Agreed... now if it's a seconds @ six dial and the edge of the chrono hand overlaps the running seconds while stationary I can see where that would be annoying if you just wanted to see...say, running seconds, and never used the chrono function. But- then why buy the Daytona
Indeed..and then when a complete failure occurs people are going to send the watches directly back to the manufacturer and the independent watchmakers are going to be screwed...
On the flip side- we might be seeing more indies willing to work on reps...
I agree...no legal issues but Rolex can chose who it supplies parts to and at what cost... if you don't play nice- no soup for you. I'm sure that's the threat they use all the time.
Lange also uses German silver for the 3/4 plating of the movement...it eliminates the need for rhodium plating (so they say) and, interestingly enough, will actually change color/ develop a patina over time.
