Well put, O. It seems the start-ups get a cult following and then either make the next jump of blow it. I am with you... more cha-ching is not always more watch but sometime the adage "you get what you pay for" is painfully true.

And i have to agree...buy what you and you alone like... and for cry-eye...wear 'em and share 'em!!



Yes, it is well put.........but the old "get what you pay for" adage is a triple edged sword, as many times you get more than you pay for, and many times, less than you pay for.  Here is my problem with Forums and start up watches............when someone pays "up the nose" for a start-up watch.........his post (normally) are going to be very favorable.  Many, if not most, of us would be very reticent to post and admit to others (and even ourselves) that we were duped, disappointed, way over paid, yadda, yadda, yadda!  So most of the intitial reports are going to be very favorable.  It is usually weeks later that the watches are posted for sale at a loss by someone who "loves the watch but is selling to get a grail"!

JMHO, but payin 8 bills for a watch not even in production............is risky!
