You mean who used to wear 200k watches.

That watch is worth ~$100,000 not 2.
He’s hoping his insurance sees kol haolam.

They definitely take up more time than your watch, between buying it, caring for it, and talking about it :)

Does a $7500 mined diamond do anything different than its indistinguishable $2000 lab created counterpart?

Some of the portions are very small. Like the lamb spareribs are 2 tiny pieces for $45.

potentially the person you are getting it for may appreciate that you spent that much money on a piece of jewelry for them... "if it were real it would be worth a lot more but it was made in a lab so i got a good deal"

then again if the person your getting it for doesn't have an appreciation for the a natural mined diamond then why not buy a very nice CZ for much less then a lab made?

Cubic zirconia scratches easily from daily use-even household dust can scratch the stones.
Unlike mined, a CZ is not the same as a diamond.
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

Functionally, it is the exact same.

It is the same for all intents and purposes. Functionality, look, durability, etc. It is chemically and structurally identical (other than minute differences in nitrogen). Even an expert jeweler with a loupe will not be able to tell the difference. It takes specialized equipment.
