Lol, not angry at all, just having me some ATOT fun, you know? In these matters, tempest in a teapot, it all comes down to this.
I will admit that I was a bit startled that your taste, so "clean" in my eyes in other areas, so markedly diverged from mine in this instance.
Cliffs: You are DEAD to me forever or until the Sun explodes in one last cataclysmic hurrah, you fetid pool of egregious excess. DEAD, do you hear, DEAD!
I've never even seen a Rolex. Feh!
Dude, I'm wearing zero jewelry (I met a hand surgeon who said he'd never wear a ring, he'd surgically repaired so many hands that were badly injured by virtue of the victim wearing a ring). There is not a diamond in the house. In fact, all the gold in the house is shit I found on the street. Some day I think I'll duck into one of those places that buys gold and walk out with a small check.
Damn Jules. Now you have me looking at Rolex Submariner 18k gold. I found local store with couple preowned I might go look at.
I don't know anything about watches but that one caught my eye. It looks like new one is around $33k or so and used ones are in the $16-$20k range. That's pretty big saving and enough to buy my wife a watch as well.
That's crazy. How do they make any money? Credit card processing fee is probably like $0.45. That leaves like $1.60 for the watch, Alibaba fees, and shipping from China to the US.
Swatch is to watches like Luxottica is to eye wear, they own quite a lot of the major brands. Swatch also owns ETA, which is a major player in the movements made, the Vajoux 7750 etc is used in a huge number of watches. My Hamilton uses the H21 movement, but guess what, Swatch owns Hamilton.
