jdfaker Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 Just because you throw a rolex on the mannequin doesnt make the clothes any less crappy. I buy RL stuff... when its 75% off on clearance. lollerskates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLudlowe Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 ...are you sure they are fakes or just empty cases without movements in them? I'm sure they're manufactured by Rolex, or at least by their display/promotions department. But they're not real watches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b16a2 Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 I disagree completely. Ralph Lauren built his clothing business (more of an empire) on a lifestyle -- The Ralph Lauren Lifestyle, which epitomizes traditional luxury. And Lauren has always been associated with Rolex, Mercedes & similarly traditional luxury brands. Fitting a Swatch or Seiko, although both are quality brands, to 1 of his mannequin's wrists would not promote the image that RL is trying to infer. I concur, this is all relevant. To the normal person, associating Rolex with Ralph Lauren is all part of differentiating said clothes from brand x. If someone see's Ralh Lauren clothes as being associtaed with a brand like Rolex, then that would create a much different perception than if it were a Rotary on the wrist.

jdfaker Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 How many people who aren't watch nuts would notice what kind of watch the mannequin was wearing? I promise its not many. Before I got into reps I NEVER bothered to see what people had on their wrists. I didn't care. Most people in the world don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
