I pretty much only like automatic movements anymore. The quartz ones bore me. Kinetic is cool but I like all of the moving bits in an auto. I just need to hurry up and finally buy a really expensive automatic movement.
I think my next actual watch buy is going to be a Submariner or a Speedmaster (first watch on the moon!).

dont 'real' automatic watches go like $5K? those apparently are very accurate and use no quartz inside. i think for most folks the seiko kinetic will do better than the orient for sub $1K watches. |

yah, the SP1/MS3's are probably heavier than my SA55M's too... that's one of the down sides on top of shops not having enough info on the back spacing for these wheels.
i know there are like 4 different disk versions offered, but there is no dimension noted so it's partly guess work. at $4K, i dont like guess work. |

Higher-end watches using Swiss ETA movements usually start around $800 and go on up. An entry-level ETA movement is around $200-250 by itself. Rolex uses its own in-house movements which are very expensive and accurate. They are known for the continuous sweep of the second hand which I really like. Lots of the other makers just use Swiss ETA these, however some have their own in-house stuff, like Omega's Co-Axial Escapement. These are the two that I am considering... maybe as a Christmas present to myself: OMEGA Watches: Speedmaster Moonwatch Co-Axial Chronograph - Steel on steel - 311.30.44.50.01.002 OFFICIAL ROLEX WEBSITE - Timeless Luxury Watches Both would be around $7k so I am a little hesitant to spend that much. All I wear right now are $200-300 Seiko automatics.

I just did jazz hands (aka spirit fingers) to the song for 30 sec straight sitting at my desk at work :-)
