Horological Meandering: I can see you have been a member of this community for a long time.

Then I do not quite understand this hostile attitude? But maybe it’s me who is in the wrong place?

Horological Meandering: Debating this with you leads us nowhere.

I focus on watchmaking knowledge, not the office of cork boxes, whatever that might be! Or maybe this whole forum is irrelevant to me?

Horological Meandering: So you know that the production cost of a Rolex watch is 5,2 US dollar?

Patek Philippe: PP is fully capable of making - and have made - movements that can fill the case, or rather the other way around.

Horological Meandering: Is there the thing where we saw a pilar (or was it Roskopf) movement the other day?

And then they are charging over 5K for it! The marvels of modern marketing.
