I was surprised with Goris' honesty in answering the questions...

For instance, in describing certain clienteles, it is not unusual for most brand executives to have a very conservative stance and say very neutral and diplomatic things about the preferences of a region's clientele.

However, I think Goris knows that most PuristS are aware of the industry and afforded SJX a certain respect in giving him further details about the preferences of particular sales regions. Goris was also extremely straightforward and concise. The remarks made by Goris about all the markets fully matches my perception with the buyer of that particular market.

However, Amanico is also right, stereotypes and generalizations aren't always accurate. For instance, I have met only very sophisticated watch collectors from Russia, Romania, and Slovakia who place a high emphasis on the the movement and a brand's history and gravitate towards Breguet and Patek Philippe watches.

Overall, I appreciate Goris' responses. However, once again, I have filtered what he has said to be a generalization of the market; and I understand that there are some unique individuals in certain markets that have a different perception about watches.
