Nor anything unique about a Rolex. Can’t see how a purchased watch qualifies for bragging. It takes no skill, no dedication, no smarts, no gumption to open one’s wallet to purchase a watch.

The person who built the watch might have something to brag about.

A Rolex is an actual thing with a function and an intrinsic value. It can be copied, but only at a significant cost.

John Cleese has done how many pieces of architectural art now?
