The funny thing is I just got a watch that has a SW200 Movement. Chalk that one up to one of those life experiences, I guess I will have to shut up now. +1 on that hacking feature hand6.gif

1st of all only Seiko&Orient don't hack in their lower end models but the higher end models do and Miyotas are now hackable in certain watches.... Seagull being the largest movement manufacturer in the world has hacking movements and made in Japanwatch2.gifI have many Asian engined watches that run great even though Swiss is my 1st choice and dominate my collection.I have been collecting movements for the past couple years and have found many(asians) that are comparable to eta just not Swiss madehand6.gif....btw just because a watch is quartz does not mean it is accurate....not by far as most are just cheap and "heartless" as Ken would say(epecially when the battery is ready to crap out... personally I wouldn't pay $1600.& up for a high end quartz when it could be a Swiss ETA or something along a nice automatic!...so I guess what I am trying to say is you get what you pay for...:Djust my 2 cents

Neither would I! I've never bought a watch for $1600... my most expensive quartz (a thermocompensated Longines VHP Perpetual Calendar -- as good as it gets and made by ETA too!) cost me $625 new from a jeweler. (I'm a good shopper -- it comes from my Swiss background. :D) It's just my opinion but no mechanical offers such bang for the buck. (It's even rated to 200m but still looks nice enough to wear with a tux!) But I admit, in the final analysis, we are dealing with taste. To me fine quartz tastes just as good as fine mechanical. I realize that's not true for everybody.

(Some of their SuperQuartzs are the same movement as in the Longines.) Tribe was off tonight... felt like I didn't have anything to do!

My latest baby, the Ocean7 LM-2 has the Sellita 200 in it. I have had it on since I received it Wed. morning. So far after 48 hours, +3 seconds. Hope it stays on that track. hand6.gif

Does it have hacking seconds, and does it have the quickset Date? Scuba Steve wrote: My latest baby, the Ocean7 LM-2 has the Sellita 200 in it. I have had it on since I received it Wed. morning.
