Sorry I meant usually it does.

Not even usually. Aesthetics are personal preference. The fact that you tag your preference for aesthetics to mostly align to cost is comical.

The early Speedy, 5970, Roger Dubuis Hommage H40 and Cornes de vache with the stunning Lemania Y U and V intermediate bridge in a great size case.

In terms of absolute finishing in that list of brands, the Lange 1 Tourbillon Handwerkskunst's L961.3 is a finishing school's shock and awe.

Separately, the LUC Flying Tourbillion is an elegant good size watch. And last but certainly not least, the 16202.

What can I say the watches that are a bit cheap don't do it for me.

And that's exactly why you are comical.

These convos are best left alone. Yes, I know I didn't follow my own advice this time.

Please enlighten the forum as to what you consider a "bit cheap"?

I can't argue with this logic. When I saw the Greubel Forsey Balancier Contemporain was not even CHF 200k, l immediately laughed in disgust. Something so cheap is clearly under my standards.

You see, you like the finer things* in life because you know your worth.

This is why I use cashmere sweaters as toilet paper and import famous paintings to use as kindling for my fireplace. I deserve it.
