MrSalmon - MemberI think this thread gives some small insight into what people who aren't into bikes might think when they meet people who really appreciate them
Are you saying we are anal? 😆
CountZero - MemberEeek! Just did a quick Google and found this:
Jackpot?
Could be, mine's in much better condition, for a start. Wouldn't sell it, I've had it from new, it was my first 'grown-up' watch, but it's gratifying to know that it has appreciated in value a bit.
I'm now reviewing my 'wear it to work watch' policy as regards the Yema, it'll be the G-Shock from now on.
For accuracy you can't beat high end Quartz. Seiko 8f movements weren't expensive but are accurate to a couple of seconds a year. Add perpetual calendar so no messing there. On some the hour hand moves independently so you don't mess the minutes/seconds when changing time zone or daylight saving. 10 year battery as well.
This was the one I wanted but missed the boat - http://forums.watchuseek.com/f67/detailed-review-seiko-sbqj015-high-end-quartz-8f56-236270.html
Any half decent auto watch can be calibrated to run within +2 -1 seconds a day by a good watch make
Well, that's significantly more accurate than COSC standards, and only 3% of Swiss watch production is COSC-certified...

@lotto - let me know which Rolex Explorer you have. I'm not sure I could get it past the other half, but I could be tempted if you decide to sell...

CFH that Schwarz is just beautiful. The fact there's clearly a significant story just adds to it, thank you for sharing!
