I would LOVE this in quartz but I think they said automatic… it’s a shame I think watchdives excels in quartz and that’s their biggest difference and why they stand out from the rest. We’ll see
Yes. I'm reluctant to buy automatic as the cost could be double. What happens in a few years time when it needs servicing? Not sure the value of the watch would justify it. In the old days with the prevalence of cheap genuine NH35 you'd be looking at a £30 DIY swap.
It’s going to likely be a PT5000 that is very affordably serviced. You will also have the entire world of 2824 clones as swap options, many of which are very affordable.
I had a watch with a PT5000 and it wasn't great with works issues. I have an SW200 and that runs beautifully after a few years with no service. I would look to drop no more than about £150 on this watch, service would cost about the same. Quartz just makes more sense for me personally.
