Your understanding of the 'Rolex thing' is on a par with your

Rather a good comparison. A much cheaper watch can tell the time as well
if not better than a Rolex. In the same way as a decent CD player (with a
well made CD) p***es all over any vinyl system ever made. The difference
is any fool can tell if a watch is accurate or not. There can be no
argument there.



It isn't all about accuracy, I had a customer who wore a Rolex about 20
minutes fast. When I pointed it out to him once he just shrugged. Probably
never looked at it for the time. What was odd was that the watch was filthy
and being worn in a building site environment - picture the bloke who
presents DIY SOS.
