My excuse? 15year old #SARB017 is losing a (nearing)minute daily and rotating bezel's gritty from min 30 to min 45.
Solar+GMT Sumo's surprisingly light(coming from SARB017 and Garmin Instinct). Doesn't feel too tall nor overhang on my 7.25in/18.4cm wrist.
On Single pass RSM Field Grey Herringbone Twill strap until I get bracelet link removal tool. Love this strap as I can position all the hardware away from bottom and underside of wrist, makes sysadmin'ng a breeze.
Seems that I got lucky with alignment draw? Seconds hand appears to be mostly hitting all indexes on the rehaut, missed a by bit from min 45 to min 60.
Overall, Chuffed to bits.
Lovely. We need more appreciation for great quartz watches.
I'm collecting more and more quartz watches myself, and HAQ watches is something I'm very interested in.
For flyer/traveller/true GMT's, I think a solar quartz movement makes a whole lotta sense. As setting time and date on flyer GMT's a pain, given that you'd need to go through all-of-them-hours to set date. At least on caller/office GMT's, one can set date separately.
Of course, if you only have that single watch, above won't be an issue, but who does that subscribed to [email protected] :).
HAQ? I might have been tempted by the Citizen ~~chicken~~The Citizen, especially the Indigo Washi Paper dial one.
