>>18687815Seiko is better at what? Being overpriced and chintzy with the good parts? FUCK Seiko. I'll never buy another new one for as long as I live.I'm convinced there are only a small handful of serious posters here. Everything else is trolling and nonsense.
>>18688173>Seiko is better at what?At keeping time. The Swiss and French literally shutdown their chronmetry competitions because Seiko was going to win.
SEIKO JAPAN BEST CRAFTSMANSHIP
>>18688182Oh, accuracy? Not even close to the fifth thing I consider when buying watches. But a lot of what I buy comes with Seiko movements that Seiko only reserves for their spendier in-house watches, so I guess I'm glad they keep time so well.Again, fuck Seiko.
>>18688254>a lot of what I buy comes with Seiko movements that Seiko only reserves for their spendier in-house watchesCome again?
>>18688182That's the silliest shit I have ever heard. 10/10 got me to reply.
>>18688671>After Seiko’s victories in 1968, the Geneva observatory then cancelled its contests in 1968, ending the long tradition of Swiss observatory timing trials.https://watchesbysjx.com/2013/06/explaining-seikos-legendary-history-in-swiss-chronometer-trials-with-live-pictures-of-its-landmark-astronomical-observatory-chronometer.htmlCOPE
>>18688674Why are they so bad at keeping time now?
>>18686394Oh look, another sw200
>>18688685They're not?
I LOVE SEIKO
>>18689820I wonder why your wife left you?
>>18689820Yeah I am asking YOU FUCKING SPERG
>>18690314No, he's right. If you were asking you would have said "they are?" But you said they aren't, contradicting his claim, which is a statement, not a question.
>>18691481>Using a question mark at the end of a declarative statement (a statement with a question mark) is primarily used to express surprise, disbelief, or to turn a statement into an interrogative request for confirmation (e.g., "You're actually going?"). It signals rising intonation, indicating a question without strict inverted sentence structure. >GrammarlyFUCKING SPERG
>>18688671The swiss chronometry contests were a shitshow>want to make it all about muh traditional mechanical chronometers>don't state as much in the terms of entry and competition so you'd still get a lot of (paid) entrants>Rolex fails to meet the demands a few times, they shit themselves in rage and stop applying and create their own "superlative chronometry" standard that is actually worse (has been revised a bunch of time since, now more strict than COSC)>"see, this is proof that chronometry is very demanding and not everyone can meet the demands">suddenly, japanese factories become very efficient and can outperform your domestic pieces>re-write the rules to exclude them>suddenly, electrical and then quartz chronometers become more efficient too>Omega is trying to present a quartz watch in the marine chronometry contest>re-re-write the rules so only chronometers built in Geneva can apply and exclude Omega that way
>>18689120Their regular mechanical movements are rated at -15 to +20 ?
>>18694927Mass produced you can tune them
>>18694927I have a Seiko 5 with the 7S26C movement that’s -5/day out of the box now in its 5th year of being wornPretty sweet for $100
Watch thread four
>>18689794the compass bezel is the worst complication ever.They are a pain in the ass to use
They’re jeet-coded.
>>18697131Those fucking suck. I'll never buy another "automatic" that you can't hack and handwind. Also, the crystal sucks and the bracelet is shit and of course there's no screwdown crown.You won't find any Seiko 5 new for under $130, and even at that price it's shitty. Guess that brand name really speaks to you.

>>18694927Yes it's in that range if it's sitting in a case. But if you wear it, that range ends up around +/- 3

Gay spam thread
Alsta is way too expensive, but it's the actual subject of the thread, not Seiko. Seiko is overpriced fucking garbage for what it costs. They're losing foothold in the market which is why you see these panicked shills in here pushing them so hard. But it's no use. People are done buying Seiko until the prices come down or the specs go up. They can't just trade on their looks and name anymore. Everyone is sick of their bullshit.
>>18726662You'd never buy that, shill.Seiko fucking blows and you know it. No bump. Full SAGE.
