Re: Opinions on quartz "Bond"
In Response To: Opinions on quartz "Bond" ()

: The watch I just purchased used from a friend was a quartz
: "Bond" Seamaster. If I had a choice I certainly
: would have purchased the automatic version.

Unless your friend had a gun to your head during the transaction, you did have a choice. But there is no reason to think you chose poorly!

The quartz model is excellent. It is by far one of the best watches in its price range for accuracy. Several owners have reported to me their quartz Seamaster Pros staying within +/-3 seconds PER MONTH.

And, if you have read the zOwie Seamaster FAQ, you would have seen that the quartz version has the unique ability to change the hour without stopping the second hand. That is great for changing timezones while traveling or switching on/off daylight savings time without losing the accurate time synchronization of the watch.
