thanks for sharing, abang shahir. good article. nothing new for those of us who're seriously into our watch hobby, even for a few years.

in any case, the quest for accuracy in time tracking goes beyond vph. atomic clocks in this regard will outperform quartz.

there's also "equation of time" if we're really ocd about the need to take the slight wobble of planetary motion into consideration.

heck, if we really want to geek out, gravity also has an influence on the speed of light depending on where the observer is. and this has a material and measurable though minuscule impact on timekeeping devices.

which is why GPS satellite clocks correct for this phenomenon in order to provide accurate tracking functions.

I enjoy reading write ups concerning watches and I would like to share this with you (I'm sure most would know this already )

Here is an except..

"To put it very simply, when we talk about horology, we talk about two things: 1. the chase for perfection in timekeeping and 2. the art of watchmaking. The quest for "the best timekeeper" is really a matter of progress, science, technical advancement and some extremely clever engineering.
Therefore, if you wish to enhance your appreciation for that first side of horology – the quest for PRECISION AND ACCURACY, you should sell your Rolex and Patek and buy a Japanese HAQ [High Accuracy Quartz] watch. My personal recommendation: Citizen CTQ57 Chronomaster or Grand Seiko 9F series. You can walk around knowing you have one of the most accurate wrist watches that still contains mechanical parts.... "

Do anyone of you know where to get leather strap for MM300 locally? Those thick ammo or leather kind.

 

[furryballs]

End game liao. Same watch for next 50 yrs (if I can last that long)

Sales guy told me he maxed out discount. And receipt cannot print the model/serial number

 

[indigo22]

receipt cannot print model/serial num? so weird

 

[TeenTitan01]

Tried it before. Its nice. I thought got quite a few here talking about buying one. Where they all go lolz

imho, THIS is the 116000 OP to get. 36mm. all the explorer I vibes except with a more stunning blue sunburst dial. only the simple clasp is a letdown if your compare it to the sub's glidelock.

The whole point of a simple clasp is to break the price barrier.
And make it special to the submariner range.
U don't need glide lock on a dress watch.

Trash ah trash beat ah beat.

My SD has accumulated a healthy amount of scratches already.

accumulated from power lifting while wearing your SD to give it all the tool watch cred it deserves, right?

but seriously, have you see a pic of bro BallGag's PP calatrava? it's the most scratched up luxury watch i've ever seen! he really lives his life to the full with his calatrava! seeing his scratched up white gold case also heart pain.

It's better to have it written. Not as if it's needed.
But still. How many percent and what model?
