Maybe it's just me and my social circle, but showing off richness is considered tasteless. Of course, you'd have good clothes and other things, but they don't need to be of a famous brand or the most expensive ones. Of course, there are people like those that you've described. They are everywhere. It's just I feel like in western culture, the US and Europe, it is less.

Even there, you still see it, you just have to look carefully. Nobody buys $5k watches and suits because they're more durable.

Oh man, wait until someone chimes in saying they buy Rolexes because they have absolutely superior timekeeping. Which sure, they do, but that's definitely not a reason why people buy them.

I'll be honest and say that I don't know if Rolexes are mechanical. If they are, a quartz $20 Casio is more precise :-)
