Agreed.

Let's be honest here.... It has been very easy pickings for UNcreative manufactures to just make the exact same timepiece and just change to a Tiffany blue dial. Nothing else is better, nothing else improved, it's just a dial change and some lost their minds and paid crazy sums for just a mainstream brand that changed dial color.

Of course it's easy profits and paid publicity for the company, a proverbial 'low hanging fruit' of marketing, and took zero creative effort or any real added costs. Just a dial, or a strap color change is all it takes.
