In Response To: Re: Rolex. Good? ()

exactly...

: Certainly when money is no object, the whole
: playing field changes.

: I'd compare it a lot closer to Mercedes and
: BMW. Both are well known, popular and
: heavily mass produced luxury products. One
: is even more widely known and costs
: noticably more for a comparable model, yet
: both offer similar quality products. And in
: some cases, the 'underdog' of the two
: exceeds the 'grand master' in features and
: performance.

: Rolls Royce is more like Patek Phillipe.
: Prestigious, hand made in limited
: quantities, and significantly mosre costly
: than its mass produced competition.

: Best to simply evaluate each choice for its
: merits and select based on that. Our highly
: sales/marketing/competition-driven culture
: teaches us WAY TO MUCH to find differences
: and use them to judge one winner and that
: the rest are losers. This is too frequently
: to the extent of total disregard to whether
: the perceived difference is of any real
: significance! Much better to simply
: appreciate the merits of what each choice
: has to offer.
