You didn’t get it. I was injecting a little sarcasm here to your question which demonstrated IMO an utter lack of horology. Pull up your big boy pants and recognize the silliness of your OP and your asinine (pun intended) reaction. Or maybe just do a little research first if you want to be taken seriously.

I couldn’t agree more. Maybe there can be a TRF lite forum next door.

Interesting point.

Could be named a spider person then. But that may cause another explosion on the internet to grab the latest version of the watch. I foresee another shortage.

Well, sometimes nicknames can be quite hurtful
