    @jmmartin7766 4 года назад

    TGV makes an excellent point regarding people "demanding" things-- whether it's via e-mail or otherwise...
    Generalizing, of course: there is a definite *lack of manners* inherent in people's attitudes these days.
    I've noticed it in MY country (the U.S.), but I don't know whether or not this problem extends abroad.
    Sociologically speaking, it's also why channels like *The Urban Gentry* are so important-- to go beyond watches and actually *demonstrate* what a lot of people are lacking (i.e. class & manners) in their lives!
    Thanks TGV, for doing this. And to you too, Marc-- for exemplifying the firm-but-fair *professionalism* that is more rare than it should be in the 21st century...

    Your comment at 23:00 about the difference in colour and in weight between stainless steel, white gold and platinum was absolutely spot on!! These comments make the salt of this type of medium, and it would be great if you could do a demo, a real demo, on this subject -- i.e. show the three metals side by side, and use an electronic balance to show the difference in weight between the models. Also, it would be nice to show in reality what "stealth wealth" really means, in a side by side demonstration of opulent luxury vs restrained luxury. Just my two cents, keep up the great work!

    To the case point many people (perhaps only me?) don’t know that back when pocket watches were the only option you purchased the watch and then picked out a case typically separate manufacturers. I learned this while researching my great-grandfathers Elgin pocket watch I inherited and learned the value is in the case not so much the watch due to the precious metals used.
