I'm glad to see that you're not being anal about this at all, JJ

Well my thoughts are that the Chronometer Certified is all thats needed and that on some of the watches such as the SD and Daytona, there is way too much writing with the words Superlative and Officially on those pieces. My GMT2 and Datejust are fine to me.

I think it must be like this:


ROLEX
Oyster Perpetual
(that’s an automatic to you
numbskulls)

SEA-DWELLER
4000ft=1220m
Superlative Chronometer
After having undergone testing
in 15 different positions
in some stuffy laboratory

Officially Certified
by a dork in a lab coat
who cares anyway?


Swiss Made
Could have been made in
Helvetica but no one knows
what that is.
