...... Nobody needs more accuracy than Rolex offers, to say it is among the worst at time keeping is crazy. Timex is the Ruger of watches.
Now your simply being foolish. Who are you to judge others "needs"?
FACT: A $15 Timex is more accurate, rugged, and dependable than a $15K Rolex. Deal with it. You can try to spin that any way you want. But it doesn't change anything. In today's world, a Rolex movement is a dinosaur in a shiny case. Much like the "new" Python. Very blingy, but doesn't work very well.
Look, if you want to tell me you bought a Rolex to show off, and impress people with your "success", I can go along with that. I think it's stupid, because I'm not that vain. But if it makes you feel better about yourself, I can accept it. But don't sit there, and expect anyone to believe you bought it for it's "accuracy". That's just plain ludicrous.
You haven't handled a new Python any more than you've used a Rolex.
You are correct. Both are overpriced for what they are. And neither of them work as well as similar products that cost less, are far more accurate, and last longer. So why would I be foolish enough to waste my time and money screwing with either?
As far as this "new" Python. Perhaps in the near future they'll straighten out it's present issues. I sure hope so. The gun buying public deserves a lot better for $1,500.00. And if it doesn't take off, I suspect the street price on these things will come down fast.
Few shooters are going to pay that when there are better mass produced, double action revolvers out there at half that price. It's called competition. And it's the law of the business world. And it's certainly no deep dark secret that Colt has had more than it's share of problems in that department.
They would have a hard time making money if the government loaned them the printing press, paper, and ink. Let's hope that changes, or I suspect this "new" Python isn't going to be around long enough to matter either way. Their "new" Cobra isn't exactly selling like hotcakes. I'm already seeing it heavily discounted.
Their AR-15's are already history. I wonder how long it will be before they realize that mistake, and "reintroduce" them, like they are most everything else they quit making?
