What makes a watch run slow?

Perhaps a little more tact would be considerate?

Went back and edited. I thought it's a watch. You should know if it's running right or not. If it's running a second or two slow versus minutes slow.

In regards to Ferrari owners. I have a few friends who are fortunate enough to own Ferrari F430s and the old 360s. Some have no clue about what's under the hood or specs. But they darn know well when the car wouldn't engage reverse (happened on two of the 360s) or lost more than 50% of the engine's power (hapened on one of the F430s). I just felt some things are obvious.

My apologies. I'm probably PMS-ing. That darn Rolex tease on their website is too much for an old man to bear.

No worries! It just adds to the welcoming nature of the forum when people are magnanimous to others.

50% down on power in a Ferrari F430 is still over 240 HP!

I know the 'toll o'the tease' is quite hard to bear and I'm only 22! I spazzed out at Thani for talking about what the new models may be like...I regretted it later and apologized...felt better, too!
