But why?

...and every time you look at it, you think "It's 14:32, and I could have bought a Rolex instead"... :sigh:

I did. About 20 years ago I won £1,500 and so bought myself a *Rolex Oyster Date*. Apart from the times its been serviced I've worn it every day since and only take it off if I'm doing particularly mucky work such as working on the old car.

If the BOM+ cost* for this is around $1000, the remaining $20,000 is for the Seiko brand. So, Brand value = 20 * BOM+ value. Aside, which other products have higher Brand/BOM+ ratio? * including labour, overheads, etc.

It's the servicing cost that's the killer! :laugh: What is it now, about £400 every three years? I know they raised the price from £250 a few years back.

Like 700 of my current watch, shipping included. I love wristwatches, I have one since I was six and at age 10 I abandoned the cheap plastic wristband in favor of steel ones. When I was 14 my dad bought me a wonderful auto-winding Citizen, it costed 100$ and was pretty precise - about 20 sec/day which is very little compared to the supposed infinite life of the watch (after all he was wearing a 15 years old Seiko and used it at work, he's been both a truck driver and a mechanic so it was abused a lot and was still perfect. Also batteries cost 10$ each X|). Well, 3 years later the mechanic was elephanted up and the clock face rotated in place so the 12th hour would sit on varying positions. Repairing it was nigh impossible. Well elephant it, I'll buy a new one - a very beautiful auto-windong Citizen for 150$. Same problem, but after 1.5 years. OK elephant Citizen, elephant auto-wind, I'll buy a cheap Casio. 9 years and 10$ of batteries later I still had it on my wrist, changed a week ago because the wristband ruined. My dad's reapiring it (he has the spare part) but I bought another Casio - as beautiful as any Citizen I ever had.

My last service was a few years back and cost £300. I've had it serviced twice so far, maybe get another one in a few years. Every 3-4 years is too much.

... because we will see the price of Apple Watch raised to $50,000.

I am a collector of such things (nice watches that is), and have 9 right now, running from about $20 to this one http://www.watchismo.com/devon-steampunk.aspx[^], which retails at around $28,000. (it was a gift, I rarely wear it - not my style :-D ) http://www.Watchismo.com always has some nice ones available.

sometimes it feels like it... I kinda like it, but it is too outre for me to wear generally - I really need to be in the mood. :laugh: This one http://www.watchismo.com/the-bradley-black-mesh.aspx[^] is my current go to watch. I wear it all the time, just see someone look at my wrist to figure out what time it is...

I like that. I never wear a watch, but that looks nice and clean. Though I think maybe I'd want the "hands" reversed. If I recall correctly, my mother had a grandfather who was blind -- he removed the glass from his pocket watch so he could feel the hands. :thumbsup:
