Agree, I enjoyed the article.

Just read this whole thread, and what a bunch of haters most of you are. If this was a watch in the shop window you could all buy, you would all be riding Ben d*** for his deeply passionate article.

And I wasn't aware that they were using B&S accessories. I'm also not a fan of the watches they are selling (business wise it would be stupid not to do but still). They create the hype and then offer the watch x weeks later. They are in complete control and are able to dictate the prices.



And it seems every piece sells within days of being released too... so many are eating it right up. Brilliant business strategy.

Gotta say, didn't love how self-satisfied they were about being some of the first to get the new pieces.

Too funny and too true! I love that you felt it necessary to get 2 digs in on our man purses. Ha ha. It's called a murse btw. 😝
