That's what it sounded like to me anyways...but what do I know? I couldn't afford Holiday Inn so i stayed at a Motel 6 last night..I hope this rash goes away....
Well, if you search back through his posting history, he has a habit of trolling posts and bashing Panerai, Tudor, AP, Patek, and pretty much anything else other than watches he owns (Rolex and Omega). He got threatened with a ban for repeatedly going to AP forum and trolling with negative posts about AP.

And yes, this includes bashing pieces with ETA movements as well:

Is there any real point in paying 4-8k or even more for ETA based watches?
