#18 I'll be honest I didn't know that your watch reset each night, that's pretty cool. I looked up Citizen and they make watches with the same functions (such as perpetual calender) as watches costing over $30,000 for $400-600. Also, I was wrong, a quartz watch has a day to day accuracy slightly higher than a high end mechanical watch such as a Rolex (this is why I like to argue, you learn stuff). I apologize for being such an ass but the point I was trying to make is that it's silly to compare this watch to your own because they serve very different purposes and I was sad to see so many people not recognize the insane engineering ability it takes to include functions such as an alarm and perpetual calender using a purely mechanical device rather than electronics. Think about how you would account for leap year and the different days in each month using only mechanical components. In addition details such as the hands moving to the new date in one motion at midnight rather than a slow constant movement are just as impressive of feats. Additionally I find the case to be a beautiful work of art and am alright with others being disgusted by it. If everyone had style like me then I wouldn't look so damn good.

Thank you for the welcome Jake. All opinions are either true or false, they simply depend on the criteria being used to make them. Everyone's opinion is true (unless you are lying), I was making the statement that the criteria people are using to evaluate the watch were wrong. I would say that the watch is more art as well as a showcase of the amazing mechanical prowess of the company making the watch. You are right the end product is not exactly something you would wear (however I would definitely wear it if I had one) but rather to display as art. As for helping others, I try to do that every day but I would still own this watch and drive a Pagani Zonda while doing so. There will always be people in need, 2.5 mil isn't going to solve shit. Additionally, you are absolutely correct in that I was being a dick, I was trying to be ;)

First off, I created an account just to make this comment. #2 This watch tells time with far more precision and accuracy than you citizen eco drive does, as well as provides many other features while not looking like dick.

Some of you find this watch to be ugly; that is your opinion to have. I'm just here to tell you that your opinion is wrong and that shit has more style than everything you will ever own put together.
