Apple will no longer fix the $17,000 gold Apple Watch::The original Apple Watch models, including the $10,000-plus 18-karat gold Edition that Beyoncé wore, are now officially obsolete and won’t get parts, repair, or replacement services.

Listen, anyone who had one could probably afford a brand new gold watch instead of repairing it anyway and doesn't care about anything except as a status symbol.

On the other hand gold watches are the kind of thing that are proudly passed around as family heirlooms, only the trashiest new money would buy one every two years and throw the old one away.

Ok, that just brought me right back around to your point. Nevermind.
