In Response To: is Omega Cheap Crap? ()

your aunt. If they don't use something, that means they don't NEED to.

You are buying a watch, a design, not for the metal. A heavy watch is about 150g. If all are pure GOLD, you are looking at $1500 metal.

Your wife/girlfriend may have bought a LV bag. We should also say "LV bags are cheap crap!". Most of them don't even have leather on it. You find plenty of $20 bags at walmart, and LV bags cost $2000.

If the kind of metal (coating) used is the cretira for "CRAP", Rolex, Partek Philip, Blancpain...... ALL are cheap crap! They can use PURE GOLD to make those watches, and still make a ton of money. However they used CHEAP stainless steel! What type of expensive CRAP are those?
