You live in a house that obviously costs a few million dollars so you know you can afford a watch that is at most $100k. That's assuming he went for the most expensive one which is unlikely as he's not the diamonds type.
I'm guessing he just isn't the Rolex type, On the other hand he has a sneaker collection that's probably worth a few hundred grand. Saying he doesn't know if he can afford a Rolex probably helps with his image as a man of the people.

You're right Jay --- but I think he is talking about when he first sold a million albums --- when he transitioned from a nobody to a somebody ....
I have heard something similar about Bill Gates. He wanted this Porsche that cost $250,000 in the early 80s. He did not buy it till he had 500 million bucks in his bank .... that was his condition.... boy, talk about patience...
