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)
