You are obviously more emotional about this whole issue than I am. That's fine. On the other hand, your sarcasm does appear to be a little bit out of place to me, especially to the extent that it's based on arguably distorted conclusions. Read on!

First of all, I don't "deem" a "single review" as a fact. However, certain pieces of evidence pointed out in that review do appear to me as facts. Metal shavings, unfinished parts, scored holes. Those are facts. The photos, they're "substantiating evidence". If what you intend to say is that the movement was maliciously tampered with by Dr. Odets for him to arrive at his conclusion, then you may have a point. But where's the "substantiating evidence" of this?

For you to disagree with me is perfectly fine. I think the debate, in the end, is only better and the conclusions to be drawn in the end, more intelligent.

But for you to insinuate that my reasoning and my intellectual method for arguing my point is either weak, abscent, or irrational is disrespectful regardless of your intent. "My recommandation to you" is that your arguments would not suffer so much if you concentrated on replying to the actual opposing arguments instead of the person making it.

"Good luck"

: posted that review was because of its
: "factual" content, whatever makes
: you happy.

: I wish that I could take a single review and
: deem it as "fact" in my mind,
: however I usually like to have
: substantiating evidence, or other reviews
: which illustrate the same findings. I urge
: you to find another review, either in print
: or on the web which comes to the same
: conclusions as Dr. Odets...if there is one
: out there then it is news to me, as I have
: tried and have yet to find anything even as
: remotely negative as he was.

: Also, one must remember that Rolex no longer
: makes or sells the movement that is in the
: watch reviewed, and the new movement which
: is in its place has already been deemed of a
: much higher quality.

: While I would love to be able to copy and paste
: reviews from watchtime on the internet,
: unfortunately they do not publish on the web
: and I do not have the free time to type out
: the entire review....

: my suggestion to you would be that you go and
: order these backissues from watchtime and
: read up

: June 2000 (SMP vs. Sub review)
: Feb 2001 (New Daytona Review)
: October 2002 (Day Date review)
