I tot for quartz movement, bulova is ahead with the sweeping hand quartz movement?

 

[Crexzz]

Bulova 262khz monster BUT with the same accuracy range as GS quartz movement. Definitely more pleasant to stare at. Longevity wise, unsure.


steering off topic:
imo, different people will have different reason for wanting a watch and there are so many aspect to a watch. ie, accuracy, brand , availability, design, type of movement, material used

And each of the above factor can be further branched into several other sub factor.... and each brand will always try to differentiate from others and point out the uniqueness of their story etc


so there'll always be people who prefer GS over Bulova and there will always be people who prefer Bulova over GS.


people will alway ask why this watch, there will always be a story to tell. Then there'll always be a story to counter....

Wear the Swatch sistem51 and one can have a really big story to tell

But in actual fact, one need no story to tell when one only need a reason to buy
