Teddy, would you consider commenting in a future video about if hacking lever mechanism affects the balance or not? Sometimes very expensive watches don't have hacking mechanism, so I wonder if it is a decision based on the longevity of the watch balance wheel or if it is because of another reason. And it would be interesting to know if there are another types of hacking mechanisms that does not involve a lever touching the balance wheel to get the same feature of hacking. I think this side of this feature is sometimes forgotten.

Re: Elapsed time bezels. For me, and possibly for many others who are not professional divers, a countdown bezel would be much more useful. I know a few watches use those, but I wish it were a common option.

I always learn something from your educational videos. A topic of interest to the majority of collectors and enthusiasts is accuracy: what should we expect from a given caliber, and what are the factors that manufacturers can control to improve it? What's COSC? What's a "chronometer" (superlative or otherwise😏)? I have a GS quartz that is good to one second every six months, which seems miraculous, and I wonder how exactly they pull it off.

Just another tip on using the timing bezel. The large lumed marker (usually at 12 o’clock by default) is used to indicate the end of the duration, not the start of it. It’s large since knowing deadline is more important.

A worthwhile addition to the diving bezel segment would have been why they only rotate one way.

@TeddyBaldassarre Жыл бұрын

Good call. It is a never-ending hole you can keep going down. Just to address it for those interested... Before diving computers, this tracking of time was needed as it could lead to dangerous consequences underwater. By rotating only one way it lessened the chances of the bezel getting knocked and showing the incorrect elapsed time. This concept of preventing this undesired bezel movement lead to other developments such as elapsed time bezels that need to be pressed down first before rotating and the compressor style that has an internal bezel that required a crown on the side of the case to be turned in order for the bezel to move.

Great vid Teddy! If a future one is done, maybe explain how hand winding your automatic watch can be dangerous, especially with the SW200-1, which ratchet wheel is easily sheared/stripped. I have 2 watches with SW200-1 both with ratchet wheel issues within the 1st year and 1/2 of purchasing the watches new.

I don't believe that freesprung balances lead to greater accuracy in practice. In fact, they are older technology really. Also, a microregulator allows the user to easily regulate the watch on the wrist, whereas a freesprung balance will need a watchmaker to regulate it. The most accurate watches are those that are regulated by the user to suit his or her own activity modes and levels.

Not really true. Free Sprung balances can be precisely adjusted by machine with no human intervention. Basically a laser is used to permanently remove a bit of material on the balance as the watch is being regulated. So, not it need not be more difficult or laborious to adjust.
