I'm going to back up Tyre here and agree.  Around these parts the average person just doesn't "get it".  Those that due are more interested in collecting and restoring vintage and antique timepieces then acquiring a new luxury timepiece.  Yes they've all got one Rolex and one Omega but that's it.  Then they're back to pocket watches or marine chronometers  and the like.  Those are the serious horology folk I talk to anyways.  The other buyers are the boardroom types that go in for prestige and have no idea what's 'under the hood'.
