Yea some of those guys have their head in the sand. That is a stunning piece.

: I was just kidding about most of the Rolex guys, but once upon a
: time I posted a message on the Vintage Rolex Forum, comparing a
: second execution screw-back Autavia with a Daytona, and several
: of the folks on the forum wanted to burn me at the stake. They
: insisted that the only chronographs that might even be compared
: to the Daytonas were the Tudors, and then someone went through
: element of the Tudors and tried to point out the similarities
: with the Rolexes. Perhaps he needed new glasses, but it seemed
: clear to me that the Autavia was a much more comparable watch.

: Oh well . . . after that encounter, I have shied away from these
: comparisons, at least on the Rolex forums!!
