LMAO!
@donerix: i think most of us if not all, are on this forum and buying reps because we simply can't afford to own the same collection we have in gens
if i had an extra couple of thousnad, i would buy a gen, because i love watches!
but pricing a watch at +$10k? thats just stupid
sure that manufacturers bear alot of costs: adverstising, higher costs of manufacturing, costs of outlets and franchising...etc
but if u break it down, the cost per unit would be a fraction of the market price being sold at
u mentioned Porsches, the cost of a carrera including what i mentioned above would never go over $30k,
so yes: I DO COMPLAIN!
but what is my complaint and a million others gona do?
these "brand names" have their own markets, and their own customers
we're just a different segment
