Snark aside, how do you feel about the Citizen movements? Aren't they all just miyotas?
@addicted_to_watches11 күн бұрын
While I'm contractually obligated to say they are the best movements ever made, they seem fine to me. They are miyotas in that Citizen own miyota. No different to Tudor and kenissi. They tend to have higher beat rates than Seiko but the rotor wobble is what people complain about since it only winds in one direction and spins freely in the other
@jerryglasses222912 күн бұрын
Porcelain dials can only be appreciated in person. My AD had one and they are really stunning. A lot of people say that's too much for a Seiko but that watch would be 50% to 100% more if Longines or Omega was on the dial. People keep knocking Seiko for price hikes but their higher end stuff still is a good value compared to Swiss brands

I dislike Grand Seiko comparisons which are not accurate. That’s a nice dial but not GS caliber. It’s super common to make this sort of claim, and while I’m not a GS fanboy, I do own one and can confidently say that even at 10-15k you rarely see competition for the dial and the dial furniture. This watch is a Presage competitor.

The date frame looks ok to me. The date wheel seems to have some kind of mark/texture though. I'm guessing it's intentional and possibly some kind of paper texture/material similar to their washi dials on "the citizen" models

You would have thought that it was obvious, if you cannot colour-match the date window then do not have a date on such a watch. Finally, JDM products just piss me off and turn me against the company concerned. If I am paying big money then I do not want any hassles if I need servicing or a warranty claim.
