lol... ernest, I have a 14" forearm and about 9.5" wrist. That's why I need a larger watch. That's what happens when you bench twice your body weight.

1) Marketing You said yourself that ROLEX was the most famous... So who spend more in marketing? Patek or Rolex?Quote:
Yeah Daytonas are hard to find as well, oo they are expensive, especially in some color combos. Â Rolex makes the most watches of any premium maker per year though.2) Supply Why is a Daytona more expensive used than retail price??
I could care less what people think is necessary, I personally like matching at least an element of my tie/square.3) Match Matching doesn't mean exactly thhe same, it can just be similar to be called matching... Same or similar, you do not create the contrast that everyboby here claims to be necessary.
And what is the use of bentch twice your body weight?lol... ernest, I have a 14" forearm and about 9.5" wrist. Â That's why I need a larger watch. Â That's what happens when you bench twice your body weight.
1) Â Seamaster is not a simple watch. It is a big sportwatchQuote:
The watch looks very nice, but you can tell it isn't brand new.2) It has been made in 1977. What do you want more durable? Scratches? You are ridiculious there because there are no special scratches (this is simply a brushed case so it doesn't shine.) and because scratches do not change a watch. What do you do with your Rolex after the  first scratch? Do find it ugly?
Blue is a very nice color, indeed.You do not like blue?
Ernest, we have yet to see your member photo, so we have no way of knowing whether you are skinny or fat.3) You are rather fat I know, so it is true that large watch are better on you than very thin one but you have large watches which are not tacky and have a real movement.
ummmm....you lost me on this one.On clothing, I guess you have different taste with the all forum as NOBODY would say it is nice to match tie/pocket...
Aha...Dat Vas You. Jahvohl... Ve Vill Find you Und Do Vat Ve Do to Stoolies, Der lovvest on der totem pole uff life.Ahhh. Â I bailed prior to the beginning of the discussion. Â Saw his Avatar and PMed J. Â I imagined nothing that followed would be of value. Right I was.
Ha ha, yeah, me too.It was a diversion, and luckily I was able to get some work done while I was conversing with yall.
But a chrono is not a simple watch like Calatrava...Patek was originally seen as more exclusive, which justifies the higher prices, however you can get Patek in far more retail outlets, however, people are still paying the higher prices for the present time, that will change.
I don't really think it costs that much more to make a Patek than it does to make a Rolex, material costs excluded. Â Certainly the movement is a bit more intricate and smaller to fit in the slimmer case, but that's about it. Â Certainly the "complicated" line of Pateks may be much more difficult to make, but the regular Calatrava? Â I doubt it costs much more than a Daytona chronograph.
You know what? Â I don't really like Rolex much more than Patek, I just happen to own a Daytona (and a Sea Dweller). Â I actually do like Patek, and I posted a Patek watch that I like quite a bit. Â I just think for the most part that they are overpriced and that they aren't as exclusive as they once were. Â It's not that I don't like Patek Phillippe in general, I just don't like the one you have.
