Fair enough. I totally understand. I'm employed full time as a data analyst and I still can't afford an Omega. But it's the engineering behind the manual movement that fascinates me.

Just like the mechanical/automotive engineering behind petrol/diesel engines fascinate me more compared to electric motors on EVs. I'd still own an EV as that's the future but I'll always appreciate those mechanical gasoline powered engines. I get you analogy! :)
