A $100 bill doesn't have 100x the material/production value of a $1 bill. Yet, nevertheless, it has 100x the value. While that difference in value may be set by the government, the difference in watch prices/values are set by the supply and demand of the market. Not quite as solid as government, but it's a pretty solid and established marketplace.

Perfect analogy Cory! I purchased my first RO 5 months ago (a white Jumbo), and now I am hooked.

Most watch like Hublot, Richard Mille, AP, Patek, are all like that. We are being trapped and fooled by the "swiss made" brand. and the buyer love of being fooled, they satisfied and say high quality bla bla bla. While the labor cost and production cost in switzerland is expensive.



If you have extra money you can buy the watch, if you have low income, stick to the brand that you can afford.

Yeah, we are paying a lot of $$$$ for the brand, but have to say the Swiss are very successful at it though.
