Well all I can add at this point is, I AM A Sa3135 YM owner and I am by no means a noob. My YM is working great, keeps great time, feels and looks great and I had NO PROBLEM paying $400 for mine....I have spent more for a rep many times.
Whats great about RWI is there are 100's of years of expericance here, a thousand opinions and THAT my friends is what makes this and boards like this work. Once someone asks for opinions it's up to them to decide how to proceed. I did my due diligence before I pulled the trigger on mine and am 100% on board with the watches features and the 3135 movement. Yes, it still needs to pass muster amoungst us all but for me thats the fun.
I too kid around, talk trash at times and for ME, I have to take it all with a grain of salt because I am sure I am going to rub somebody the wrong way...but I just try to do "the next right thing"..thats all on me, not on you guys...
