    So how much do people pay attention to the mechanicals?

    Obviously, this is entirely subjective (do you care about the authenticity and artwork for a Ferrari V12 or do you just want to go 0-60 as fast as possible, in which case a Mustang is just fine).

    I've been reading a lot on how Bell&Ross uses off the shelf generic mechanicals, as almost everyone below $3k does. So you are paying purely for the design with a MASSIVE markup, vs. something like a Omega Seamaster that has a new, quality, proprietary movement.

    Just curious if anyone pays attention to this on here (I was shocked to learn that most companies, like B&R, are just design watches).

    • people pay for the apple logo too, then defend it with so much pridealbums
