Howdy

I never said their watches weren't good or the firm, prestigeous.

This it what I mean


Ritzy = 5000 dollars for the most basic model
Ditzy = Thinking there are actually people who will pay that much.
Bozo = Someone who does pay that much and actually believes he has gotten a better watch for the extra cash.

Alas, there are many Bozos but few PPs

I hope this clears things up

See Ya

Javier.

You simply can't find movements better finished or more aesthetically pleasing.  I also consider Blancpain, Jaeger-LeCoultre, and Audemars Piguet to be among the top.  My current dream watch, in fact, is the Patek "10 Days".
