... to the brand. However i like that brand too, this is just wrong.
About the prices, don't worry for them Mark, their margin isn't that tied. With the quantity and price of gold or platine it's not what's going to come into play. Just look at the price difference between 5070G and P, it should convince you.
They are not developing anything new here, they already have it all, except the dials, so without going into details, its not a 5 pcs per ref production project. They knew those piece were big success, they represented an era, they decided to come back with a kind of hommage with new dials. They are not going to make a fortune out of this, they know that collectors should hunt them in the futur, maybe buy them at much higher prices in auctions, etc...
Of course, price is not the main issue here, its hardly the cherry on the cake. They price as they want or as they think they will sell... You are free to buy or not.
The main problem goes deeper than that, its about coming back with something that was discontinued years ago. Credibility Mark, that's what is at stake...
