    Have to say.............I have owned a Cartier Pasha Automatic, from new, for nearly 20 years, worn as a work-a-day watch........ unfailingly accurate, surprisingly rugged, and classically stylish

    Not crazy about their watches, but I liked the ad. I need to find a watchmaker who can do that.

    Yes, because you said a lifetime's worth of Cartier comments a couple years ago. :D

    VW Group manufactures power units for Lamborghini, & Bentley.........BMW supplies engines for Rolls Royce, & Maclaren.

    Would that be the same ETA ......albeit 'blinged up'...........in Omega calibres 1108, 1109, 1120, 1128, 2500, 1138, 1141,1152, 1154. et al


    Not to mention the Lemania antecedence 2310 /1873 of the Calibres 321 & 861.

    Let's not even open the 'box of frogs' that is Breitling.

    Whatever our Ancestors................it is who we are now, that matters.

    Just by way of correction, the McLaren engines are designed and made by Ricardo. The BMW engines were used in the F1 back in the 90s and after that there was the Mercedes partnership with the engines used in the McMercs.

    What makes you think I'm saying anything negative about ETA? I like their calibers!

    Let's remember folks, it is all about the design.

    The design in regards to a tank is bar none. Why would you ever put plastic in any of them

    Masturbatory commercials like this are why our watches are so gosh darn expensive! Think about how much those effects must've cost!
