- Swiss movement, which has historically always been the best

And which of these items are worth $4,500, or the 9 additional $500 watches you could buy?

I will agree that there isn't much difference between an Oris, Omega or a Rolex. The Omega costs probably twice as much as the Oris, and the Rolex probably costs three times as much as the Omega. I don't think any of them make their own movements (as the real high-end watchmakers do).

A high-end watch is the most absurd of luxury items. Why not just get yourself a jewelled bracelet?
