What was the last computer company to advertise via fashion houses and magazines like Vogue? That certainly is thinking different.
Hell, Google & Co. have been in the playground for a while. Apple doubled that playground overnight. They most certainly are 'thinking different'.
And? That is what makes America great and one of the if not the greatest society the planet has ever seen. (spoken like someone who has been brainwashed by class-envy)

Easy. The S2000, too bad it's been discontinued.
Or the Toyota/Scion FR-S. Let the posers pose, give me a driver's car that's easy on the wallet and at the pumps.Probably a millennial who has been brainwashed to think woe is me at other peoples success while take no initiative to cultivate any success of their own.
He shouldn't complain about not having family then. That's my only point. I know alot of people who don't have kids for various reasons. One thing I don't hear them say is they wish they had a family. LOL.
Watch yet. 
At least someone understood my joke
it wasnt a joke. you were ranting, complaining and suggesting their preferential treatment was at your expense. then rogifan owned you. and now youre pretending it was "just a joke, guys". thats not what a "rant" is. a rant is a complaint, usually delivered with emotion.
Did anyone else read this and go WTH? That's the dumbest thing I've read on MR since finding this sight. There's approx. 1oz and 1.5oz of gold in the cases the 38mm and 42mm watches, respspectively. That buckle band might generously contain .5oz of gold. On the 42mm, that's approximately $2000 worth of gold; total. I completely understand the value of luxury gold items are not determined by gold content alone. But to say the gold used in the modern buckle raises the price by $7000 is ridiculous. It's a leather band with a small amount of gold. What exactly is one getting for the additional $7K?
As for Lagerfeld, a rich guy gets something for free that he could easily afford. In other news, humans need water to live.
He said his lifestyle was not fitting for raising a child. I would not call this selfish.It is better than having a child for the sake of having one and not having the time to take care of it.
Ha also doesnt have a husband so he would be a single parent. Growing up in a single-parent household with a father who is extremely old but also rich and busy all the time is not a healthy environment for a child I would say.
17k is because of Rose Gold, not Modern Buckle
If you look at the Edition prices again, you'll see the jump in price to 17k happens because of Rose Gold - not just the buckle (the grey modern buckle only comes with the rose gold model).
Given how nice the Apple engineering is, I could see a lot of people going for a very expensive ($50k+) gold link band for cheaper Watch models - because you could easily re-use the band across many iterations of watch.
I don't normally like link bands at all but I have to admit Apple's is not too bad... it actually does not pinch my arm hair unlike every other link band I have tried.
What I really want to see though, is a Rose Gold Milanese Loop... Now THAT would be something special.

I wonder what those "fashion" critics at Racked.com have to say. Oh wait, no one cares about racked.com.
That watch looks amazing. I so hope once the real gold exclusivity thing wears off, there is a (faux) gold colored watch in the line up in the SS price range.

Can you read minds now? I was being sarcastic, I'm pretty sure I know what my intention was over you.
Even if that was my intent, rogifan hardly "owned" me, he questioned my seriousness and belief that these one offs were slowing the manufacturing process of Apple Watches.
I was joking and at least one forum member understood I was doing so in my post. That is all.
Actually, it's an oxymoron but great companies don't focus on profits. They focus on bringing great value to their customers as efficiently as possible without compromising the value they bring. Companies eventually fail that don't operate this way.
That. Will. Never. Happen.

I presume there's a watch in there somewhere.
No, companies fail because they don't generate revenue/profits or cannot attract private capital to sustain operations until projected/future revenue/profits can be obtained.
looks awesome
They're really jocking the fashionista crowd hard. I think Lagerfeld is a weird dude, but Apple has done their homework and they're probably pushing the right buttons, twisting the right crowns.

Either short memory or you genuinely don't know: Apple have always ensured celebrities had their latest products. It's part of Apple's talent for ensuring their products are accepted into popular culture.
Yea, it has nothing to do with all of the marketing they will get in return that will more than cover the cost of the watch.
