You are 100% spot on.
I have always mentioned that I was working class. I couldn't put my finger on how to say it.
You did. I am certainly not within the "can afford" or "the haves" group. It's just that I am a persistent and motivated saver.
And because I have been around for years, several good retailers actually put aside the watches for me, until I pay up.
I have never put anyone into a bad financial position, so it is easier for me to have the retailer trust me to buy it...and often, I have put in 90% of the price before I collect.
I am sure 99% or 99.99% of owners of RM, MBF, Opus and GF are not at all like me.
They can afford it.
But Ronald, you have made an excellent observation.
You know that I buy Seiko and praise them as highly.
Heck, I have been even accused of having poor taste on more than 10 public occasions....for picking a Hamilton over a Patek...strangely never the other way around.
Thank you for untying a knot in my brain, whatever of it is left.
