VERY bad. You’ll usually get stuff like +12 and -9, with a delta of 50s in most cases. They pretty much never regulate their movements unless they’re 6R or better, and even then you’re getting worse accuracy than most cheap replica watches.
9/10 customers do it for status, usually because of a name brand and bling. 1/10 do it to gasp at little mechanical marvels.
Browse AliExpress, you’re gonna get much better fit, finish and regulation compared to mass produced brands like Seiko. It’s also gonna be easier to avoid pressed, hollow bracelets and mineral glass, since even a €60 watch on AliExpress will have solid end links, milled clasp, AR sapphire, screw down crown, 200m WR and proper finishing. Here’s a €250 watch for example:
I cannot stand service part haters. “Oh bUt Da dIaL iSnT OrIgINaL!” Yeah yeah, how about YOU go fetch some radium and tritium cancer, and how about YOU go fishing for radium or tritium between the cogs of a well kept movement, you absolute fool!
They’re beautiful, I pick the GMT because the Seamaster only fits wrists over 7 inches and mine’s not that thick.
Oh man, Ive always loved the Accutron Alpha II. Sick sweep on the seconds hand.
It’s 38.5 x 46 x 13.8
On the fly push-button clasp, NH34, ±4s a day on average. Love it!
SN0112G, but they no longer produce it with a ceramic timing bezel. The 24h scale is fixed, so the ceramic rotates around it. San Martin made a mistake so it’s a 24 click bidirectional timing bezel, but I kid you not it feels exactly like that on luxury GMT watches I won’t name.
You can now get it with an all steel timing bezel, or two ceramic options; world time cities or 24h.
Thanks, it’s exactly why I picked it. I like the older Explorer 2’s dial with the red GMT hand, but I love fidgeting with a diving bezel, so I got the best of both worlds, at 38mm too.
This guy. Build quality is through the roof, and there isn’t a single rattle or bit of play to be found. I sometimes alternate with a VK63 Pagani Design chronograph since I’m sure that thing is unbreakable, but this San Martin lives on my wrist 5 days a week.
Someone doesn’t love you… /s
This is the only right answer. Nobody in their right mind would risk introducing particles to an expensive movement, especially dust and fine, hard particles that can cause irreversible damage to its parts. The only real red flag I see is the condition of that bezel insert.
The one that doesn’t pretend to use an in-house movement.
Low blows aside, Hanhart easily. That Tudor along with the bund strap wouldn’t slip under a sect tunic sleeve at like 17mm thick, without mentioning the lackluster finishing and overpriced nature of Tudor watches.
