On the other hand, the comparison with LV bags and stuff is shallow and a bit silly IMO.

I agree...but...the ladies' Patek Philippe Twenty-4 is Quartz. I'm not sure how PP can justify the price.

The car analogy isn't quite apt, because your whole body is surrounded by the car, you can feel differences when you drive it, etc. A TAG or Invicta can tell me the same time as my Rolex. Of course, after 15 years of daily wear my Rolex is still gorgeous, and an absolute delight to wear. It is truly a great watch.
