·Honestly, I used to think that beating the crap out of my watch was great. The reason we are getting so protective is because of the brand. If we are supposed to treat it like tools, then price them like tools.
Bring the price back to $324 for a rolex cosmograph or omega speedmaster pro and I will beat the crap out of all my watches.
There's not too much of a defense when it comes to Rolex pricing as it is a bit outrageous but rising cost of goods surpassing inflation is a very real and witnessed in almost everything... getting brand new cars for a few thousand $$, coffee for a nickel, etc. None of those things have stayed at their inflationary equivalents either for the most part. Everything just costs... more money than it used to. 🙁
