They're are certainly too many Richmont watches with high prices, odd styling, and awful proportions.
That doesn't seem to be as much of a problem for Rolex.

This, and the fact Rolex marketing changed the entire purchase decision away from styling and proportions to one of demonstrable affluence and success. It is a symbol more than a watch for a large percentage of their customers.

Richmont brands have not achieved that level of brand recognition to the masses.

Richemont makes, by and large, shitty looking watches which they kill the resale on by having constant design changes and terrible after sale service.
