      That's cheating. It taps into the atomic clocks used by the GPS system!

            I thought that the Spring Drives were a bit worse than quartz movements, something like a couple of seconds a week, rather than per month.

            I appreciate the Grand Seiko quartz watches for their insane accuracy. I'm a little tempted by this one.

              I guess you know that because you use your other one to check the accuracy of that one….

                That's what @Tempvs uses @madmonday's Timex for. 😉

                  I'd like to see how the Bulgari wears. It's quite a bit watch, but I'm used to wearing a 44 mm piece on a daily basis, so it might not be a problem.

                  aBlogToWatch has a piece up about Bremont. @GingerMagician might be interested in reading it.

                  http://www.ablogtowatch.com/inside-bremonts-british-world-watch-making/

                  Thanks for the heads-up, @Graeme - will take a look.

                  I'm not a hugely invested in the Bremont brand per se (though they do make very good watches that are decent value if picked up second hand), it's just that the two I own were the incumbents when I got tired of the constant flipping! 😄

                      If anyone's interested in avant garde haute horologie, Bulgari still have a few examples of the Gefica in stock.

                      It comes in two models, the Bi-Retro (on the left), which has a retrograde calendar, and the moonphase / GMT (on the right), which I discussed in the previous post.

                      Both have a 47mm bronze case, 100 metres water resistance, and a crocodile strap.

                      The local Bulgari boutique is offering a 15% discount on these without even asking. Given they're a discontinued model for around 2010 or 2011, and obviously didn't sell well (the Bi-Retro was a limited edition of 199), I think that there's scope for them to be a bit lot more generous. 😉

                      The original Gérald Genta editions of the watch were more adventurous with colour, and there's an Art Deco charm to the numbers. I like the white version, and there's one for sale on Chrono24 at the moment.

                              Can anyone tell me if Sinn watches have sales of any description (maybe in January)?

                                  Thanks Rocket mate. Haven't been able to shake the Sinn thing since you introduced me to the make a few years back! I'm thinking of a 104 St Sa I.
                                  Didn't think they would have any sales to be honest. Thanks for the info on price hikes though. A dealer near me told me they'd be going up again in January. August gives me enough time to save 🙂
