Overpriced or not is something you should consider yourself with. People have different standards in the way they see things in life, and "overpriced" is a term that is not for general use.

For example: I wouldn't mind paying for 15k or 20k for watches that I LOVE. However, I tend not to spend much on cars, or audios, or rims, or branded designer shirts or clothings. Why? Simply because I endear the value of the watches opposed to designer clothings for example. I feel a simple tailored shirt that my tailor does for a fraction of the price suits me much better and I'm getting more compliments with it.

Same goes for my wife, she spends hard on handbags... literally, her Hermes and Chanels and whatnot costs more than a luxurious car... but she'd never spend a dime on a watch. Why? She feels watches are a waste of money for something that small and doesn't get worn...

For me? Hand bags are just cured leather being cut and sewn into place... I don't understand why it costs a fortune, but I guess it works both ways?

So overpricing is *not* general term, it's a point of view. :)
