Well, a lot of the Daytonas that people fawn over have zenith movements inside them... I also don't think I buy my watches as status symbols. I very much doubt most people could even tell you what an IWC costs, even less have probably

Do you have to pay tax to the Government where you live to buy a house ? I'm wondering if Stamp Duty is just a UK thing. Here we pay a tax to the government when you buy that is based on the value of the house you are buying. Up to £25
