S.T. Dupont Le Grand is a SCAM
S.T. Dupont, an old brand, marveled for its quality and craftsmanship, but how does it hold up today? In my experience, it's nowhere near worth the 1200+ euro price tag

    I just bought an original one and I'm a bit disappointed about the finish. I paid a huge amount and I expected the edges to line up when closed - well they don't line up, by design. This time I think it would've been smarter to choose the fake version. I never did that, but the pricing is just crazy for a clasp.

    I not long ago bought a non genuine clasp for my superocean rubber dive strap online, I knew it wasn't genuine but I hoped it would do the trick, it's useless it's difficult to fit to the strap it kind of locks but sits really weird and pops open by itself. It didn't bother me it was really inexpensive and I only bought it out of curiosity, I've since changed the rubber strap to a brand new genuine bracelet correct model for the watch, which definitely was not inexpensive but looks great and increases the value of the watch anyway.

    Found that $5 "Parike" lighter on Ali. Your video is one of the only ones showing it working. $5 to $1,500 for Le Grand is not even remotely comparable. I need a torch, and value function first, then form, then sound. To have your lighter not work every single time after e1,200 blows my mind. I also don't want to press the striker wheel "up" and have to hold it in an upward motion for any amount of time, the button looks like it works much better on the black & gold $5 lighter. I feel like these companies, DuPont or Apple (noticed the keyboard) build up a cult of personality where if you take a step back and ask "is this worth my money?" you may find other better alternatives out there. I don't even necessarily agree it's a scam--their target audience simply isn't you or me, it's those that think absolutely nothing of the price. This cohort would still demand that it works, though. I hope the return was successful.

    • @F4stFr3ddy
      @F4stFr3ddy 2 місяці тому

      Well said, I returned it without issues. I would have happily bought it for 300 euro, it’s just not worth the insane premium. Apple on the other hand, I make a living with a MacBook, I don’t mind the premium and they’ve never failed me.

    I always wanted an ST Dupont lighter, white and yellow metal, I think it’s worth it. Certain luxury items you do have to get used to and learn to adjust to it, like non hacking seconds on Patek, Omega and Panerai watches knowing that cheaper Seikos can hack 🤣, or the fact that new Montblanc fountain pen nibs all need a little bit of tuning when you get it because I don’t know how they pass quality control. But in the end, when you master your product to your taste in my opinion is worth it after.

    • @ekstervogel9949
      @ekstervogel9949 Місяць тому

      Disagree, if you have to learn to use it because its not “tuned” probably, and there is a product (lighter/pen) out there that functions better i will get that. When I pay for a premium product I dont expect to just “flex with the name” i expect it to work perfectly

    • @frankv7068
      @frankv7068 Місяць тому

      @@ekstervogel9949 I like luxury things that last for generations, so I personalize with them. I like interacting with them every day. For example, luxury good year welt shoes, they are built in a way that within time your feet will soften the cork, the more you wear them the more comfortable they get. In addition, the more you polish / wax them overtime the better they look, specially with natural patina. Furthermore, sometimes I’ll even strip them to factory finish and color them myself. It’s not a brand flex, as most of the top shoe makers are not even known like that. For example, Antonio Meccariello, Norman Vilalta, Gaziano & Girling and others. To conclude, I like quality but not perfection since I like the personal aspect of things.

Its even easier to fake rollerball and ballpoint i see that being faked very often for very cheap prices.......
