No argument, but wouldn't you pay $10.00 more for the watch if done right? I would. So the minimal cost passed on would be a welcomed item.
Well, yes and no...my opinion is that I will buy watches at the market price if they meet my criteria...I don't think I would be willing to pay a 1000% mark up simply to have the manufacturer do it right. It's kinda like "up charges" for sapphire crystals...if a manufacturer has a watch that everybody else can produce with sapphire crystal for X $ and his watch comes with a mineral crystal for the same price (but) I can upgrade to sapphire for "only" X $ more....I pass!
