The watches mentioned carry status for a certain sub-group of the population.

The utility stems not from the functionality of watch itself but from what it signals to other people.

It’s a simple status games. PG, like every other human being, also plays status game. But not with watches.

He plays with a different group of people. With different rules for status gain/loss.

Maybe it's: who has the better blog, or the better investments. I don’t know because I don’t live in his world.
