... looks very soft and vulnerable .

My the only favorite, but despite of COSC certificate gains +2s in 21 days, so looks like it need the calibration.

I've noticed the hands on your blue ML Miros are black, while hands on my blue are silver. Did you upgrade them, or it's only photoshop version?

My favorite that I own is a Seiko SE-SNA799 Chronograph; it's got a black face, lume-coated hands, and a yellow chrono hand, as well as a yellow alarm hand and second hands on separate dials. The lume isn't great, and the numbers on the bezel (which aligns perfectly) are a tiny bit larger than most, but it's still a good-looking timepiece, and my daily wearer at this time. It retails for about $475, but I picked mine up for $90. Right now this is definitely my favorite quartz watch that I own, and maybe even my favorite watch period(= I'll attach a picture of below. Sorry that it's a stock picture, I use an old-timey film camera, and my iPod doesn't take very good photos.


As far as quartz watches that I don't own, I really like the Tag Heuer S/EL Chronograph. It comes in a version with quartz movement ("Professional") and in a version with automatic movement ("Automatic"). I adore this watch, I want one so badly! Here's a picture of the quartz version (though I'd buy the automatic version), since this thread is indeed about quartz watches.


As far as watches that I'll never own, on the basis of price (I could probably afford that Tag if I sold my Omega, or a few other things), this Grand Seiko is absolutely gorgeous.... It has a spring drive, but still uses a quartz crystal, so I'm gonna' stick it in the quartz pile just so I can post it in this thread...=P The chrono pushers are a bit large, but this watch is still on my list of dream watches. Absolutely love the styling. (=

I fall in love in Porsche Design, especially their automatic models are very nice, but one of the quartz models in my favorite red dial .

They are silver, but I was using a black clip board above/behind the camera to screen out excess light that was causing a reflection, so it probably made them look black.

At last, a fantastic thread. What a marvelous group of watches. I am in the prices of selling a few to get a couple. I just got the Omega 300 Electric Blue and have to say, it is becoming my favorite watch. Seiko or Sinn next up

Peter, this simple movement ETA calibrated (ETA 251.232)
