Owning a Jet or participating in a timeshare has a concrete benefit though. If you're sitting on that kind of cash one could assume you're an extremely successful businessperson, and being able to grab a car to the airport and be on the runway within an hour would definitely make it easier to get to all of your board meetings.
A high-end watch is just a piece of jewelry, doesn't tell time better than my smartphone or my $100 Skagen. Like the difference between a Swavorski and a Diamond, the only person that knows how much it costs is the person wearing it, unless you're in the habit of shoving your wrist in people's faces.
Anyone who "gets" stupidly expensive watches probably has enough money that the cost of one is a trivial sum, why spend less but have to send it back? It's just a hassle. The actual market I see for that are young, douchey morons who make $40k but want the clubrats they violate every weekend to think they make $400k.
