Rick actually quite an astute observation as a noob, we long timers have noticed this also and there have been discussions. Two major points usually agreed on are: Yes REP are better but pricing is to high they are into gen automatic watch area from very refutable makers around for years forget micros plenty of nice ones out there. Secondly the overall trend of males to not wear watches ,they have their phone for time. In any event welcome and good luck on your journey into the REP world, remember gaining the knowledge to achieve your goals is half the fun.

Any TD should be able to get any watch available from the factories.

The Shock is strong with this one.

That one too.

Here's the last guy that tried to build an accurate Daytona. Nearly succeeded too, before he ate it.

Well said. Let's take it a step further: I think a lot of people got tired of being told what they can, and cannot say... being lectured to by the "enlightened" ones. You can't say someone is "black", now they're African-American. What's next, we can't call women "women"? Are they now Breasted-American? Who made those rules? And why do we "have to follow them"? So somebody doesn't get offended? Show me in the Constitution where it says we have the right to not be offended. That is not protected. Speech is. We Americans are an ornery lot, and tend to think for ourselves. If someone tells me I "can't say that!" guess what I'm going to say from morning to night, just to piss them off? Sure, it's crude to say something derogatory. So let the idiot that says it feel the pain of his stupidity, rather than inventing some "rule" and forcing it on the rest of us. Erecting sets of rules to enforce your preferred worldview does nothing but expose you as a control freak, and people won't grow and learn from that... they just get bitter. In the end, enough people were fed up with "political correctness" that they voted for the man that refuses to be "politically correct". Didn't the Left used to call that "speaking truth to power"? A closing thought: people are speculating there were a LOT of "closet" Trump supporters that didn't talk about it. But they did vote. Why was that? Why didn't they talk about it? Because they would be excoriated for the way they think. Think about that for a minute. Since when did we let thought control creep into the common vernacular? Since when did it become acceptable for people to be publicly ridiculed for their opinions? Since when did "we, the people" give that level of control over our lives to someone else? This turned out to be an election about personal choice, personal freedom and personal consequences. If you're going to act like an ass, then you'll feel the sting and learn to not be an ass. If you're going to risk doing great things, it's on you. Hope you succeed. But it's self regulation, not regulation imposed by others ... and that is what leads to maturity. That is why the Gadsden flag was created. DON'T TREAD ON ME. It's the spirit of independence.

I think a number of recent posters have hinted at something without hitting the nail on the head. In many countries, not just the USA the majority of people are sick of the way spin doctoring has come to dominate politics. Trump, whatever else has clearly said what he said without apology. People respond to straight talk. Then there is the racist card. I think again we feel we are no longer allowed to notice racial differences and in the end that is a huge game of Emporer's New Clothes. The liberals noticed the first black president and used it as a tool, so they are not exactly practicing what they preach. We notice the colour of our girlfriend's eyes and her hair, yet if we notice a skin colour we are racist? At work I can refer to the whiteboard, but can only refer to a chalk board, never a black board, so now black doesn't even exist as a colour? We know some of the most highly respected members of this board are not Caucasian. We call them are brothers and mean it, seeing racial characteristics is not a crime, but we are increasingly made to feel it is. The crime of racism is when one makes value judgements solely on the colour of a persons skin. The truth is most of us know and believe that and we are made increasingly frightened to say it. Race is nothing more than historic adaption to local conditions, we are one species, most of us are of mixed blood if we look back far enough, about three hundred years or so to a negro ancestry in my case. If you have red hair, you can be sure I will call you brick top or Duracell or something. Doesn't mean I think you should be sent to the gas chambers. So maybe MOAB is right, people voted "sick of bullsh*t" more than anything else. And maybe the political parties of the world will take notice of their electorate and change.

I'm tired of people (in particular those who hold the same political views as I do and in particular Ivy League grads) watering down the meaning of certain words in our language. There is a reason why courts and countries are arguing for years over whether certain horrible events can be called a genocide or not. Not everyone you don't like is Hitler either! So until someone uncovers a book that describes hierarchy and value of different races, written by Trump years ago while sitting in prison for trying to overthrow the government with a force of mercenaries, stop calling him (or anyone else for that matter) Hitler!
