BUT, at the end of the day, its just like any over priced high ticket item including a 40k Hermes handbag.

200% or 300% markup to wholesalers. And a wholesaler makes about 100% on markup as well. So that $7,500 watch costs a hair under $4,000 to buy from Rolex direct, so Rolex probably has $1,000-1,250 in total manufacturing costs.

If it makes you feel better about yourself, COOL.
The same can be said about BMW cars vs other brands.
