Re: Appreciate the feedback

In Response To: Appreciate the feedback ()

: The whole reason I asked was to see if there
: was any "FACTUAL support data" out
: there. Remember, I'm the guy who rolls his
: eyes at 10-year-anything claims that have
: been made as if fact regarding the Planet
: Ocean. Regarding my AD reference, I meant
: that only to establish a starting point to
: my inquiry. To be clear, I never meant that
: to be taken as anything more. I used to
: setup and administer international agent
: agreements, and I know full well that agents
: and distributors are seldom much closer to
: OEM insider information than end-users and
: customers.

: You and I are in complete agreement as far as I
: can see here, Ray.

: Returning to the thread that prompted me here,
: I would still be interested in thoughts on
: lifespan implications of materials and
: engineering, as opposed to mere spot
: performance date, one material versus
: another.

: Lack of data and even further levels of
: contrary field opinion don't disprove the
: claims I'm hearing. Maybe the conclusion is
: simply that no one knows....

I think we've reached a point of common ground as well. I also believe that no one knows or is prepared to make definitive statements regarding life span of watches.
