Tommy, I'm sorry. You are very sensitive. There was no goal to upset you and be rude to your delicate mental organization. To some extent, this is really the fault of automatic translation; I have to write in short and possibly harsh words, because... if in my language I use rather mild expressions, but in the final translation I see f..k and s..t, which makes me horrified because the English that the translator uses is too simple and rude :) And yes, I'm too old to be almond-mouthed and to pour out oil with or without reason. Since selling and buying watches has been part of my family’s business for more than one generation, I have no illusions about the quality, service and business models of certain companies (and almost all of them). Speaking of Rolex, I am terribly dissatisfied with the quality of service, especially because of how much time and money their mistakes cost me. We still managed to claim money and quality repairs, but time was lost forever. And we’re not talking about cheap models here. from the consumer's point of view, the only thing that is good about Rolex is the oak movements, some of which are ready to serve for years, but with the design (from my point of view) they have big problems and there are fewer and fewer beautiful or interesting watches. It seems to me that they hired a Casio designer, or his brother, otherwise there is no way to explain the desire for terrible design lately in both the former and the latter :) if we talk about the mass market, the quality and tolerances of Asian watches are much higher, including in the premium lines of these brands. it’s like comparing the quality of a Japanese car with a Lamborghini/Ferrari (the first was a bucket of bolts, the second caught fire in my garage while idling). everything that I report and how I feel about it is my personal opinion, and does not at all prevent me from making money on what is advertised for you or what you are ready to use or desire. If you leave the thought that, in truth, you absolutely do not need a watch in most cases, and even more so, expensive watches, you still cannot ignore the fact that most companies are anti-people, i.e. they do the maximum of what they should not do, deliberately include weak elements in their products, limit access to spare parts, create artificial shortages and in hundreds of other ways parasitize on those who pay for it. people change their lives first for money and then for unnecessary rubbish. I don't think it's a good deal, even though I make money from it. there is no secret in the production of must-have watches and the formula for watches that will serve for more than one generation, despite the fact that everyone can service them, has long been known, but there are no such offers on the market ( almost). but almost all existing offers with known shortcomings are overpriced.
