In Response To: About: a watch is just a watch ()

Well, I tried to approach this w/ as much balance as I could. The "watch is just a watch" and the other, informed, invested remarks you made didn't fit together in my mind - so I really appreciate you putting together this Post to help me get you right.

On its own, I think the questions you raise in this last round are very important. As I've grown in my watch interests, I can now say that I'm primarily interested in "James Bond" associations. Then I work back to the name and the function and the reputation. That said, if Omega advertises -1/+6 precision accuracy, I'm gonna hold them to that, even for a watch that costs half what my Sub retails for - because advertising claims don't just have legal implications, but are part of "the Dell Deaton criteria."

Yeah ... thanks.
