This is some sort of sick joke, right?

Alex,

That's exactly my point. If someone who only pays $30 for a watch sees one that seems ridiculously expensive, then they could either announce their disgust and say that everyone who buys that expensive watch is being ripped off OR they could ask an expert like you to explain why you know that the watch is worth it. And then go from there. They might not get it, but you don't feel like you're being made fun of for your taste.

Anyway...
