with chinese watches you get 2x or even 3x on your money in terms of value ... however I would stay away from Chinese movements... in this case with a seiko movement for 35$ its a no brainer... ask 100 guys and not even 1 will tell you its a sub 100$ watch.

So PG is now selling a watch with double-domed sapphire for $35 in a dress watch and Seiko itself is STILL selling $300-$400+ Presage watches with Hardlex? Orient doesn't get to Sapphire unless you spend $200 or more and that's on divers. Even for Casio you have to spend over $100. Will the "mainstream" companies ever get a clue? It's insane at his point.

[@Entertainment-]

Who’s point?

[@ohhenry2]

Pretty sure Seiko and Orient are doing just fine; they know what they can and cannot do (in terms of market response), and have determined that it is still profit maximizing to reserve sapphire for higher price points. The question is: when will mainstream customers start migrate en masse to Chinese watch brands and their higher value offerings? Until that starts to happen on more significant numbers, I don't think Seiko/Orient feel the need to compete against the likes of Pagani Design. Oh, and Seiko still has a respectable name brand, a for real warranty, a rich history. So they don't need to compete on specs/value alone. I own more Seikos than any other brand, and several Chinese specials, as well so I appreciate them both, and I hope no one takes this comment as prejudiced or trolling.

[@J_Benn]

@ohhenry2 I have several Seikos too. I still wear them. But more and more as I see them raise prices even on Seiko 5s and continue to have alignment issues and QC issues while still putting hardlex on a $500 watch while a random Chinese company can put out a watch with a Seiko movement and double-dome sapphire for $35, it does make even a Seiko lover even wonder if the company even cares anymore about its product or most loyal consumers (not the casual buyer).

Hi Jody, how is the finish between the lugs? I have a Daytona from Pagani and if i dare to remove the bracelet for a different watch strap there is such ugly and rough machining between the lugs.

[@Spurdospaerde692]

For measuring rate they're at least as accurate as those Chinese boxes. That's just a matter of counting ticks. I have however noticed significant differences in measured beat errors between different apps, and here it can also vary depending on how I hold the smartphone mic to the watch. Some apps are also extremely sensitive to background noise. Someone should make a cheap rotatable watch holder / mic with a USB-C cable to use with timegrapher apps! Maybe someone already does?
