Qualität von Rolex Werken wirklich so schlecht?

Bericht zum Kaliber 3000?

Explorer I 14270
Sehr interessante Lektüre. Vor allem der Schluß des Statements von Richard Paige über den Artikel von Walt Odets:

"...Then the weirdest thing happened. I got an email from Rolex headquarters, asking me for Walt’s home address. Rolex is super paranoid about their branding image, and it seemed highly likely to me that they might actually go after Walt.
Now things began to border on the theater of the absurd. If a movie critic panned a movie, does the director go after the critic? Of course not. I didn’t even answer Rolex’s email.

Ironically, after time, Walt began to review a more eclectic array of watches, and after reviewing enough of these “me too” watches, he admitted that Rolex was a good value for the money. Go Figure."


Dem ist wohl nichts mehr hinzuzufügen.
