How many TRF-fers own quartz watches, and still wear them on their wrists.

Show us what you have, or at least what you are willing to admit to having.

I picked up this dressy Longines just last month at a pawn shop... ...
... ... ...

.. .. and this Citizen Promaster does at least a dozen things that my rollies can't ...

.. .. I don't have an excuse for this Swatch Red Irony. I just kinda like it.

cody p · 25 July 2009, 08:50 AM

i have a tag f1, a gucci dress watch and a 'walmart' casio. nothing wrong with quartz. i'd love to get a citizen chronomaster some day.

babylon · 25 July 2009, 08:58 AM

Yeah, before I realized I too could own one of those fabled Rolex watches, I shelled out $700 for a Tonino Lamborghini,

I have an Omega Seamaster, electric blue, quartz and love it! In addition I have several Swiss Army Chrono Classics that are quartz and love them as well. There is nothing wrong with quartz in my book! Cheers, Bill P.

Its in the Swatch Irony series, with model name Redtangle. Model number is YCS4049AG. I bought it in October 2008.

I'm using a couple different Seiko quartz beaters with the day-date function.

I like this one though, . . . but don't have ¥250,000 in my back pocket .

what's the model number on that one? i'm wondering if it has the fabled 9f in it?

There are quite a few great looking Seikos. I still sometimes wear my Seiko 6138 from my high school days.

JJ Irani · 27 July 2009, 04:17 AM

That Longines looks sleek and very dressy!!

Sperry · 27 July 2009, 08:03 AM

That particular Grand Seiko is the 35mm SBGF027, featuring the 8J55 movement.
¥ 255,000 list, less maybe 20%, plus HST, brings one back to $2,500.

The 9F83 movement is used in SBGT variant with day/date function.
SBGT029 SBGT031 SBGT019 SBGT021 SBGT014 SBGT019

I'm currently rotating in this SGF719P on a Seiko bracelet, with this decent oyster-type bracelet on it's way.

Thanks JJ. I like it and got it at a very good price as well (less than US100). I suspectr one factor is that Longines does not have the cache that it used to, or that its history/quality/design deserve.

cody p · 27 July 2009, 09:41 AM

Sperry, thanks for the pic links. there's nothing wrong with the 8j. in fact i believe it has a 5 year battery life (9f is only 3) and has ability to independently set the hour hand and is rated at +/- 10 secs per year (correct me on all this if i'm off). of course the 9f movement is sealed with a 50 year service interval.
cheers!

Ed Rooney · 27 July 2009, 11:37 AM

I wear my old Seiko 7a28 once in a while. It was the first analog quartz chronograph.

My wife wears a Tag-Heuer midsize diver a day or two every week.

AWATCH · 27 July 2009, 12:40 PM

I was at one time an all mechanical person, however i have accumulated several quartz watches and i really enjoy them. There is something still special about a fine manual movement watch though

heres a few of them:

Rockrolex · 27 July 2009, 12:49 PM

I have two quartz watches that I wear on a somewhat irregular basis.

My Omega X-33, I wear primarily to time our morning walks.

My Citizen Skyhawalk I wear sometimes just for the hell of it.

I also have an early Seiko quartz digital with a solar battery and about 10 Casios of various models, all with an analog face, multiple digital time zone, one or more alarms, chrono function, and a data bank to store numbers and other information. The last one I bought in this vein was also regulated by the atomic clock signal out of Ft. Collins, CO. It's the one I use to set all my other watches.

vh_bu98 · 27 July 2009, 01:49 PM

I have a Tissot that is quartz, but I pretty much never wear it.

asadtiger · 27 July 2009, 02:58 PM

my quartz...an early 1996/1997 tissot PR50...never gave any trouble...very reliable watch

oneillba · 27 July 2009, 12:49 PM

I have a $250 Seiko Rolex look a like, a very nice Movado Black Sapphire on a black leather strap for tuxedo wear. There are a few others, but none get the wrist time anymore like my TT DJ.

It's called Mister Chrono, and it can be had straight from the Swatch Store for a mere 110 dollars.

Quite a nice watch, and very very lightweight and comfortable.!

And a crappy camera phone pic.
