Is Miyota the best looking “budget” movement?

My Vaer has it. Ribbing pattern, nice little finish on the rotor, nicer than a Sellita/ETA IMO. Curious if anyone else knows if a movement that looks...

I was into this jlc watch a bit ago, but the price was way not worth it. JLC has been jacking up their prices very aggressively the past few years…and with little to show for it IMO.

Longines is the perfect antidote to that - same design, something that Longines used to actually do in the past (hence it’s not a homage) and for a small fraction of the price

Good point

Thanks for the details! And yeah, the strap alone is $550 USD, so it kinda sucks to get rid of it right away

Perhaps I can use it as leverage for a discount perhaps

Love the strap

Wow, interesting to hear about the co-axial.

If I were to get a Speedy, it’d def be an old non-co axial Hesalite sandwich.

I’ve actually been slightly less interested and impressed with GS since I made this post and thought about it more.

Oddly enough, top of my list now is a pistachio breitling premier. Yeah, they overdo the celeb endorsements, but I like the idea of a new mechanical chrono that isn’t “the moon watch” or have weird specs in their movements like 9SA5 that are mainly for marketing

GS owners - are they too nice to wear for things for everyday use? Like work from home in sweatpants and T shirt everyday lol?

Co-axial service interval > Omega non co-axial?

From what I understand of the physics of the co-axial movement, it should lengthen the time in between servicing a watch since there is less friction...
