That might have been a relevant consideration in 1950. People send and receive wires via mobile phones from the remote corners of the jungle these days. You are far more likely to find someone willing to accept a wire than to find someone willing to take a Rolex. There are more Folex’s in circulation than real ones. People without expertise to authenticate won’t touch them in exchange for cash.
And Omega isn’t exactly unknown, lol.
The Monta bracelet is super overrated. They redid their clasp last year and yet it is still far too long and bulky.
Quick adjust is great, and it’s great that brands are looking into adopting it, but not when the clasp has a longer l2l and greater thickness than the watch does.
I don’t know what frequency they’re rewinding at, but I’m sure they let them wind down significantly to test that as well. My Omega AT performs within spec at 25% wind level, whereas my NHs are off the charts different when wound that low.
It’s important to remember COSC isn’t just +\- 4/6 spd dial up at 100% wind on a timegrapher, it’s within spec in a wide array of different conditions. Just because I can regulate a NH35 to 0 spd dial up fully wound on my time grapher, or +1 spd for my very specific office working day, does not mean it will perform the same in different conditions.
NHs are great workhorse movements, but they are not high end and do have significant variance in performance when you tweak use conditions even a tiny bit.
The NH35 would fail miserably. While you can decent performance out of it if you tune it exactly to your use case, it will never pass the positional variances and will fail to keep spec as it winds down in testing.
