too high or too low?

My guess is that he thought it was too high.

Just realize that today's "Bulova" and "Accutron" bear no resemblance or lineage to those of the mid-20th century. They are just resurrected brand names by new rights owners.

I think that applies more to Hamilton.

Why is that? given that your very own sig claims "Form Follows Function"

Shouldnt the new ones be held in HIGHER regard as (again by your post) the new ones may have better materials and accuracy.. You know.. the function part...​

I think in this case, he believes that heritage plays an important role in his decision. Or really I think the better word is pedigree/craftsmanship, something that he feels that they lost in their transition to their current state.
