John, i agree. i have a 75190 that is super smooth and nice to look at... while on my mom's wrist most of the time. my 7021's second hand bobbles along in a clumsy manner. you have to actually get one in your hand to really appreciate it. and its been fully serviced and keeps great time

supply/scarcity and demand = $$

I have never, ever seen a blue snowflake in the wild......EVER

You guys can argue about ETA movements and prices...but times change and I think if you want a nice blue snowflake it'll cost near $4,000 IMO...

Adam has some extremely high end pieces, he didn't choose the Tudors because they were cheaper.

Sometimes a rare Tudor is paprika to a sub's meatloaf.

And honestly these are just sports movements of roughly equal durability, not exactly MB&F here.
