[QUOTE="Schlafftablett, post: 3962712, member: 47874"] I own a Sub because of the legacy of the thing and would love to have a GMT for the same reason and think that there are a ton of other folks that feel the same way. I also agree though that a lot of Rolex owners buy them simply because of the name. If they were really looking for a quality tool watch they could get an Omega, Tudor, or any one of 100 brands that perform as well or better for a fraction of the price But don’t because they enjoy telling/showing people they have a Rolex. That said, this is a pic thread so here’s my choice for the day…. the only HK branded Laco Flieger I’ve ever seen In person. This was a special edition co-branded watch only sold in Europe 10-20 years ago. It’s an amalgamation of standard Laco parts that basically allow them to build a nice quality price point watch. Interestingly, from what I have been told, Laco was the first company to really do co-branded watches simply for advertising purposes. I am aware of several other brands that partnered with retailers such as Rolex and Omega but the German brand was the first to offer their own watch with non-affiliated companies branding. [/QUOTE]
