I was having a look at them at a boutique recently and they have way too much polished surfaces; specially the chunkier models.

>> No.13606289

Not just that, but that they apply that polishing to all their cases in the cheapest, fastest way possible leading to their cases having heavily lozendged edges and tons of optical distortion.

I am angry that luxury items cost so much
I understand that is retarded
But for fuck's sake - $4,500 for a goddamn Speedmaster 3570.50.00?
$5,900 for a Herman Miller Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman?
I get it, they're luxury items, but buying the real thing and enjoying such great, classic designs the right way is so embittering, so exorbitantly overpriced - it's ridiculous
Lux watch inflation is so extreme it's insane

yeah you took the most overpriced items as examples. The Eames Lounge chair is not that special, theres a youtube video on how they make them. Price should be no more than 1k and even then the profit margin would be huge. The Speedmaster lives off its history, the movement even has plastic parts. If you have that much money to spend there are way better options

I think a good question is what is luxury? In cars it's always having the latest electronic gadgets. In watches, having the latest electronic gadgets is considered not luxurious. So it's a matter of marketing. If let yourself fall for marketing, you're obviously going to get taken for a ride. Create your own definition of luxury.
