Businessman Worth Rs 500 Crore Explains Wearing Rs 10,000 Replica Rolex Watch
A businessman with a net worth of around Rs 500 crore revealed he wears a Rs 10,000 replica Rolex Daytona instead of the genuine Rs 25 lakh watch. He explained that his social status ensures people assume the watch is authentic, and since it functions and attracts compliments, he sees no need to spend more. The story, shared by Delhi entrepreneur Rohan Dhawan, sparked debate on luxury's meaning, questioning whether it lies in craftsmanship, status, or perception.
