Eh for most of the 1% it just comes down to luck. You need money to make money and if you're born wealthy, you have all the money you could possibly need to do that.

Eh, as long as you are responsible and insure your stuff, if they do "lose" your watch, you can get the full msrp paid out.

It's definitely cheaper to manufacture, a female endlink means one extra part to machine.

100% agree. As watches become more expensive, you expect details and fine finishing on those details to justify the price. Compare the complexity in execution of something like an oris aquis and a nomos, there's no contest, yet they share similar price points. This is why I just can't get behind those older generations of seamasters, in person they look like $200 seiko divers.

By no means is simplicity or minimalism a bad thing, but it should also carry a lower price tag.

It is a bit fishy OP only ever posts news about watch launches and comments on his own posts, most of which are CW.
