Overpay for a celebration dial is a personal one, some people may find the uniqueness and exclusive of a celebration dial worth the extra cost, while others may prefer to invest that money in other aspects of their collection, it really depend on how much you value the dial.

For some, $10k is like 0.00001 second of the economy. For Gates or Musk, that's maybe just a few seconds of their life.

Acutally it is not new, but in contrary it was invented to divide the blogs, forums and so on mediums from the new ones. This was important, as all the rest forms are related to some kind of a TOPIC but not to the PERSONS. So, for example here we are talking about watches, mainly from Rolex. Sometimes people posts pictures of their watches, sometimes about their dinner, but none of us lives our life here, we are not here to gather friends, "likes" and success in the followers numbers - in contrary to the social networking, which acts exactly as we have seen in the MATRIX.

So no, it is NOT a semantical difference, but a huge one, here you can feel yourself good, can gather information, or sometimes help in a specific case, but this forum is not intended to replace your real life.

Live well: ban the social media.

I agree. I always tell people I’m not on social media, and by that I mean FB, Instagram, TikTok, etc. With the exception of LinkedIn, I’m not on any of those.

I always considered highly focused, anonymous forums like TRF as being different. I suppose some folks put everything under the same umbrella, and that’s fine, but even if you do, they are still very different animals.

I actually remember when Facebook came out. Some people on hockey and car forums kept referring to it as social media as if it was completely different, and it was.

Likewise would not pay 10p for one if I wanted a watch with a dial like that would be looking at the plastic Swatch range.

Paying $10k over for any watch is a great way in ensuring the seller's "celebration" and your depression once you've realized what's been done.

I put it in a category of seasonal fashion jewelry that will not age well. And its purpose isn’t to age well either. So if you get it, get it asap.

I have been wearing mine the last few days and my mom liked it enough to look it up, she then said, “I’ll never have a nice watch.” after seeing the price. Sad!

I thought about it for about 5 minutes but I didn’t want her calling to complain that she took it off and the battery ran out.

Gift her your watch if she really likes it.

No. Colored circles on a dial do nothing for me. Don’t see where all the hype on this watch comes from.

I wouldn't wear it if it was given to me for free, personally I think that dial is a joke. I thought it was a photoshop when I first saw that... thing.
