Not every human nowadays can handle such challenges PADI. It is deeply disturbing for them. So let's be kind and give them emotional support and validate their deepest hardship that Rolex may have triggered inside of them. Perhaps TRF could setup a special Hotline for help to those who may truly need extra special attention through this highly stressful, troubling times for which they have not been equipped to handle.

Rest assured we recognize you, and validate you. We here at TRF are here for you during these enormously challenging times.
Not sure of the need to be patronising to the OP and others there, but let's just remember that this is a watch forum and by its very nature it's all about discussing a topic (i.e. reasonably expensive mechanical watches) that is utterly inconsequential in the grand scheme of life. So whether it's back-slapping how amazing Rolex is and how they can do nothing wrong at one end, or talking about occasions where they aren't quite so amazing at the other, it's all just as valid, and simultaneously as utterly irrelevant, as each other.

If you don't care about accuracy, then that's great. But when people do care about it, it doesn't mean they "aren't equipped to deal with life". It just means they've read the Rolex marketing spiel and would kind of like their tens-of-thousands-of-pound watches to perform as expected.
