And since I wanted to buy new, it was the one I went with. I'm still very fond of it, but I also still have a soft spot for that domed acrylic crystalOriginally Posted by Kaplan
Thanks. Me too. The acrylic bends light and provides a subtle softness not found in modern watch crystals.

Said Seiko:Originally Posted by 0b5cur1ty
Yours is a quartz, so 4 jewels is more than enough given far less moving parts in the movement. It's a very good watch btw, with a high-accuracy quartz movement. Should be accurate to about +/- 20 sec/year IIRC.

Whatever -- my Seiko has like 23 jewels.Originally Posted by Mentos
Judging the quality of a watch by the number of jewels it has is like judging how well dressed a man is by the quantity and sparkly-ness of his accessories.

Thanks. I was joking, but you are kind to want to reassure me.
The 8F56 movement is indeed specced at +/- 20 seconds per year (with regular wear).

I, for one, would not be ashamed to date that watch.Originally Posted by Lustre
