Actually, most of the forummers are here because of our love for the horology world. It doesn't matter how much the timepieces cost actually. Some of us liked G-Shock, some Seiko (just look at how many Seiko divers shots were put up, and how we go ooh-ahh over the lume shots), and of course, Rolex- being one of the more commercialised yet highly-competent brands.
We don't just talk about Rollies or Pams or IWCs or PPs, etc- we also talk about Seikos, Citizens, G-Shocks and the likes. As you move up the corporate world, you play with bigger toys, that's all. But the kid in us simply love watches, that's all. I spent RM10 on a new Goodberz kid's watch with red light beam; and I have as much fun as my kid playing "sniper" with his watch.
So I think the observation that "a lot of silent forumer or reader where they only post after they pool enough funds to buy a Rolex etc" reflects more on your mentality rather than the general crowd over here, mate. We see what we want to see. Don't generalise and put a price tag on our love for horological pieces please.
