Will, how do you reconcile that with the Lady Berkshire / Carla debate from last week, where Fifth made such a point of how any watch--not just variants--could have an entirely different ID based solely on the strap?
I have no problem with this watch as a Phantom. My point is, and will continue to be, that Fifth is not consistent in his own arguments. According to his theory--and the point he tried so hard to make in the Lady Berkshire / Carla thread--he has no basis for naming this watch anything at all. Without a matching ad, showing the same strap as the subject watch, this watch could be anything.
I have no doubt that you, and others on the panel, have more sense than to buy into that approach and will, consequently, agree that this watch is the Phantom, regardless of the strap that happens to be on it right now. I agree with that assessment and your logic, though I still think it would be beneficial to all to agree on specific standards for model IDs that could be consistently applied to all watches, regardless of who posts them.
