[quote][i]Originally posted by DaveyLC[/i] [quote][i]Originally posted by James[/i] I do understand why people like expensive watches but I'm not sure comparing them to cars is valid. With a car, price reflects so many factors that affect the user like speed, comfort, extras etc. But an expensive watch doesn't give the user anything more than a £5 watch does, it tells the time in exactly the same way :o [Edited on 16-02-2012 by James] [/quote] It is valid to compare.. Expensive cars are expensive because they are a styling and mechanical marvel.. Most of the very high end watches are mostly hand made and the components are of a extremely high quality they will also last for many, many, many years. You do get exceptions e.g. Brands like Armani, Hugo Boss etc. which is the watch equivilent of a Fiat 500. People buy this over priced piece of shit because its fashionable but we all know its a Ford KA underneath in the same way the Armani and Hugo Boss watches are no better than a £10 argos jobby they just have a "badge".. Tag Heuer can also fall into the trap above because they still command a massive price tag even for the cheaper Quartz models. Your analagy about a £5 watch being as good as an expensive one is also the same in the car world: 99.9% of people would find a cheap hatchback far more useful in their day to day life than say a Veyron...
