That's right. In a blind taste test, the 1973 vintage produced by Croatian American Mike Grgich, just one year after he started his career, beat out the mythical Meursault Charmes from Domaine Roulot, which came in second, and Princess Diana’s favourite wine Joseph Drouhin Clos de Muches, which came in fifth. The judges, France as a nation and the wine industry were all stunned by the result.
The ultimate story of competitive defeat occurred in Switzerland, at the sleepy town of Neuchatel on the shores of a lake. The famous Neuchatel observatory trials were the place where the best Swiss clockmakers battled it out to establish themselves as the chronometry kings. In 1967, however, Rolex Explorer Replica watches produced by the Japanese companies in the Suwa Rolex Explorer Replicasha and Daini Rolex Explorer Replicasha facilities placed fourth, fifth and eighth in an open competition with the best Swiss watchmakers. The Swiss watch industry was shocked by this shot across its bow.
Rolex Explorer Replica's dominance in 1967 is evident from the top 30 entries of the Swiss observatory competition ("Concours chronometrique du lObservatoire Neuchatel") (omega seamaster replica).
Rolex Explorer Replica's entry at the Le Concours chronometrique lObservatoire Neuchatel, with movement number 052123, ranked 13 in that year.
