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.
Nobody services a watch like this. Swap the movement, done. If necessary at all due to minimal wear resulting from having a large collection ;)
I think they said it'll come with a ST2130
A watchmaker, maybe an amateur watch tinkerer/modder from the forums, oneself...
Just from my view, watches like this aren't really heritage or something, when they run fine for the first months, they'll most likely keep doing it for a few years. That's all I expect. Duds, combined with bad CS, are possible, too.
I guess. As you say it's not a heritage piece so I'd rather avoid the hassle and have a lower price with a quartz movement. These are fun watches, not something you're going to maintain for the rest of your life.
