I don’t challenge a brand’s pricing strategy.

The brand may have a better understanding of their costs and brand positioning than I do. And thus be more qualified to assign a price than I am.
Pricing varies widely. Chopard timepieces are underpriced. But I don’t want them to know that.
Louis Vuitton’s Tambour is overpriced. But it doesn’t bother me because I’m not in the market.
Pricing is determined by supply and demand. Even my expert opinion changes price very little.

Au contraire, the only reliable Zeitwerk is the one that's worn seldomly. And most are worn seldomly since they're a pain to wind, they're huge and thick, they're not very comfortable, and thus not worn very often. Which is good - as one will not be too d...
At least you can ruminate...

The price was so high for me that I think I have to bow out as gracefully as I can. This is one of those pieces where I realized that I actually did have to ask what the price was (it is about double what I expected it to be) and that the term, "if you ha...

That's definitely a fair opinion!

I still think this watch looks pretty darn good - and every novelty wears away after a while.
