Are you suggesting that you never do business with people who wear Rolex?
I don't know how that makes sense. I would never pay 5k for a watch but I do wear shoes which costs 1300$. That doesn't make me a bad person, just that I like to spend money on shoes. I can completely understand that someone may want to spend 5k on Apple Watch.
- radley 12y agoWould you pay $5k-20k for a gold-plated version of those shoes? Regarding Rolex (which I also feel are also overpriced antiques) they at least have a lasting value. They're often heirlooms passed down to children, partners, etc. A 100 year old watch is awesome. A 200 year old Rolex will be amazing, but possible. But I just can't imagine Apple supporting a first-gen iWatch 50-200 years after release.
- MrPepperman 12y agoJust a small correction: It will be solid gold, not plated. Your point still remains in tact.
- radley 12y agoHeh - I was assuming it would be hard to walk in solid gold shoes ;-)
- bornabox 12y agoThe whole heirloom argument doesn't ring right. I mean, sure, this happens and is part of the market. But I'd wager it's a small part. There are many watch-guys and rich people who buy 20, 30K watches because they can and like them. Not because they might give them to their kids in 30 years.
- solutionyogi 12y agoWell, for you, a 100 year old watch is awesome. For someone else, a gold plated watch designed by Apple is awesome. Everyone has their own taste.
