I'm just wondering why fifth gets a 3 star rating on A-11 watches with crap/corrosion/pitting vs my A-11 in very good condition rates gets 2 stars. Are fifth's A-11s more authentic than mine or what? Even after proving it''s authenticity with facts from the specification!

Hey Fifth those are your suspicions! Did you not comment about red crap on one of your watches A11 watches?

Spout! You have done nothing but try to shoot my silver alloyed cased A11 down since I posted it. I have done nothing but counter your diatribe with nothing but fact. You fail to face those facts.
