I recently became a member of 'Team Viceroy', and I have surprised myself as to how nice they are.
I think the pricing is because it seems difficult to get a good one. There are many out there, but only a few really nice ones.
Having become addicted to mine, it has everything - famous caliber, traditional red/black/white of the Heuer brand, old enough to have a lot of vintage, motorsport connection, cool acrylic glass, cool tachy bezel, not overly massive on the wrist with clear DNA back to the early Autavias. They have sporting looks combined with a classy/dress appeal. I can see why they are so popular.
