This description no doubt applies to a good number of people who buy mainstream expensive watches with the principle purpose of flaunting their wealth. The trick is have sufficient intelligence to realise that not everyone has the same motivation - on either side of the argument.

Is the former your opinion? Because if it is, you could be the one walking around with a sign saying "Look at me everyone, I have so much money that I can afford a 58 plate M3 whose main value lies in the "M" emblem on the boot".
If you're going to open that can of worms, this can go for anything that can be considered "expensive". Do you consider $5K Breitling expensive? Perhaps not. But then again: perhaps some chav from Dover does.
