I'm your dream, I’m your grail
You desire but you’re no whale
Perceived scarcity, you will fail
Sad but true

Well done

I think you both know that does not matter. The price increase is mainly due to the extra labor and tool degeneration involved in working with platinum as a material

No to be sure, it’s incredibly frustrating that we all have to work this hard to get Rolex to take our money. I don’t like to feel coerced and manipulated and I’m starting to associate that with the company, not that they care lol. I mean I have been in the game long enough to remember waltzing in trying on any model I want plenty of sport models to go around and then it dried up with no signs of letting up. The only upshot is that it may turn Rolex people into watch people and there are many other compelling watches out there.
