Get your facts straight

Personally I could care less with regards to "emotional envolvement", I just hate to see people spread "mis-information". Sorry if my sarcasm upsets you, but I am by nature a sarcastic person :)

I fail to see how my opinion is based on distorted conclusions as I clearly stated that my main reference material was published literature (Watchtime), so with your statement your basically saying Watchtime isn't an honest rag....

The web pages I linked to were just some "opinion" posts about the Odets review, nothing more..nothing less, and certainly not something to which I hold on the same level as a "printed review" like those found in Watchtime.

Your own statement in your first post says that you hold his single review of one watch to be "fact" and your tone pretty much implys that you are ready to just all of Rolexs current product on one out of date review...re read what you posted and then try and convince me otherwise...

Also I never once said that the movement was touched in any way shape or form by Dr. Odets....I just pointed you to links which suggested that.

So basically what you are saying is that the one review you posted is more factual because of the pictorials, but the three I listed, which are all in printed reference(three seperate watchtime articles) are somehow less truthfull?? I fail to see that one, but good for you if you can believe it, just remind me never to ask you for advice on purchases :).

In conclusion, I do feel that your reasoning and your method are rather weak for arguing your point...you make all of your conclusons based on one article of an out of date product by someone who seems highly biased..... sounds pretty objective to me.
