You know, the tone of your reply and actually replying by condescendingly asking "Is that your question?" was totally unnecessary. Joey asked a perfectly legitimate question and you replied with some rather uninformed and snide comments. "A watch is just a watch" - perhaps to you, but not to those of us on this forum who share a passion for Omega watches. Further, to imply that a bracelet is "trivial stuff" is rather absurd. If I found a cheap Timex-quality bracelet on my Omega watch I wouldn't be a happy camper. Omega makes some of the nicest bracelets I have ever had on my wrist, so to imply that a bracelet is "trivial" defies logic.

I'm not really sure what you were hoping to contribute with your reply, other than to attack luxury watches like Omegas.
