You might want to channelize your energy into speaking beyond money

Dear Bernard

I appreciate that except for those that are "born into money"; every one that buys a watch beyond a nominal price point, has to save up; except that the effort, time and the quantum differs.

Fundamentally I do not see anything wrong in speaking about MSRP or after market prices or price related discussions. But they do not help elevate and sustain the discussions.

I have always enjoyed reading many of your posts, especially when they are about technical aspects of the watches that you have owned or had opportunities to review.

It would be brilliant if you can focus your knowledge and energy in helping all of us gain better understanding of technical excellence of the brands that you admire or  if you can conduct and present comparisons of the top brands in terms of various aspects such as Time Keeping Stability, Finishing, Long Term Performance, Service quality etc. The reason I ask is that very few persons have a real opportunity to own the range of brands and complications at that level as you have ( i.e. MB&F, Greubel, Vianney, Dufour, Cabestan etc).  I would believe that you as an owner and a horology expert will be most suited to perform these comparisons and write in an unbiased manner.

In short, please if you can dwell less on the effort that you had to put in to afford the watch(es) in question, but rather on the aspects stated above; we will all benefit.

Thanks.
