Re: Series 33xx Problems Resolved???

: Yeah, and the 'reviewer' was from

: Just some info.... But you probably already
: knew everything he had to say.

: And yes, I also agree with you on the looks.
: The BroardArrow is definately has a more
: modern and sportier look to it than the
: Daytona.

: But the Rolex has a better movement, no?

Based on what I've been able to decipher from what I've read on numerous sites, yes, the Rolex 4130 is the better movement. Then again, for $6500, it SHOULD be the better movement.

I have seen a few of these at local dealers, though none in all stainless. They are nice watches, but they look just a bit too plain for me. They also lack a date function, which is something I would insist on having in a $6500 watch. That's another reason I prefer the Broad Arrow....it just LOOKS better and has a date function.
