I assume lots of it comes down to storytelling and marketing, to be honest. "No-one makes steel good enough for us!" (there most likely is, and cheaper, and likely better) I hope I don't sound dismissive, nor do I not want to hold anyone from a nice hobby, but also, the timepiece hobby wouldn't really be what it is _without_ the storytelling.

Dismiss away! In case you can't tell from my post I'm not a Rolex guy and I wouldn't be, even if I had the money, which I certainly do not. But, it's always fascinating to me to see how they do things. As an engineer, I really appreciate that level of engineering excellence. In a world where nearly everything is so ruthlessly cost-cut, it's kind of nice just to see excess on the technical side. Maybe that's why I love reading about it. I'm a software engineer, and I literally do not have enough hours in a day to do my job. All I do is cut corners and I seldom love the result.
