https://www.shopathometv.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=29000091 https://www.shopathometv.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=29000128 I am looking into buying one of these but need some more info. One is a Seiko and the other an accutron. I am mainly interested in the movement of the Accutron. They said it was a quartz but I am not sure about how accutron goes about this so a little education on this would be helpful. The seiko I just would like to know the size. SAH does not give any info of this. Thanks, Scott Last edited on Fri Feb 29th, 2008 05:10 pm by scottran |

The Seiko is about 42mm without crown... maybe 45mm with the crown. DO NOT pay $199 for it!! I don't know the specifics on the Accutron but would bet at the very least it is Swiss quartz.

Scott, Pax is correct on the Seiko and i believe Overstock has them for less today with 10% off. The Accutron...I could not find any info on the type of Swiss chrono movement, but the dial layout lends itself to the G-10 which is a base albiet reliable chrono movement. Nice looking watch BTWhand6.gif

Thanks guys! I was going to pull the trigger on the Seiko since it was an auto last night but glad I didnt. Whew! Saving me cash again! I really like the looks of the Accutron, just was leery about the movement.

The Black Monster would be my choice over the Accutron as I believe any WIS' collection should contain at least one!yourock.gif

I would pick the Accutron any day. I have 2 of them, both with Valjoux and they don't miss a beat THAT MEANS SECOND per day. Excellent value and quality. perfect.gif

An excellent Valjoux chrono is the Gemini series. I think the Eagle Pilot is a quartz as is the Breckenridge model. A bit of research on Google or eBay will take you to some really good prices. Good luck on your search!
