    Sweet Hermes. Must have cost a fortune. Love the dial on that VHP. I had always found the ones I had seen rather bland.

    My conclusion?

    It's ain't all about accuracy.



    Thanks everybody.

    Yes and accuracy is a tricky concept because at the end of the day standard quartz accuracy is fine for most any need and one (at least I do) tends to get aggravated when an HAQ is out of specs and can't be self-tuned like the ETA watches.

    This non-HAQ 6M26 came in this week and I'm lovin' it...as you do with a new watch but this one will keep its appeal I'm sure :

    Here are a few shots of my all-time favorite quartz. It checks all the boxes for me: 5 seconds per year spec, titanium case and bracelet, optically flat, coated sapphire crystal, perpetual calendar, independently adjustable hour hand, luminous hands and markers, ten year warranty.
    The only down-side I can see is that for warranty work or service, it has to go back to Japan because it’s not sold by Citizen outside Japan. But the ten year warranty includes free replacement batteries, adjustment to the 5 seconds per year spec and service when the battery is changed. Because it's JDM it has to be returned to Citizen via the vendor. This has proved to be no problem at all since I bought mine in 2006.
