The speed which responses are being added to is indeed reminiscent of Kalra-Gate.

Sorry ernest.  Perhaps due to the better command of the language, Kalra was much more entertaining.

Just my O.

So why are not yourself entertaining as you speak good English?

ernest, do you honestly think it costs more to make a Calatrava than say, a Sea Dweller?  And if it does, do you think that accounts for the $7000 difference in price between the two watches?
Do you think it cost more to make a SD than a Seiko ?

And if it does, is the difference of $4000 or 35 times more?

Sea Dweller is for diving. Do you dive ?

I do not, so I do not need it.

Patek is for being dressy. I sometimes need to be dressy. So I need a PAtek.

Lets go back to the subject... I have found links which would match well with my Patek :

Wow, this has to be a new record. Over 70 replies for me to read between leaving work and getting home, on one thread.

GG, I don't know why you insist on finding redeeming value or having a conversation with some kind of conclusion. You're really missing the point of Ernest.

I blame it on a lack of coffee and cigarettes. It always brings out the worst in me.

What does it mean?

Is GG the guy who manage at least to post 80 messages with 50% of them talking about me?

Actually it does cost more to make a mechanical Sea Dweller than a quartz Rolex, which I am assuming is what you are discussing. The Grand Seiko Spring Drive is about the same price as the Sea Dweller FWIW. BTW, I never said that a Rolex, or any high end watch, was a good value.

Actually I do dive, and drive as well, so driving sport watches are good for me. Suits are for working, since you aren't doing that, you don't need any.
