Apologies if already shown but I couldn't trawl through all posts.

I agree that the 'kept in the dark' bit is wrong but it was the first pg phrase that i could think of to express my thoughts.

Greg, with the greatest of respect, it might be an idea for you to attend these preview meetings directly in future, so you can hear exactly what Mike says. Some of his statements lose some nuance when they are relayed later on and can then provoke a reaction they don't deserve.

My take on his comments on the bracelet were that they listened to criticism of Aquitaine bracelet, worked hard with their suppliers to come up with an improved solution and insisted on some high quality tolerances to do this. They looked at what Rolex and Tudor do and, in his opinion, the solution they have come up with is inspired by what Rolex do but not quite up to their quality threshold, but that it is ahead of what Tudor do - in his opinion, as I say. But this is based on knowing the suppliers who provide bracelets for Rolex and Tudor - they are different and working to different quality thresholds.

In the end, it's his opinion and it's a subjective claim - and we should expect him to be a little "sunny-side up" on this as the CEO. But he did at least explain the rationale for his view.

300 vs 600 - Is a £65 difference sufficient for somebody to choose the 300 over the existing 600?

He didn't specify, but implied; Rolex.

Do all those brands you've listed use screwed pins for the bracelets?

Are you sure about Rolex? I thought they bought Gay Frères so they could bring bracelet manufacturing in-house.
