There are also persons like Ratan Tata who owns one of the largest industrial conglomerates in India lives a simple and humble life.

Folks discuss as this huge but it's like 10% of the women's jewelry. The groom's mom wore a diamond emreald necklace which is worth $60 million dollars. Now, watches does look cheap. The Indian media is talking only about this and they don't care watches as much! |

I have identified your problem based on one of your old posts. I've really been pining for two models.......a Patek 5960R or the Grand Lange 1 (137.033).

Too many detractors here. Seriously guys? We all know these watches are indeed created, they are rare and they are expensive. Who did you think was buying these? If they can’t buy and wear to a wedding, then when would you expect them to wear. Just admire the watches, drop the commentary and move on.

I don't understand. I said I pined for those models, which I don't have (probably never will), and even used, is still pretty damn expensive.
What people do with their money is their business, but if they are going to conspicuously, and publicly, consume, then are they not open to criticism? |

I think it’s worth highlighting the folks who wear these incredibly expensive and hard to come by pieces. Like there was a lot of attention given to the people who got those Tiffany blue 5711s. And I think it’s also fine to make snippy comments, whether they happen to be owned by robber barons or state leaders or musicians. Especially in this particular forum, I wouldn’t expect to see any postings linking these items to humanitarians. The closest you can get to that is maybe to John or Paul or Ringo.
