willy Skrev:Hi magnum.Rolex still buy certain parts out of house Seiko do not.But i think we are nit picking here <!-- s:lol: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing" /><!-- s:lol: --> They are both of course maybe the most inhouse you can get along side Citizen.I am not sure about the sapphire.I am not a expert but Seiko have said they use mineral because it cannot shatter.But i have heard that seiko are using sapphire on some divers now.But is this just catering to the public taste over the reliabilty of the watch in extreme situations?I hope not.I will wait until my glass is well scrached and then maybe put a sapphire in it.I am not a diver Willy

Most divers are not sold to people who use them professionally. Most will end up as deskdivers, who will see a little water from showers and pools.
They should use sapphire, especially at that price.

Comex didn´t have problems issuing sapphire Sea-Dwellers to their divers, so I don´t think it is a big problem

Kim T Skrev:GREAT write up, and without using the word f.... even once

No four-letter words, I´m impressed <!-- s:lol: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing" /><!-- s:lol: -->

alsendk Skrev:Hello Willy, and thank you so much for your informative and enriching article about these two watches. Neither am I a watchmaker, or an expert in any way, when it comes to details about watches, calipres etc. I just love watches, how they look, and the histories, connected to each watch brand.
I am not quite aware if you are capable of understanding written danish, so I am giving my school english a try here, in hope not to offend you in any way.

Greetings
Allan

I have never been so fortunate as to own a Rolex, so I do not know anything about the comparison between watches from the two manufacturers. I do know, however, that I enjoy my MM300 equally as much today, as I did when I put it on my wrist for the very first time

Since You have put no pictures in Your thread, Willy, You can have one of mine

Joepete Skrev:

Det er lidt pudsigt at længden på sekundviseren er fin (kunne godt være en smule længere), men at minutviseren er alt for kort. Der er et godt stykke ud til index.

[Joepete]

Når jeg betragter visernes gang hen over skiven, så ser jeg:

Sekundviserens spids når ud til chapter ringens kant, og går således forbi hver markering med en "my´s" afstand.
Minutviserens spids "passer ind i" indeksmarkeringerne, så viserens spids er en "my" fra indeksmarkeringens stål når den passerer centrum
Timeviserens spids er en "my" fra de brede indeksmarkeringer og datovinduet når den passerer disse, og den rører lige akkurat "tippen" på 12-markeringen

Jeg er ret overbevist om, at Seiko har designet viserne ifht ovenstående, og jeg kan godt lide det, men smag og behag er jo som bekendt forskellig

Tror du har ret, det er nok ikke tilfældigt.
Jeg foretrækker at minutviseren går helt ud til index stregerne. Det gør det nemmere at aflæse tiden hurtigt, og at stille viseren helt præcist.
Det er dog ikke en deal-breaker for mig
