This description no doubt applies to a good number of people who buy mainstream expensive watches with the principle purpose of flaunting their wealth. The trick is have sufficient intelligence to realise that not everyone has the same motivation - on either side of the argument.

How is purchasing expensive cars any different?
Both are just hobbies....
Comparing a quartz replica watch to a watch that has an in-house movement with various complications is like comparing a fake lambo with a Pontiac Fiero base/engine to an Aventador.
Do not forget unique in-house movements coming out of some of the expensive watch brands/makers.
