Just like Abby Rosen, Stevie Cohen and the gang constantly bid up prices of some contemporary "artists" like Koons and Basquiat. The cohort own a majority of works and it's in their self interest to keep prices up to place an even higher value on their collections. If people opened their eyes and saw what rubbish Basquiats really are, these gents would each take write downs in excess of $100 -$200m. And don't get me started on Koons. |

I've tried it on today. It feels great, very light and not too bulky on my small wrist.
Only Harrods sell the Tourbillon model in the UK and it's all sold out this year. |

And there are new watches with repeater for around $15k as I recall. Sure not to 'Patek quality' yet they work. The good thing is that such complications that in the past came at perceived high prices are now coming down in cost quite a bit.

Well this had simmered down in May only to arise again...
Just because you can doesn't mean you should. But TAG sure knows how to tweak PP's nose.

I think this Chinese Sea-gull Tourbillon looks better than the TAG and it's a third of the price.

Did anyone read the watch article in the weekend Wall Street Journal?
I certainly sounded like they had been reading this thread! |

When you can have this for under 15k, why even bother wasting oxygen talking about a TAG..

this thread reaks of brand recognition. (and old thread revival lol)
not knocking patek. but i do wonder what results a "blind tasting" would yield. let's not forget Grand Seiko handing all the swiss watch makers their ass on a plate |

Haha, definitely quite a revival of threads... but even 4 years ago you would think many would realize by then that the functionality of the luxury watch or complexity of the watch has nothing to do with its value or desirability.
Without stating the obvious factors of brand and marketing, the continual existences of these pieces is merely to be an expensive accessory an adult gets or how many likes on instagram lol. Maybe if we returned to the stone ages the functionality of these pieces will come back. |

I ended up with a Blancpain fifty fathoms bathyscaphe flyback chronograph, it's the all black ceramic model with an olive sailcloth. Looks another level compared to the Sub, f385 movement is amazing, beautifully hand finished too. I can't add pics as usual on my phone, files are too large |

Wise choice. The Blancpain is a far superior timepiece |
