      You’re both either missing the point or choosing the worst possible interpretation of his comment on steel. He didn’t suggest people choose steel models because they can’t afford the precious metal alternatives. He said it’s always been in the company’s best interest to offer an affordable version. That used to be the point of offering a steel model…

      There’s being “able to afford” _monetarily_, & *really* being able to afford from a lifestyle perspective.
      Being that concerned with durability sort of serves the assertion.

      @@Boggsy. That makes absolutely no sense. Afford is not the word you’re looking for. That word would be choice. This also makes the point. Not everyone chooses a watch based on their ability to pay for it. Multiple time in this video, assertions are made, to people’s ability to choose watches, based on their ability to afford them, and only their ability to afford them. There’s the ‘bit’ about, when friend ask him for a watch suggestion, and he asks them their price range. He proceeds to tell us that he knows really knows they ‘mean less’, because we all know that people exaggerate about what they can afford. He graciously steers them to micro brands, because we all know theirs nothing wrong with them. He even bought one time, but was disappointed with its quality. Don’t count other people’s money. It’s in bad taste and as a retailer will cost you costumers.

    I think you are wrong on the Rewind. The model was produced to pay tribute to Santos Dumont who you obviously know was from Brazil. In the Southern Hemisphere, a sundial works opposition to one in the Northern Hemisphere. Thats why they made the watch go backwards.

    • @TheConductori
      @TheConductori 8 місяців тому

    Sorry but that is a totally tone deaf and obnoxious comment, that money is the only reason to offer a watch in steel. How about durability and practicality? Precious metal watches are in the minority of watches created so they’re made so you can afford a higher priced item if you want. Steel is the normality, not gold/platinum.

    • @paulbenjamin6597
      @paulbenjamin6597 8 місяців тому +3

      From what I understand is that the comment is within the context of super luxury watches from brands like AP, PP and even Rolex and GS and such, the best they offer are usually the rare metal offerings. Stainless steel varieties of those watches are usually a more affordable option for the "larger" audience. The comment is exclusive to the super luxury only, at least that made sense to me.

    • @verynormalman
      @verynormalman 8 місяців тому +1

      I totally agree with Christian. I think SS is an incredibly bad material for a watch. It's the ultimate compromise, so therefore the last thing that you would genuinely choose. Once you go to better things, you can't go back.

    @BonitoFlakes24 8 місяців тому

    I think you’re fully wrong about the Bulgari. When you most popular line is based on the fact that it is thin having the worlds thinnest watch carries that narrative. Furthermore it is basically a wash they had already created. They just did a little bit of work with the crystals get back. This would’ve been a new watch from a brand that has never had any interest or claims as far as thinness or lightness goes then I would agree.

    I’m a huge Chopard fan, but I think you’re the only person I’ve heard say anything positive about the skeletonized Alpine Eagle. I think it’s atrocious. The pattern of the dial of those watches is what gives the model line its name. Also, it’s a really poor effort at skeletonizing.

      I disagree. I don’t think anyone that is into omega gives a shit, and nearly all swatch moon watch buyers are never going to buy an actual moon watch, but for a few it will be a gateway, and that’s cool.
      Christian is right in saying “I don’t care” to the extent that Swatch could discontinue it in a few years, and months later we’ll all forget it happened, other than recalling the initial frenzy that was cool and good for the watch industry.
