Yup, there are. Just like there are ”idiots” who buy a watch for thousands. Some people are willing to pay this, just like people are willing to pay Nvidia for the insane prices on their new RTX cards. If you’ve got the money, then you do

Do you call people who buy ferrari's idiots when a Ford Focus will get you from A to B ?

Some people have money to burn and they see £600 as chump change. Doesn't make them idiots. Spendthrift maybe, but not idiot.

I agree with Warchild, if you have enough money for the pricing to legitimately not matter that much, you might as well have the best.

Can't really blame someone for buying something expensive when they can afford it without much or any difficulty.

Yeah I agree it's all relative to expendable income and willingness to spend more than a product is probably worth.

Having previously worked in the watch industry for 3 years previously I will somewhat disagree on some of that as an example as very high end swiss watches are often hand crafted and finished but that's neither here nor there.

I spent £3200 on a watch. I see it as a fantastic investment and the nicest I have ever had. Bvlgari <3
