this watch is my first swiss. still loving it. travelled with me to a few places.
the size, the weight, everything about it i loved it.
it's my first love.

your theory don't make sense leh.

branded wallets few hundred bucks got ppl rep, t-shirt also got ppl rep etc etc let alone a 2k watch.

in my opinion, not very correct to say a 1700+ watch is "affordable"

if you put it relative to how much more expensive other watches can cost, yes it is relatively affordable...but $1700 by itself is not a small amount to people who just get by daily...

the rep will probably cost 300USD + -
the actual watch 1700.

i think market for people buying this as a rep is quite low. so i guess nobody will make an effort to do a good rep, probably a lousy knock off.

but China, rep factory of the world.
anything that can make money, China won't be left out.

people who get by daily won't be considered as the target audience and they themselves won't be looking at such stuff. lol

when i meant affordable is for middle class people who would want some luxury items.

therefore 1.7k is considered affordable.

It is 300+. But you see those 2 photos I posted. They are not lousy knock off, I would consider it a first class rep. This is the type of rep that won't get called out even if you're not a high income earner. That's the appeal of it
