I'd consider this for $50 with a quartz caliber.

Why would you use a Sellita movement and then delete the seconds hand? Just use quartz and knock $600 off the price. No one would know the difference.

Good video thanks George. I don't mind the lack of a second hand as don't get so annoyed if watch not running accurately. I find a two hander easier to set as you don't need to wait for a second hand to go to zero to match phone time. Despite a decent movement you can pick a Hamilton Jazzmaster or Intra-Matic on the grey market below $500, they both have s similar movement with the ETA2892. I think they offer nicer dials and a date. I own the Jazzmaster Thinline and its one of the favourites in my collection

Hey there! Thanks again for the comment and support. Very true, there will always be other or better options, but like I said, I think this watch is aimed to a different audience that doesn't look at movements and always compares everything. My wife loves it and despite having other watches from me, she much prefers this because it works with everything! Thanks again

Without a second hand how do you tell how fast/slow it is running? I keep my watches in a watch box, not on a Timegrapher

Hey there, thanks for the comment and support. That's true, I don't have a timegrapher either, I use a phone app that listens to the ticks inside. But let's face it, how much more regulating does it need when it comes out of the box at +4 seconds per day. Thanks again for the comment.

599 😁😆🤣

$700

Hey there! thanks for the comment and support. The movement alone in those things is closer to 300 dollars. I do agree with you that it's a bit steep but I think we're so used to microbrans being on the cheaper end that we forget that these things cost money to produce!

Adding philosophy to a poor design...
