I quite agree.

And TBH, none of these are fair comparisons. If I could get a 127 for the same price as the 372/422, which one would I pick ? 127 no doubt ..
372/422 is a lot more watch for the money and a lot more practical choice.
127 is a lot more legendary in the OP circles but would I spend 17-20K to get one ..

My thoughts echo along the lines of a 368/217 comparison ... a watch for yourself vs a watch for the community.
