I think Hublot prices are equally outrageous....

The ETA movement can be extremely accurate when. I agree but most watches are a fashion accessory really.

A ferrari is more bespoke, hand crafted and exotic but a ford is more reliable and does a better job at "telling time." We all want the ferrari!

I'm not bashing an ETA movement; don't get me wrong, it's the workhorse of the entire industry. It's just an in house beskoke movement and you can get that movement in <1K watches. Hublot, Tudor, IWC, etc, etc... all use variations of it.
