Hvad gør et ur robust

[willy]

The case bracelet and the glass have to be of good quality on a mechanical or quartz watch .But most important in my eyes is the thing inside that tells you what the time is.Now if we forget quartz because quartz can take much more abuse than any mechanical watch.We have to look at how a brand build their calibers.Most mechanical watches can take quite a bit of abuse but there are so many parts in a caliber that can go wrong or break.The brand in my opinion that make the strongest calibers are Rolex.They do not use a lot of time and effort on the finish of their basic calibers but they are over dimensioned and built to take most of what you can throw at them.It is worth reading Walt Oddets review of a Rolex caliber on Time Zone.It was in his opinion built in a very sloppy way but it still kept exceptional time.There are just so many storys about the abuse Rolex calibers can take that you could write a book about it.IWC decided to do the same as Rolex a few years ago cut down on the finish and build for reliability instead.But we all know that out of thousands of calibers there will always be weak links somewhere even for Rolex.Nothing is perfect Willy
