Indeed, and also a bit odd to use the term fanboy on a Rolex forum lol

On the quality of finishing issue.
Can anyone post comparison pics of high end quality of finishing (any brand and probably magnified) just to demonstrate the difference between top quality and lesser quality.

I have only owned Omega and Rolex and am interested in what the extra quality on the higher end brands mentioned here (PP AP etc) appears like.

The entire justification for a mechanical/automatic watch is that it is a masterpiece handcrafted by artisans with an eye for and attention to detail. If they're phoning it in, then how can they justify a sticker price you can buy a pretty damn nice SUV for?

No excuses but it’s because the hands aren’t made in-house. One of the few remaining components that are not. Still helluva better deal than something like a WG Aquanaut GMT
