what makes greddy gauges or all these other JDM gauges better?

I know autometer has been around for at least 20 years, i dont think greddy has been around that long.

I know a guy on here that had an old set of autometer gauges. he didnt want to buy a new set, so he sent them back to autometer, where they repainted and fixed them for him....THATS BAD ASS! i dont know any other company that will do that!

Is there something about them that makes those others better?
