Uh, I'm sorry, the invitation to the club meeting where we let "them" into "our ranks".

have a great deal of respect for you
Sorry, I should have made it more obvious that I was writing tongue in cheek about the monarchy. Not about SpaceX though. I'm pretty impressed.
It doesn't work to do this with a democratic government. We need a monarchy
It seems to me that SpaceX is on the path to a solution that might be affordable by a single administration, though.
The truth is that the brain region is used for lying, it is smaller in men who admit to watching porn and larger for men who lie about it.
In women it is about the size of a coconut.
Duh.
Pollution? Corporations.
Global climate grant change? Scientists.

The top watches tend to be good (unless they are laden with diamonds) but the 1k-5k range is riddled with rather crap watches, often with mass produced innards from far cheaper models. This range you don't pay for the craftman ship, you pay for the brand name.
Even in the high end you got to check what you are buying, name, jewels or mechanics.
The point is that tech advances and as you yourself admit, quartz is better.
The function of a time piece is to keep the time as accurate as possible and you admit that cheaper quartz watches do a better job then this particular mechanical watch. There are mechanical time pieces that do much better. So this time piece in question has no other function then being an expensive bit of jewelry.
There are some very good mechanical watches, Tag Heuer is not amongst them, it is a hipster thingy, more about flash (look at how much I cost) then actual value for money.
Wear what you like but please don't pretend that 1 minute out of date in a month is anything then mediocre.
It takes an incredibly narrow minded and anal personality to come up with situations 99% of customers will never encounter and therefor conclude that because 1% might encounter them in a life time, an entire line of products is useless.
Oh no, a product isn't perfect for everybody! USELESS!
The NTIA are the winners that gave us ICANN.
They're under the department of *commerce*.
IANA says you can't. Courts have said otherwise.
