Is this brand liked in the USA?

I live in France and the average Joe appreciate this brand but not people who collect watches. Is it the same in the USA ?


Thanks

Hmm, RJ, what’s an SDF? I need to know, because I have a B&M automatic chronograph on a, you guessed it, brown croco strap.

OK, so I won't wear my watch when travelling to France. I'd still wear it in the US, because as a European I am allowed to dress like a gangster.

Fritz:

I apologize as you seem to be confused by a forum inside joke. The original poster is a troll of very deeply entrenched opinions who posts occasionally before getting banned. His animadversions can be quite entertaining.

No need to apologize, I knew that. In my own clumsy way I was trying to play along, but hmm, this Internet thing does have its limitations… Speaking of Erne.. uhm, Farid, looks like he hasn’t been banned yet.
