This reminds me that I should bring people’s attention to these:
Setting aesthetics aside, these so-called “stingray” straps exploit literally dozens of species of rays worldwide.
Rays are part of the same order as sharks - cartilaginous fish that tend to be long-lived and not terribly fecund (So-called K-strategists).
Most species are exploited only for their skin and a few anatomical features - and most are somewhere between threatened and teetering-on-extinction.
No care is taken by most strap-makers about sustainable sourcing, so it is preferable, if you can so bear, not to purchase anything made from so-called stingray skin.
Thanks for your forebearance

Unicorn foreskins FTW.
I love the look of teju leather straps what’s Maureen o’greentwats ecological cuntometer rating?
£21k for a steel Daytona in Belfast today 
Hmm, that could be read in several ways.
Please mentally preface with “They were asking …”, not “I paid …”
Ugly bluddy things, I wouldn’t give you £21 for one*
(Second bit is a lie, I would. Then I’d sell it.)
Nup, always liked them.
However when I was properly into watches retail was about £4k and street price was £6k, and I wouldn’t pay that then.
£21k, sheesh.

Rolex prices are just utterly batshit, and it’s dragged most of the big names up with it. Such is marketing when coupled to the power of herd-mentality - not least cos most of their stuff is ugly and tacky (except the recent Air King, which I do covet).
Glad I spent some time exploring the the less-known Swiss and German stuff, and the microbrands.
Some suggestion that Rolex prices are showing signs of weakening popping up on the watch forums. Prolly wishful-thinking!

I was appalled at the grotesqueness.
You dont like Rolex? You should’ve said and perhaps consider mentioning it more often.
