Han synes også at mene, at de aviser, tidsskrifter, osv, der ind i mellem har en ligegyldig side om ure, mere seriøst bør lave egentlige anmeldelser. Men det er lidt naivt; han ved jo formentlig udmærket, at de ligegyldige sider sælger. Der ville vist ikke være meget salg, hverken i ure eller aviser, hvis Berlingske hver fredag havde Kristian Haagen til at anmeldte et ur, hvorimod der netop er salg i både parfume, biler, og biografbilletter.

Ure er altså (desværre) nørdet eller rent show-off, som med det ukendte $$$ ur, han ikke kan lide.

Yes you have a good point there.And i cannot agree with everything he says.But he does come with many other good points.I think the reason he does not mention that watch,is because he also is to close to the industry.And it just would not do,if he was not invited to anymore watch dinners

Det har nu absolut intet at gøre med de gratis middage. De ville han ikke miste pga. at være kritisk om et bestemte ur.
Hvis de ville holde ham fra truget, var det pga. at man ikke turde bakke op en mand som var en utilregnelig og potentiel tilsviner af mærker / modeller / bestemte designs han ikke kunne lide. Og at være kritisk eller at gå totalt bersærk er alligevel to forskellige ting.
At bøje den fra ståltråd: Man ville stoppe middagsinvitationer ligeledes hvis han havde en vane at lave pruttelyder og obskøne tegn når et bestemt mærke eller ur blev nævnt. Hvis det alligevel skete, var det IMHO en tynd forklaring at han bagefter påstår at "jeg blev bortcensureret fordi jeg var kritisk".

Men når alt det nu er sagt, vil jeg straks anbefale at vi prøver at gætte os til det mærke / ur, Jack Forster så sublimt svinede til (det var meget underholdende skrevet !).
Vi har nogle konkrete fingerpeg så som overdreven maskulinitet, størrelsesforhold som er i ubalance og meget høj pris.
Ikke meget, men nok om at vi kan begynde at kaste med mudder.
Jeg begynder og vi kan hver komme med to gæt:
- Hublot Big Bang eller King Power i YG / WG / Platin og, hvis nogensinde lanceret, med diamanter
- Breitling Chrono Cockpit R/G m. diamanter på skiven og lynetten eller en af deres STORE dykkermodeller i guld (med diamanter hvis muligt)

That about the dinner was just a humor John,and a simple way to try to explain.I have a friend who wrote the bible on something called surfcasting,this is fishing from the beach.For the last 30-40 years every maker of fishing tackle have been trying to get this man to review or endorse their products.He as never and will never do it.He has said goodbye to millions,because he is not for sale.He is a very rare type of person,and i admire him a lot.
                                      Only truly independent critics give a really honest opinion.And i do not think there are many of them in the watch world.The opinions we read are all clouded,and i believe none of them 100%.Trying to read between the lines,can be the only way.JF is not independent in my opinion,and neither,are 99% of the others.We are all getting drawn into a world where we have to have a link to try to prove a point.But what is a link?It is of course mostly just an opinion,and it proves nothing.We have to try to analyse what we read,and then give an opinion.
                                            Most of the information on the net,is just surface info.And we have many who think that they can Google everything,and then put in a link to prove their story.I do it,you do it,we all bloody do it.We are all getting caught up in this Circus.There are not so many people who read books today,that can go deeper into subjects.When you talk to many of these people in real life,they seem lost without their I Pad or Google machine in their hands.
                                        My advice is to believe nothing 100%.Have the courage to have an opinion,and fight for the right to have it.Because no one has a monopoly on the truth.
