i would get a nikon d4s.

Oops, forgottten about you the Everdying. hahahah

Choose between that Rolex and Leica+Lens only la.

Off course if im gonna use it for wedding job, i,ll get D4 and earn money for Rolex. hahahaha

pana-leica can or not? then got enough money left over still for a pre-owned rolex

You got a point there but, are these automatic watches, at least normal, to be faster by 30 secs per day? I think that's too much for a reliable company like Seiko, no?


I hope that inspection doesn't mean have to pop the back case up? Sigh. I think I'm very unlucky.

I am very annoyed by it. Even if I have to send it back and never get it back I can do it. I just hate the watch so much now.

Anyway to like de-magnetize it?

Is it normal for a automatic to go faster by 5 mins is a week? Meaning I have to reset the time every often week? I have literally no experience in automatic watches at all.

What about those expensive watches? Do they guarantee accuracy of +-5-10secs per year or something?

Rolex for sure. Everything digital.. even leica turns to an outdated paperweight in a couple short years.

seiko 7s26 is rated to -35/+45 per day.
so yes, 30secs per day is perfectly normal.

noted avantasia... thanks

any other recommendations ?

Expensive watch COSC will not be spec to 5-10 secs a year. Please see page 1 post 1 on COSC spec.

there might be better ones out there but the best auto i've personally seen so far on paper is the GS with +-15sec per month

GS only spring drive not the mechanicals

i always thought spring drive is Seiko's term for mechanical

need to read up on it then, thanks bro

Frankly speaking, right now, the prices of Rolex - used pieces is on the high end side, not talking about special or limited ediiton ones, just the normal mass marketed ones.

As for Leica+Summicron lens.. the body is definitely not worth it, but the glass yes. The moment the glass is discontinued, the prices will go up, provided its a good lens to begin with. You can see today that older, examples of good discontinued Zeiss and Leica lens still fetch a high price with hot demand.

New Rolex will always be technically more advanced than the older ones e.g. cerachrom bezel, newer movements are introduced into existing lines as time goes by.

Choosing between these 2 is drastically different. If you took 100000 pictures with the lens, then definitely it is more worthwhile than the Rolex. If you took pictures of your baby growing up and that fast prime lens made the difference between capturing the moment and missing it, then yes, the lens is more worthwhile.

So in the end, it depends on you. I would get the Rolex because I don't take that much pictures anyway.

Do read up, spring drive is a hybrid. In short Quartz regulated but mechanically powered

but from the comparison on their website... its similar to normal mechanical watches except for the escapement

if its semi quartz/mechanical... then its more similar to Tag's Calibre S electromechanical movement?

Not all semi quartz / mech is same as tag.
Spring drive do make use of a quartz escapement

Hi,

I am stuck between Omega Constellation Co-Axial 38MM Day-Date steel on steel and rose gold on steel. Anybody here wearing one of these?

digging deeper... this Spring Drive is quartz (regulator) without a battery... very interesting... the Tag does have a battery...

I see. Thank you.

Time to save up for a better watch then.

What do you think of Maurice's movements? Are they accurate?

I just saw a Maurice Les Classique Chronographe in the Garage sales going for RM5k. Within my budget. I think I'd like to get it.

Noted. TQ.

Anyways guys, thanks for your input. Think I'll just have to reset it every week. Only concern now is the gasket, and maybe should just give it a regulation.

ML previously uses ETA movements, now maybe replaced with Sellita...
ML inhouse only a few... and usually cost 5 digits... forgot what model i saw at their MV roadshow last year... RM13k after discount

Rolex bro.
