This is true. Most people don't know much about watches nor do they care.

I often get complemented on my Seiko 5 dive watch and they ask if it's a Rolex... I guess in some ways it looks like a Submariner and to them they can't tell the difference. It just looks like an expensive watch and they automatically associate that with a popular brand name like Rolex.
