I did this, but luckily had a donor Seiko movement I could steal a balance assembly from! Now it’s running like a track star at +2 sec/day with a very healthy amplitude.

I remember looking at Christopher Ward when I first started getting really into watches 6 or so years ago because of the ‘value proposition’, but none of the designs really clicked with me (and still don’t).
I really admire Oris for their independence, history, and variety of designs, but haven’t found the ‘need’ for one in my collection.
But Nomos. Ah, Nomos. I’m not entirely sure when I first came across them but boy did they make an impression. I finally had a chance to see some in person and try a few on, and I’m pretty sure the next watch I but will be a 35mm Tangente. Just such subtle brilliance, and a dress watch that I can feel good about wearing in many other situations.
