Sorry for the misunderstanding. I as well as vicv was referring to the spy tri-v which if I remember correctly released at 3500$. But now sells for 10,000$. Could be inflation or the cost of materials/labor.
I’ve found if they can afford an expensive watch and are truely wealthy they would mostly likely wear it. Both because they can afford to replace it as well as for the prestige among their friends and neighbors. The second being a priority since they can afford most things they want. Then again...
