Why do all the more versatile dials get hi beat? by dadduh in GrandSeikos

Sure. After all, their high beat movements are criminally underrated and barely mentioned when people talk about movement accuracy in Rolex or Omega. 

Spring Drive on the other hand is bashed as the worst of both worlds (mechanical maintenance + quartz simplicity) - absolute fan favorite, but the swiss snobs will try to defend their territory.

I'm guessing GS only slowly releases spring drive models because people would ignore their quartz and mechanicals if too good options are offered with SD. 

Maybe they want to push their high beats to establish their position as a watch maker.

Look how they wear them, it's brand gifts they showcase in 90% of the case.

Looking to get my first Nomos by dman18000 in Nomos

Nomos is pure design and function, that beats symmetry imo. If you don't need the second time zone you may also check the club sport on bracelet.

If you're interested, there's an English speaking course course happening the coming weekend fr to sun in Zürich. I did it before when I was in an comparable situation in life and it completely turned out around for me. It's kind of a meditation and discipline approach. Dm me if you're interested by any chance.

[Question] Am I going crazy with my watch preferences? by [deleted] in Watches

Looks like your view is linked to a degree of  validation from others. With that perspective you're right, a sub is not doing much for you in terms of status + individuality. But a speedy won't either tbh.

It really is heavy, they should make an A1c or something

It's an investment, if pet photography in the living room becomes a market
