Re: You used the wrong watch in your comparison.

In Response To: You used the wrong watch in your comparison. ()

NO, I would never compare Aqua Terra to Datejust. The Aqua Terra is too bland for that. Remember, the De Ville was out first, so the comparison was already made a long time ago. I can do the same with IWC's that cost $3995. That particular De Ville only has a date wheel on it, for $3995, this is why I consider it a Datejust equivalent. Aqua Terra's are not finished on a level with Datejusts or De Ville co-axials. Not counting the Daytona, Rolex steel watches top out at only $4425, so what are we talking about here? The average person in the real world quite simply cannot afford Omega and Rolex timepieces. My Omega cost more than the average guy's watch even after my rather nice discount!!
