Granted...my comments may be little over the top, but I'll stand behind their validity.

No, I don't think your comments were off-target a fraction of a degree. In fact they were dead on.

Those watches are not revolutionary, they are not unique, they don't explore new technologies and they're almost impossible to tell the time.

Strongly concur!

Those "Extremes" can't even be passed off as "Haute Horology" due to their lack of complication and/or new movement design. They are nothing more than a vulgar and tasteless excuse to extract even more cash from the jet-set crowd.

Those who want to be seen.

Note to Self: I'll feel like quite an ass if somebody here has one.

I wouldn't be. It's the truth.
