Thank you! Yes, it is a VERY difficult book to find. I completely agree that the set would be over the moon. Cheers.
I would say they're rubbish. Rolex just doesn't like to drift outside the lines of their line-up. Rolex customers like that line-up. I too wish they would be a little more creative. I love Omega also, but they've beaten the Seamaster and Speedmaster to death.
I asked this question to spark conversation. I LOVE watches and collecting and I too let personal bias get in the way before truly stepped back from it all. If we're honest, it has peaked....for now. It takes US all of US to push manufacturers and to be more accepting of newer designs. Though not always our cup of tea we must try to help the industry grow. If not it will die. We will be left with soulless disposable smart watches. So get out their and explore and start asking for changes If we're honest, if someone came out with a truly perpetual movement, but if it ran +/- 20 seconds per day and wasn't hackable people would shout from the rooftops that it was pure junk or it could have been better if this or if that. Instead of the absolute miracle it would be. Because honestly 1 minute or less per day is completely acceptable and hacking is useless on an automatic movement. It is this reason I beg everyone to seek out the strange, weird and innovative and encourage it.
Don't get me wrong I love the spring drive. But it combined 2 existing technologies. Much like Toyota did with the Prius.
Not really a new innovation. Quartz existed as did automatics. Seiko just used that Quartz tech to regulate the automatic movement.
