If Rolex started putting their mechanicals into $100 Swatch watches, those watches wouldn't be as sought after as a Rolex. That's the whole point of the thread.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Ferrari, Maserati, Lamborghini, Porsche, Land Rover, Maybach, Rolls Royce, etc. Expensive and overhyped luxury status symbols. |

Capitalism. It's all about marketing and sales.
One must be careful not to become obsessed with any kind of objects. The corps will take all of one's money if one does. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: And their flagship cameras and lenses aren't desirable "solely" due to their high cost. They're desirable because they offer top performance. Whether an individual has the skills to make use of that extra capability, is a different question. Yeah, I am sure the majority are people who buy them just for the red ring, and take pictures on auto mode that look like cell phone snaps. Many iconic photos have stories behind them, because it took research and planning to make them happen. And every single iconic photo more than 5 years old, was taken with a camera most would call "totally obsolete" today. |

Yes, they get better as tech advances, but damn....to have something SO high end be "obsolete" in such a short time...it's madness. |

Rolex. A G-Shock is a better watch for a fraction of the price.

It's like the argument that people who buy any expensive car that can go way above the speed limit, does so only because they're expensive. Nah. If I could get a Koenigsegg for $10k or a flagship Canon or Sony for $100, I'd be ALL OVER that. People value/prize them because they have the ability to perform way above cheaper options. As mentioned, whether an individual has the ability to take advantage of those abilities, is a completely different question. I have no interest in a $1,000,000 Yugo, or a $10,000 disposable camera. Although I'm sure there would be some morons who would be interested, if they were touted as being rare/exclusive editions, along with being expensive. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I'll fight you over whiskey and knives...and SOME cars. I came here to post "Rolex". And I'm into watches, or was. They make a fantastic watch, but the asking price is way out of line with the watch and more reflective of the "image" they sell through their marketing. I'd love a Tudor BB58, which are substantially cheaper, but even those are also overpriced... There are also tons of great tool watches out there today that are just as good from a functional standpoint at a much lower price. Too each their own though. |
