Yes, it states that Rolex makes movements that in his opinion; the buyer would be better served buying a quartz movement. I do not feel that your statements about Rolex quality are consistent with what those who actually repair the watches report.
I have supported my opinions, and those of others, with links to articles that support my statements. You have made statements about the quality of Rolex movements, but in the real world, without the advertising hype; it appears that the quality of Rolex movements is not more than what you would find in most quality watches. The fact that it is an in-house movement, manufacturing over a million units a year, makes it just another mass producer of watch movements.
