Sure, but that's not the only reason.
10 years ago when pretty much every Rolex were available at ADs, there were already people who despised the brand for no valid reasons (ie watch-related reasons). These very same people also claimed they prefer Omega or Breitling, who make products of lesser quality (not bad products, just not on par with Rolex).
Many people hate Rolex because of their own perception of the brand (blingy, overpriced, worn by the wrong people, whatever). For example when someone says Rolex are overpriced compared to Omega, they (willingly or not) ignore that Rolex has its own foundry and far better quality control than any of its competitors. They got tricked by Omega's marketing into thinking Rolex and Omega play in same category.

Do you pay for the brand's name? Sure. But you also pay for the best industrial-made watch on the market.
