All true points, of course. There are definitely advantages to quartz, which in all honesty is why I tend to prefer them for watches that are hard utility. My Seamaster just got back from servicing...fuck, the thing looks brand new. The baggie of parts they gave me back confirmed my suspicions...but I think given the number of wheels included from the movement (in addition to the normal things they always replace like gaskets and crowns), I have a feeling the movement itself may have had some corrosion too that had to be taken care of.

Bless the watchmaker who took care of it though...they even fixed the misalignment of the hour hand that I've been used to for decades.

It's a curious thing, actually. When I fly, I tend to open the valve if I'm changing sea-level location (like if you're flying from London to Mexico City), and I'll leave it open until I reach the hotel. Probably doesn't make a difference, but even if it did I wouldn't 'see it'. I'm sure there are some people who would use it as a utility watch...after all, the Rolex Deep Sea goes way way down, and no one complains about that. I just complain about the 'ORIGINAL GAS ESCAPE VALVE' and shit all around the inside of the face...awful.

PP are known for having the most immaculate finished movements in the industry...usually only the watchmaker and repairman gets to see it....so it's good that you got the transparent backing (though that's not standard, is it? I was sure they were not...)
