if u dont sub-consciencly think rolex is better, w

:hy do u type rolex in CAPITALS ????!!!!!

The real point is not the hypothetical problems
: with an approach, but the real fact of does
: it work or not?

: I see a lot of people on Internet watch forums
: making a big fuss about such theoretical
: problems. But it is all a bunch of blowhard
: bullcrap unless someone can provide tangible
: proof -- not just fear/uncertainty/doubt
: aspersions -- that the design fails in
: real-world situations.

: I also see a lot of the childish mentality that
: whatever ROLEX does is the indisputable best
: answer and anything another brand does
: different is a reason to insult that brand
: -- whether there is any tangible proof or
: not.

: Companies like OMEGA and ROLEX do a lot of work
: in designing hardy products. It is critical
: to all these premium manufacturers that they
: products survive in the real world. If not,
: then they get hit with a significant expense
: in warranty claims and public reputation.

: Sure, they may not all come up with the same
: solution. But that doesn't autoamtically
: make one obviously perfect and the other a
: clear failure.

: Again, all you have presented is your opinion
: -- for which you have no solid evidence --
: that one approach is 'flimsy' and the other
: clearly better.

: I have a ROLEX, too. And I see absolutely no
: evidence that the bracelets on all my OMEGA
: watches are in any way inferior to that on
: my ROLEX.
