We can only hope! A lot going on in that video. As I'm sure your post covers, he seems to have the same misunderstanding of the "poor man's carreras" that many others do. I also get the strong impression that he has never seen a Carrera in the flesh being that he completely overlooks the drastically different cases, finishing details, and depth and detail in the dial.
