I have seen some Interesting comments about Mcintosh lately

These comments come from here and a couple of other sites.

1.The only people that buy Mcintosh gear are one's that just don't listen.
2. Mcintosh is what rich people buy just like Mercedes Benz.
3. Mcintosh relies on generational buyers as a business plan.
4. Mcintosh is known for rebranding products and putting there name on it.
5. Mcintosh has great looks but uses cheap off the bin parts.

I can't think of another high-end company that have so many stereotypes about the brand. On the other hand I can't think of another audio company that has been in business as long.

Well, let's see, when was the last time you found yourself at 100 m or at 10 Atmospheres pressure?  Take your time, you don't have to answer right away.
Any time you dive into a pool with a watch on it will experience pressure equivalent of 100m at water impact.
Buying a mega-buck watch is just plain foolish but if you little ego drives you to it at least buy an elegant Omega like mine .
Just your Omega right, not all Omega's because the last time I checked the Speedmaster and Seamaster series (designed to compete against the Rolex design) cost big $$
taters,No. I do not, Ferrari are elegant and the people who drive them usually just like to drive.
Justin Beiber, Kim Kardashian, Floyd Mayweather, Chris Brown, Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, Ozzy Osbourne are just a few examples of "drivers" who own Ferrari's.  People who own Rolex are people who like to know the time LOL.

testpilot, you are silly, I don't follow celebs like you do so must be why I said USUALLY . 
As to my Seamaster  ,it was willed to me by a beloved Uncle which is the sole reason I have not sold it and given the proceeds to  Save the Children  .

Mac & Rolex have 3 things in common:
1) High profile.
2) Very good re-sale value - Due to being overpriced to start with.
3) Neither are within the top ten of watchmaking or audio.
As one of the most respected internet watch dealers for the past 25+ years - I have come to the conclusion that Rolex pays the Swiss government to COSC certify their watches as I cannot recall ever seeing 2 Rolex watches that run within COSC certification.
My favorite watch joke:
If you buried me wearing a Rolex - I would wake up & kick your A$$!

Total BS, Rolex’s are as ugly and tacky as sin , to make SURE others know what it is ! Nobody with any taste whatsoever would wear one

unlike Rolex buyers who simply have mafia level taste

schubert, those above are two examples of truly silly over reaching biased generalizations.
at least buy an elegant Omega like mine
