San Martin vs Rolex

True Dave, but only a small contributing factor. It doesn't make £9900 difference on a mass produced watch.

It's pointless trying to compare the prices, VAT alone on a £10k watch makes up £1666 of the final price, the dealer margin will be a larger chunk, etc..

The retail price of a luxury product doesn't have anything to do with it's manufacturing cost, for example the Titanium Rolex Yachtmaster will have just about the same manufacturing cost of Tudor's Ti Pelagos, manufactured in the same location, same distribution, same dealer network, vastly different RRP.

True, and if it were rolex would be broke.
