Difference in perception, I guess. I have never felt deCadenet to be particularly snobbish about Euro cars, and in fact his comments at the B-J were typically very complimentary to the level of workmanship shown on the hot rods and customs he reviewed. If he was a little more fulsome in his praise of, say, an XK120 Jag than perhaps might be warranted, they are after all "his" cars.
In any event, he authoritatively answered the question about the watch, so full marks to him for that.
