoiler:
Here's one except I found on his FB page. Quote:
The Ghost Bus
The 20.
The bus all the other drivers warned me about. Don’t sign it, don’t trade for it, don’t even look at it. Well, guess what I got on a Saturday night at 2:30 in the morning? Yup, and it’s the super deluxe version, avec fromage. The N20. The late night version of most notorious route going.
It did not disappoint.
I diffused a race war, solved a crime, got boarded by the Transit Police and I had a very strange encounter with a 90 something woman I picked up outside of a McDonald’s on Commercial Ave. This is mostly her story.
I had two more runs to go before I could call it an evening. Or was it a morning? When you start to mistake early morning joggers for people running for your bus the line gets very blurred.
My first run would take me on a route down Commercial than east bound on Hastings till I hit the downtown corridor. The second would take me in the opposite direction back towards Commercial. I picked up an old woman outside of the McDonald’s, she seemed to be aproximately the age of at least two of the surviving Golden Girls put together. She boarded my bus with a large fry in her hand and a comically slow shuffle that would remind my parents of a young Tim Conway.
Grandma Shuffles,“ Excuse me driver do you mind waiting for my friend, he’s still in there.” I checked the McDonald’s and my time and decided I probably could. “Not a problem mam, we’re ahead of schedule, we can afford to wait for a bit.” Shuffles seemed happy with my response and at roughly the speed of tectonic plates shifting she took her seat.
After about 3 minutes had passed and no one had joined her I started to wonder. “Mam?” I tried to get her attention but couldn’t seem to. “Mam?” Nothing. Loudspeaker, “Mam, has your friend joined you on the bus yet?”
“Oh yes. Thank-you.” The seat beside her was empty.
“Okay, we’re going to take off now.”
“Thank-you dear.”
After that I kind of lost track of her. The bus filled up quickly and before I knew it, it was standing room only. Half filled with the recreational drug users on Commercial and the other half with the hard core downtown crowd.
The route hit every seedy bar on Canada’s most notorious street, the boulevard of broken dreams and intact meth pipes, Hastings Street. And because of that the bus often gets boarded by the transit police looking to keep the peace and protect the driver.
Yeah right. All the transit cops managed to do was infuriate all the passengers on board by charging them full fare then leave me with a bus full of angry drunks. Before I knew it I was 15 minutes behind schedule and heading back towards Commercial with an over capacity, overly intoxicated bus.
After dropping most of my crowd off at the Skytrain Station without too many incidents I was surprised to see that Shuffles was still on board. In fact I ended up dropping her off directly across the street from where I picked her up. I think she took the 90 minute loop downtown just so she could cross the street. I apologized for the craziness and asked her if she was okay, her only comment was, “Too much excitement for us.”
She still had her large fry and she was still alone. I lowered the bus and she shuffled off into the early morning light.

Why everyone harping on Darky about his watch, dudes are BORN to waste money on shit we don't need constantly... I'm happy for him, took a huge risk out of his comfort zone at some sign place, doubled his income even if it was only temporary... he needed to wild out with all his family responsibilities that's cool.
Now he can blind other drivers with all that blang doing a gangsta lean out the window in the summers. Or some hobo in downtown will grease it right off his arm. Either way!

You will gasp if you go to HK and see average joes from all walks of life with a rolex. Not sure how authentic it is though lol. Plus if I remember the photo he got a regular date just, not a GMT/daytona or a precious metal president.
