Annnnd at this level I'm out.
I mean, cool engineering solving a particular problem, near impossible tolerances, astounding art/materials all appeal on some level - but "exclusivity" on it's own doesn't mean anything.
- dismalaf 2y ago> "exclusivity" on it's own doesn't mean anything. For most people, no. But for some people, who can buy anything, whose friends can buy anything, it means a lot to have something others can't buy. I'm with you though. I'm happy wearing a Seiko or other well-built but not expensive watch.
- _carbyau_ 2y agoYeah. I have a Seiko I found as a kid, got serviced and then it has sat in a drawer for 30 years. Probably junk now. I use my phone these days. But if I wanted a watch I'd probably go for a Casio G-Shock solar - may or may not go for a variant with fancy GPS timing or scuba-proof. Features that take care of problems I might have.
