I think the point is buy what you you want because you are informed with the decision made. Do not fall for the hype during a TV presentation from a host, or producer of a watch, whose "only" job is to sell a product...period.

As far as the micro-brand issue, I have no quarrel with you. Point here being is that when I go to sell a Miyota or ETA driven Android, I take a beating on it, yet these micro brands have a captive audience willing to spend hundreds more for seemingly the same product. Don't know why but something else I've learned in my 51 years....many time perception is more important than reality. JM2cents

In any case, enjoy the watch and hopefully you will learn a few things from us and we from you.

Thanks Tony. As far as hype, I don't fall for it. When this watch finally aired last week, I had already had it in hand. Wing stated that he was making a watch with the same case as his tourbillon. I knew at that point I wanted it. I knew the quality would be there and that wasnt going to be anything else like it around.

I must say that the resale really doesn't enter into my head when I'm looking to grab a watch. However I have noticed that the micro brands do very well in the resale market.

LMAO! Looks like I've stirred up something around here. Did I mention I have a couple micro brands coming soon? LOL!

Later
