Wasn’t disagreeing on the fact that much better watches in terms of their mere metal and workmanship may be available at those prices, and wouldn’t spend the money on a Daytona either. In fact, I didn’t buy it even when it was offered to me at list. But then again I don’t think we should second guess the motives of the people who feel this thing is worth 50k to them or however much they are willing to pay. They were mature enough to get that money they’re mature enough to spend it. If they see a reason to make that expenditure, there’s probably something in the watches’ soft factors like image, braggability, aesthetics, whatever, that’s worth it to them. No need for anyone to be resentful about that.
