Yeah, maybe........But you are a well know Rolex Fanboy and everyone here knows it David. Its OK, there is no cure for it
but if you freely admit it and can work with it, its not fatal.
As with all arguments with Rolex Fanboys, most the their information is so full of holes it looks like someone blasted it with a
shotgun.
Parachrom blue hairspring? Why not make it out of silicon like Omega and now its totally anti-magnetic. The Parachrome blue
is resistant to magnetism, not immune from it. Probably be useless if you also made the balance out of silicon too. KIF shock protection? Funny, most watchmakers I polled thought both worked
well and it really make little difference in the brand. Must be a regional thing or if Rolex uses it, its got to be better. Right?
Maybe the thoughts of the faster running movement keeping better time is right. It makes sense to me. Thats why Rolex
took a Zenith movement running at 36,600 and slowed it down to 28,800 for all those Daytonas. Makes perfect sense.
The microstella balance is nice, probably make it keep BETTER COSC time than any other. The list goes on Dave.
Ain't nobody gonna listen. Matt got it right and was able to put his thoughts down in that great style he is famous
for and in a way that makes Holbrook look pretty silly, in my opinion.
