Watches - another OCD problem
-
Anyone know why diving watches are typically made with mechanical (automatic) movements rather than quartz? Automatics aren't more accurate and I'm always resetting day/date/time etc when I switch watches.
(I've been looking at the new Seiko turtle SRP777 - a reissue of the old discontinued 6309 turtle.)
-
I wouldn't say that they're more frequently made with auto movements. I think that watch forums and watch geeks generally dislike quartz movements, however. As a result, what you see discussed online is disproportionately auto-centric.

@Anesthetist, Vacheron have done a 37mm version of the Overseas. I figured it would appeal to you if they hadn't slathered it with diamonds. :o
It retains the antimagnetic case and 150m water resistance of its bigger sibling. A bling-free version would be very tempting.
The picture's from Hodinkee's best women's watches at SIHH. Unfortunately they're not in @Qinhan's price bracket, so I can't help him there.

Why must anything less than 38mm be all of a sudden a woman's watch. My God did they ever ruin that. To be honest, on occasion I even wear a Tudor Mini-Sub which is only ~33mm and I don't feel any less of a man.

Old Heuer 1000 I've had for a few years

That one looks well loved. We rarely see watches around here with mileage on them. I like it.

It may not look like it but my GMT Master II has 25 years of mileage on it
