Bernard Cheong

Non-notable individual lacking GHits and GNEWS of substance. Appears to fail WP:BIO.  ttonyb (talk) 04:17, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

Dernard Cheong is a highly valued member of the haute horlogerie and is renowned throughout the world as a leading and independent voice within the watch collectors community so much so that novice collectors as well as watch manufactures follow his opinion. Bernard is also the first Asia to have been give the honor of inclusion at the haute horlogerie. He is the only none industry person to have been included.

To say the he is a person no of note is just wrong, he is more influential and important than a lot of so called stars that have been included. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kryptonite2010 (talk • contribs) 04:38, 1 March 2011 (UTC) He is notable.Cullen328 (talk) 05:45, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
