The JLC Masterquartz has a GP Cal 352. The 352 is a fine movement - basic 32KHz with a stepper motor. I'm not actually clear on whether it was the first 32KHz watch or if Seiko's 35/38 series beat them to it. In any case, it's often highlighted as the first quartz watch with a modern design - 32KHz tuning fork quartz, stepper motor.

The oysterquartz is I'd say a much higher quality watch. Finishing aside (which is also significantly better than the JLC, I'd say), the oysterquartz has a pallet fork escapement and a voltage-controlled crystal oscillator, a much higher-quality movement.

Look like watches from the 40s or so. There were tons of Swiss casing brands that bought movements from FHF, AS, ESA, etc., and cased them up. The brands faded into obscurity and never really had much importance. More interesting would be if you opened them up and identified the movement.

A bunch of Swiss watch companies were (and still are) just assemblers. They buy an off the shelf swiss movement, a blank dial and hands and a case and put it together.

Yeah, they could be 40s ( he fought in spanish civil war from 1936-1939 so I don't think he bought them while fighting ) I'd love to open them but man, too risky, don't want to brake them.
>>13545621
I'll look it up, thank you very much!

I don't want to sell them because of the emotional value, but I'm interested in the price of them, eventough they wont be expensive because they were pretty poor actually so I don't really think the could afford a 40's rolex haha. Anybody has a bet?

[Anonymous No.13545658]

>>13545639
Depends what you mean by best obviously. My favorites would be
> Seiko 9983-7000: 5spy TC movement, textured dial, applied minute markers
> Oysterquartz: as mentioned
> Citizen Crystron 4 Mega: 4.19MHz AT cut watch, specced down to 3spy
> Omega marine chronometer: first marine chronometer certified wristwatch, 2.4MHz AT cut crystal, independent hour hand, second hand adjusts forward or backward
> Modern citizen chronomaster: excellent finishing, eco drive, 5spy, independent hour hand
> Modern seiko springdrive: smooth glide second hand, excellent dials, hands, and indices
There's also a bunch of quartz watches with qualities that aren't important to me, or that are horologically interesting, but not necessarily in a good way.

>>13545648
>I'm interested in the price of them
I have no idea what they would have cost in the 40s, but today they will be worth next to nothing. A fair price, if they're in good working order, is probably in the $30-50 range, although if the movements are uncommonly good it might be more.

[Anonymous No.13545679]

>>13545658
The Springdrive doesnt count to me. Very cool tecnology but not on the same accuracy level of the others i think.

I forgot about the Citizen... looks like a great deal...

I was thinking "best" as best quality, durability and accuracy of the movement mainly. Obviously a great watch in that regard is supposed to have a decent case etc...

You have the budget for a good condition Constellation instead, that was Omega's top model and the 60s was their peak. Just do your research and be patient, there's tons of them out there Omega was a huge company at the time.

[Anonymous No.13545892]

>>13545859
If it were me I'd shoot for a 168.017 constellation in a C case with a cal 564. The genta case has the higher tier chronometer movement with seamaster like aesthetics. If you can't be bothered to do the research to get an all original one from eBay, you could try to buy from a trusted dealer like kaba on watchexchange; you'll pay a premium over no-name eBay sellers but way better than the store that was charging you 1500usd for a cal 502.

[Anonymous No.13545916]

>>13545859
Your best best is a 168.024 Seamaster with the chronometer rated 564 movement. The best place to get a good deal on one is Yahoo! Japan Auctions using a proxy bidding service like ZenMarket, but be aware you have no buyer protection when buying from there.

"Rolex's stamped rather than machined case construction opens a gap over many rivals that are fabricated for less money using machined or CNC".

Very much sounds like he means the case is stamped, i.e. old style shitty watch clasps or an AK receiver, not that he means stamped as in stamping written text into it.

I really don't understand what he means, it's surely impossible that the Submariner case is anything other than milled.

[Anonymous No.13546258]

>>13546253
Guess I know nothing about steel, I had no idea you could make shapes so complex through a stamped process. I simply assumed they machined the whole case from a solid block of steel, looks like they stamp out the basic shape and polish it to the final one, really interesting, kind of makes me think less of the Sub for it though.

[Anonymous No.13546262]

Looks like the basic shape is stamped, then it is pressed face down into something that shapes what looks like the front more, then polished.

Well, the vast majority of the money and skill is in the finishing of the case, not the rough machining, so stamping case blanks vs rough machining them on a CNC isn't going to have much of any effect on the finished product.

Springdrive is absolutely a quartz movement. It uses a quartz crystal to keep time.

The 9F is outclassed by the citizen chronomaster in most important ways - accuracy and independent hour hand being the most important.

Because high end tc quartz have independently adjustable hour hands (and almost all modern watches have quickset dates) that don't require you to interrupt the timekeeping. The Seiko 9f, of course, is the notable exception.

I was very impressed with the chronomaster finishing when I saw them in person. It's been a while since I looked at 9f pieces, but compared to by sbga001 spring drive GS, I preferred the case finishing on the chronomaster. The GS hands were certainly nicer than the citizen hands, although the citizen hands were still excellent. The dials and indices were roughly on par - maybe a slight edge to GS on the indices.

Fair enough. The generic 9f models are 10spy though.

The issue is that, especially in the modern swiss market, there are generally very diminishing returns in the 500usd to 3000usd or so range, with few exceptions, and especially in terms of movement quality. I don't see a lot of point buying a longines, for example, when generally Hamilton and Tissot contain substantially the same movements.

You could consider baume & Mercier if your goal is to have a watch that will impressive people - it will hold more esteem than a Hamilton and you can probably get one used for 1000usd - but it will likely have a worse movement, or at best on par, with a Hamilton intramatic. Until you start looking at Omega, Cartier, Rolex, jlc, piaget, Tudor, etc. in the modern swiss market, you're just not getting a lot for your dollars above the basic brands.

This is a Lord Marvel 36000 and you should google "Seiko" "LM Special" and look at the pics because there are lots of variations.

Learn to use ZenMarket or Buyee to bid on Yahoo! Japan Auctions, though be aware you have no buyer protection on there.

Alright thanks, looking forward to it. If it is not too much, would you also have any information on the different cases the 52 and 56 movements came in?

Vostok Amphibia, swapped out the bezel for a Seiko bezel with black insert and upgraded the strap to a metal link not made of Soviet pot metal. These are unique as dive watches in that the dome is an epoxy based plastic rather than a rigid crystal; it's intentionally designed to flex under pressure. As pressure on the exterior increases, the dome flexes and flattens out, expanding into the crevices of the case and preventing water entry.
