Jeff,

You fleshed it out but I think we are saying the same thing. People care about celebrity and money...but even most of the bigwigs to whom I may sell a bigwig watch don't care about it in the way I as a watch nerd care about it.

BTW, I love the guys who care or grow to care about watches...who buy a cool watch and grow more and more fascinated by the wonderful little machine breathing on their wrist or in their pocket...I just know that the majority of cool watch wearers just like the fact that friends and associates notice what is on their wrist and think about the $$$.
