    It’s a beautiful design! I love quartz watches but I have to admit that there’s something about mechanical movements. Just knowing that it’s a bunch of tiny springs and gears instead of electronics is really cool despite the drawbacks.

      Yeah I agree. Honestly I never thought this way when I first got in to watches.

      I wouldn’t call myself a watch snob by any means, but I now understand how people become one.

      The more you immerse yourself in the world of watches, YouTube reviews, etc, it seems like the less able you are to appreciate a quartz movement, which is objectively better in many ways.

      I noticed that I also appreciate heritage a lot more now, and don’t like mods or homages nearly as much as I used to, although I still have a few that I’ve built myself.

      What the hell is happening to me? Lol
