I may be missing something in the specs but can someone tell me why this watch is so expensive?

I should add - the watch is not to my taste but that is horses for courses. I do find it objectionable though calling a watch "iconic" before you have even started selling it...

Seriously, it look like a bad toy.
The case and parts(except the movement) are mostly likely made in Hong-Kong as the full mounting/assembling...
Why it's so expensive? Because it's English and exclusive...And they need money.

Sorry, I just burst out laughing at my desk - much to the bemusement of my colleagues.
