They are kind of casual, budget collectors. But still love watches though. i also saw a few online post about people seeing scalpers and resellers in the queue.🤣 ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vegas Turbocharged March 28, 2022 Share March 28, 2022 8 hours ago, Starry said: For most people, a watch is unnecessary because you can use the phone to tell time. I used to think the same, until one day, I realised that inside that mechanical watch, there are 200-300 small parts (complication watches will have even more parts) that has be machined and hand-assembled perfectly in order to tell accurate time. No batteries required. And this "tech" was invented more than 100-200 years ago, made it even more impressive. It is a historical display of human craftsmanship and ingenuity. When we wear a watch today, we wear a piece of that century old human ingenuity and their historical significance. It is not just to tell time. And in the case of the Omega Speedmaster, it is the only watch that is certified to go to the Moon. Many brands were tested, but only Omega Speedmaster was selected. The watch not only has to be accurate, but it has to withstand the extreme conditions that are different from Earth. When Apollo 13 got into trouble, it was the Speedmaster that was used in 2 occasions to help the astronauts safely back to Earth. The re-entry timing back to Earth was so critical that any error would have rendered the astronauts forever in space. No other watches could say that they have done such a life saving feat at a distance of 384,400 Km away from Earth. If you can appreciate the above, you will understand why people pay crazy money to wear a good watch when a cheap smartphone could have done the job and more. to 95% of the pple, wearing a watch is not to tell time... 90% of these 95% wear as accessory. the other 10% of these 95% wear to tell the world: i am rich 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
