Awesome Foster and I agree that it is a marvel in the watch world today and would love to get one this year!watch2.gifMy Buddy has one he brought back from Japan and the sweep is barely noticeable!hand6.gif
Well, I'm mostly interested in what guys like Ken and Eric think of them.
I know Ken is a big Seiko fan, but does the electronic regulation of the Spring Drive make it less attractive?
These movements are beautifully made and mostly mechanical, but they use a quartz crystal to regulate the energy stored in the mainspring.
Does that rob them of their soul?
(they have some seriously smooth sweeping second hands too)
