As you ladies and gentlemen of the forum may have been aware, I have recently acquired an interest in watches. I have mentioned I have champagne taste and a micro brew beer budget.
Unless one acquires a perpetual day/date analog watch, then 10 months of the year the day has to be adjusted, since July and August both have 31 days. Since I have to make an adjustment to the watch for 10 months, and when we switch to/from daylight savings time, if the time is off by more than a minute or two a month, it can be adjusted then.
So, if we have accuracy, reliability, and durability coupled with a fine looking watch, I dare ask the heretical question- why spend hundreds more when you're not going to notice a discernible difference?
