: I am wondering which litterature or magazine
: you have been reading but my uncle wears a
: 1971 seadweller that was service once in 34
: years and never had a problem. My watchmaker
: wears a 1948 oyster perpetual, its precison
: is +2 sec per day.
: Rolex has a very very strict quality controls,
: you can't like rolex that is your problem
: but don't try to say that their movements
: are bad quality when it is not the case.
: The litterature like watchtime is mainly
: written by people who are more into
: marketing than serious watchmaking. I
: clearly remember the article of the
: chronomat evolution vs omega speedmaster.
: The lemania 1873 is a better movement than
: the valjoux 7750. The press has a focus to
: sell a product, the watchmaker has a focus
: to explain you clearly what is better
: quality or not.
: The micro stella balance wheel has made its
: proof since 1977 and is still a reference
: today, how can you explain then if according
: to your logic that some people who own
: rolexes haven't tehir serviced their watches
: since 15 years?
: Incredible statements? No. Ask any watchmaker
: what is the reference in terms of absolute
: robustness in terms of automatic movements,
: you will get the same answer: rolex 3135 and
: same is for chronographs: rolex 4130.
First of all, how do you know what kind of literature I’ve been reading and why do you assume it was some popular junk?? Just because your uncle wore a Rolex and never had a problem it doesn’t prove anything! I happen to own a vintage 1981 Seamaster omega that NEVER had a problem either ( it hasn’t been serviced in the last 15 years and keeps perfect time)—what does that prove?? that Omegas are the best in the world???? No everyone knows that each mechanical watch can have problems. Those articles you provide STILL do not prove anything. You need to get real and stop acting like a know- it-all. And lastly, I didn’t say Rolex don’t make quality movements—just that they AREN’T THE BEST!!!
