0 WR, garbo movement that they don't regulate and has a stuttery garbage chronograph hand with a dogshit horizontal clutch that literally grinds your movement to dust while you have the chronograph running.
A 12 hour totalizer completes the joke because if you actually run it for that long you're wrecking the movement AND your time keeping because the chronograph drops the amplitude of the movement buy about 30-50 depending on power reserve.

>What, really?
Yes (currently several at 2k-3k range at crh24), it has the old lemania movement that is liked by watch enthusiasts, it has the characteristic arrow and day-date complication, opposed to the current modified valjoux that only has date.If you are a collector, for sure would be an interesting piece, but for wearing it more than random times I would get the newest one. I also love that model, so it is also on my mind getting something similar if not that one, it is bulky, but the military and utilitarian design is really cool.

>literally could have added an extra gear to make it an independent set and give affordable quartz chronos a fantastic fucking GMT complication but no, it's just a fucking eyesore, mocking you for your poor decision every time you look at your watch.
>only the valJEW layouts have a 12 hour totalizer
>60 min register is constantly running, and unlike the Miyota OS10 it falls out of sync with the fucking chrono hand after a few months of use
>there's no way to sync it up without literally moving the hand back into place manually.
Here's the kicker:
>reset is non-jeweled and very high torque
>THE ENTIRE HAND STACK IS FRICTION FIT and not snap on LIKE EVERY SINGLE OTHER FUCKING WATCH
>resetting the chrono moves the minute hand
>the reset torque is higher then the static friction of the chrono hand fiitting
>If the chrono hand is even just slightly too long or heavy it will eventually start resetting to random positions due to slippage
>Chrono hand just fucking falls off after a while, it also can just fall off with shocks unlike most quartz or even mechanicals

Got it late February, took it to my local favorite watch seller who said they "had a guy" who does vintage. WuFlu strikes and the place it gets sent is closed for months. When they open in late May they say they "can't find parts" (aka probably didn't want to do it). I kept it for a few weeks and said fuck it and sent it to Tag Huehue's "Vintage Workshop". They'll probably kill any collectors value it had, but being a Viceroy it was never that rare to begin with. They're gonna take like 12 weeks to do it at least. I approved to work 2 weeks ago. I should have just worn it but didn't know the service history and wanted to be safe

Ive had two of these. Got one about when the first suunto core was released, late 2008, died from water during kayaking in 2009. Got replaced with a new one when I took it in for service. That one crapped its backlight in 2017 during a 2hour bicycle trip in the rain, so now pretty useless since cant tell time if dark. Granted I havent replaced the seals while changing the battery and whatnot but I think thats bad performance for a watch aimed a outdoors activities. The compass is rather accurate actually, the altimeter not so much. Might post picture later.

The design of the 321 is from a time when a lot more skilled labour used to be spent on adjusting movements. It has to be assembled twice, the first time to allow the watchmater to adjust all the tolerances, then taken down and finish lubricated for final assembly. It also has a screwed balance which again requires a bunch of time from a skilled watchmaker to adjust, particularly as the movement is a slow beat and those take a lot more work to adjust for a reasonable level of chronometric performance.

I've seen macros of the new 321 in various videos about it and the quality of the finishing on much of the movement is at a level where it clearly has a significant amount of hand finishing, even if a bunch of that finishing isn't as complex as what you get on haute movements. Compared to a Daytona movement the finishing is in another planet. The movement finishing is easily comparable to entry level JLC chronographs, which are also in the $15k range.

Designing a movement is a complex and extremely expensive engineering task, you utter retard.

Machining a movement after the engineers have worked out the math and physics of it as an entirely different matter.

He got mogged by most people in the group to be honest.

I am a /pol/ crossover so pretty redpilled. Canadians are mostly pozzed pussies but the watch community tends to attract more right leaning personality types.
