My Casio keeps great time and it's probably still worth the $20.
I paid for it...
With a Rolex you pay for the name and not a precision time piece.
Plenty of great watches that do the job better and for less money...
Real 1 is leading you down a path to validate his argument. Brand names are important to him... It's bragging rights I guess...
"A brand name can have value in and of itself." I agree....
However, that's not to say that it is indeed the best product on the market. It's a given that the Casio will keep better time than a Rolex. If the object is to know the exact time then the choice is clear. If you're content to pay the big bucks for a machine that performs a task approximately as well as a less expensive one then have at it...
I worry a heck of a lot less about something happening to my $20.watch they I ever did about my Rolex.
I can equate that analogy to my car also....
