My SEGA Seiko 400/400
Recent Comments
I have a Tissot without hacking, and it's not the lack of to-the-second accuracy that bothers me, but trying to get the minute hand to hit the marker at 0 seconds. When I set the watch, I have to place the minute hand about 20 seconds ahead of the second hand. Then cross my fingers that the minute hand is aligned at 0 seconds.
I don't know how common that problem is with non-hacking watches, but it drives me nuts and is a blemish on an otherwise great watch.
I got a metiorite dial from Selten's Kickstarter. I love it, and the dial is fantastic. I bet the material looks even better when done by Omega.
Just keep in mind, metiorite isn't as rare as some people think. There are some fashion watch brands selling metiorite watches for staggering amounts claiming it's super rare. It's not (but darn if it isn't neat)!
I think the problem with applying "value" to a watch beyond anything concrete (MSRP for example) is that everyone has different opinions on what is truly valuable.
For example, I value quality over heritage and market demand. I would rather have a $350 Orient than a $350 Moonswatch. This is nothing against Moonswatches (I think they're pretty dope to be honest) but that watch doesn't align with what I value.
At the same time, I probably spent too much on a 60th anniversary SEGA Seiko because I've been a SEGA fan my whole life. That holds value to me as silly as it may sound to others.
The same could be applied to all traits such as market value, heritage, brand, county of manufacturing, who wore it, what movie it was in, case material, rarity, accuracy, movement type, and even the warranty. That makes it impossible to determine a definite "twice as good."
That's all I have to say, thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
