To those who felt uncomfortable with my party expression:
1) It's an expression, period.
2) It's not about status or something, but instead my appreciation for well made products.
You buy a Lange and you expect no less than everything about it to be made to the highest quality level possible. That everything is more than just a well engineered and finished movement that the powers the thing. You will want all the little fine details on each component - the fit & finishing of casing, the handmade alligator strap and the gold/platinum buckle, to be paid the equally extensive attention to. If I buy a Datograpgh and find later my strap and buckle are inferior to some of the entry level Lange's (Say Saxonia 3 hander), I will ask the manufacturer to custom make one built to Saxonia spec and to fit Datograph - if manufacturer is not able to do that (which they are...), I will reach out to a 3rd party (ABP Paris maybe) for the job. And I did have manufacture custom made components on my Breguet. It isn't a Lange/Breguet pretending to be a Patek.
You buy MP parts from BMW for similar reason. Respect it or not, that's it.
