[Leica] A new low

[Jayanand Govindaraj]

That seems to be the fashion of the hour. Have you seen some of the new
Rolex released recently? They look like a US$15k garish, multicoloured
Swatch!

As they are huge advertiser with a huge fan following, reviewers have to
gush over this! 😊

Cheers
Jayanand
