Each to their own, I can respect that.
However, if you get pleasure out of haveing a superbly engineered timepiece that will not only last your lifetime but will please you kids and their kids... I have 2, both were gifts, one for my 21st (Explorer II) and one from my wife (Sea Dweller) 11 years on and I still get a thrill from looking at it and hearing the cool 4x a second tick. I am quite sure that if, nay, when I get a Rohloff it will give me as much pleasure too.
The old argument that I have heard against getting expensive kit is 'well they both tell the time' or 'well it still gets you from A to B'. This is a valid statement, but again.. 'Each to his own'
(Note: I am in no way affiliated with Rolex or Rohloff
