Don't forgot, it is estimated that VC only makes a few hundred max of each dial color per year, globally. That is absolutely nothing... and significantly less than AP makes of the Royal Oak.

There are a lot more shocking things to me - like the fact that "mass" produced Rolex subs are going for >50%+ over and have become nearly unobtainable.
I've given up on trying to justify Rolex prices and unavailability. $40k for a light blue OP is ridiculous.
