There are CSAC (Chip Scale Atomic Clock) models that are smaller but (far) more expensive :)

There are quite a number of reports at WUS HAQ - generally the 5 seconds/year models from Citizen and Seiko are considered to be the top level of self-accuracy still in production. There was a...
Here is something a lot more realistic:

My Exceed E510 watches claim to last 4 years in the dark :)
And my 8F calibers last about 10 years with a new battery.
That is what I call decent power reserve :P :P :P
That is also pretty much bullshit - first since the only watches that have any clue about true solar time are watches that display the equation of time, and second since from sidereal time or atomic...
The claim for accuracy is basically fictitious - a correct claim would have been that the watch has a gear ratio that is the closer to the average moon length from all mechanical watches - however...
Yes, I am afraid that is the root of the problem :roll:
This is a recent post that I saw today:

Those are excellent watches (especially for Europe :P ) My only complaint would be the "trendy size" - a little on the big side for me :roll:
This looks very interesting. Am reading your WUS messages now. Very impressive![/quote]
Thank you - I hope that some day all that experience will go into one or more (decently-priced) High-End...
Yeah, I feel your pain - 30+ changed today, just one that was smart enough to do it on its own (and it was not radio - one of those got the signal but it was before the actual DST change, so in the...
Yeah, had to set 30+ watches today :roll: :roll: :roll:
One radio watch got a sync during the night but it was before the DST change so it was still wrong in the morning - I will give it a...
And to add to that a few details - IMHO the retirement of the Double Eagle Perpetual Calendar was a very stupid (marketing) decision for Omega :roll:
Those calibers were however coming from a...
Congratulations - a very nice addition indeed!
But I wonder why the "worn-out edges" - definitely that part should see no mechanical wear ?! :?: However it could be a "design thing" :roll:
I am generally a strong believer in the original definition of HEQ from:

Very interesting - the best info that I could find for non-German speakers is so far:

The quality is good for the price :lol: (but the prices are getting crazy in the last years). It is also my only watch that does not have a brand-name on the face/dial 8)
I would say (just) a...
The dial (at least in my watch) is not that 'striking' as it looks in the pictures - my photo for instance was 'flash-pushed' (and I tried at quite a few angles) as to show max detail from dial, but...
Since today is the spring Equinox I am wearing my titanium Astrodea - the photo of my watch is here but below you can see some info on those!

Definitely ask for the discount (and don't be afraid to start asking 20-30% to 'settle' at 10%) - buying two watches should automatically be a reason for discount!
Dressy is very relative - and generally a purist will never consider a watch with a rotating bezel as 'dressy' (even - or especially :P - if it is a Rolex).
That being said an interesting diver...
Very nice - now I want one more and more :roll:
Pretty ready here - all digital and about 5 of my analog PC will switch at 00:00 but my four 8F calibers, two of the old Citizen complications, a cheap Timex with Indiglo and the Longines Conquest...
Spectacular collection - I was looking after one of those for some time, but recently I never saw any MR-G model at a very decent price :roll:
