What isn't important to me however, are imperfections observed under extreme magnification that I will never see or appreciate.
So as to avoid further confusion, please allow me to illustrate my point over the next 3 posts.

Imagine a day a the beach with your supermodel girlfriend...

But is she the Lange, Dufour or Patek of supermodel girlfriends??

Definitely not Chopard
