Even for a fake, Mito, that is fucking awful.
On the question of accuracy, Rich B is right (much though it pains me, on a philosophical level, to admit this...). Quartz for the win, and thermocompensated quartz for the ultimate win. I’ve timed a TC movement across a year, and found it gained fewer than seven seconds in 370-odd days. Absolutely incredible.

I honestly have an FW91 on a red and blue NATO

Surely computer FTW - although not all computers are made equal. My Apple Watch hasn’t lost or gained a millisecond in nearly 3 years. https://www.lifewire.com/apple-watch-th ... ece-156700 the bit about the crystal compensating for temperature is actually clever.
How about not having a sig at all?

20 year old Casio Wave Ceptor for teh accuracy win. Atomic clock updated via the radiowaves. The sweep hand matches what the talking clock says - always. Makes me feel warm and fuzzy insidePreacherCain wrote: ↑Wed Jul 25, 2018 8:59 pm Even for a fake, Mito, that is fucking awful.

The Evo forum really is a shadow of its former self. I remember when the internet was for the elite and now they seem to let any spastic on

Re: The Watches Thread
It’s good because the moulded strap was far too smooth where it met the watch - that one has some nice edges to catch which increases the chance of snagging it and breaking a spring bar massively. Perfect.

We don't really belong in this thread, do we.
Re: The Watches Thread
Do you drag it face down behind you everywhere you go?
I think we've established one clear (pun intended) benefit of expensive watches - scratchproof crystals!

Re: The Watches Thread
Can everyone else see Dave's Casio on a NATO? The pic doesn't show up on my PC or phone.
Re: The Watches Thread
Weird, I could see it when I commented earlier on but I can't now. Same computer, same browser window.
An absolute unit
Re: The Watches Thread
I can't see it any more either. On PC or phone.
Thank. Goodness.
