Your argument is mute. I guess the Glashutte timepieces helped with timeing attacks, etc. The Porsches got the Generals and soldiers, etc from point A to point B etc. It's all irrelevant, move on

Not to get way off topic, but F. Porsche designed tanks among other things. So if you won't buy a watch because that brand supplied pilots watches during the war, why is a car by a company that designed tanks ok?

BTW, I own Porsche's so I'm not against anyone having them. But if you don't want to support a company that ever helped the Nazi's I'd avoid any German company that was in business in the 30's and 40's.

Still don't understand why we don't mold Brock this season instead of using Sullivan. Sullivan has no accuracy...

Also don't understand why we don't utilize Bass... kid is a runner, and with no playing time the only place this kid will be running is to a different program...

THREAD JACK.. sorry.
Couldn't agree more.

Glad to hear your making the LONG trip to the desert for the SC game. As you know, weather should be great compred to Jersey that time of year! We went to the UGA game a couple weeks back and had a blast! Anyways, it's really cool hearing from fellow Devils!

I didn't know that. Thanks for the education. I'll keep this in mind for sure since I don't know how I feel about it. Kinda rubs me the wrong way too, but on the other hand it's not the same company it was decades ago, nor the same people.

To everyone who has commented on this brand of watch, I really appreciate your feedback. It appears everyone thinks highly of their quality and workmanship. I've decided that I'll pick one of the Sport Evolution Impact models if the right deal comes along. If I do, I'll try and post a pic. Thanks again all and cheers to my fellow ASU alumni!

I know Bell & Ross is not considered horology at it's finest but I happen to love the BR 02-94.

Glashutte makes some incredible dress watches. Some of their movements are just amazing.
