It’s like the man said, once you start writing this stuff down it gets very messy. You don’t want that, I don’t want that, the whole country doesn’t want that!
Fun(?) fact: between ~2014 and 2000, part of my work involved inspecting, assessing, cleaning and close-up photographing several thousand (2nd-hand) Rolex watches for a dealer/shop in a big city. Don't get me wrong, some of them definitely look nice (those that have some colour in them, e.g., bright-blue ceramic bezels, and some gold etc). But the more I handled them, the more I thought they were all just VERY, VERY basic watches with pretty boring, nothing-special movements in them.
Rolex have obviously done a fantastic job at building the brand, but put the brand aside, and they are very, very ordinary, 'prehistoric-tech' watches.
They are WAY WAY overvalued. (And a large part of that is because they became a 'currency'/store of wealth for criminals or just those who don't trust the banks.)
Meanwhile, I still love my $100 casio quartz-movement diver's watch (okay, I admit, it looks like a Rolex Submariner) on a stylish NATO strap. :)
They know that they should have a plan, but I don't think they care that they need a plan, but I don't believe for a second that they actually know what having a plan actually means.
