#1) I'm with Skip. Its mostly advertising. The clasp on my Orient is 100x better than the clasp on the Rolex (off course all other aspects aren't equal); but when Rolex spends 40 million a year on advertising, the money comes from somewhere (consumer!). On a list of the top 10 advertisers, Rolex, as #1, spends more than 2 through 9 combined (I read this somewhere a year or so ago).

#2) Most depreciate, especially if you wear it. Some will hold value, but what's the fun in buying if you're not wearing :)

ps - I know the Orient, and I'm not telling :)
