[Anonymous No.17093000]

>>17092990
People do tend to buy a large when they should get a medium. (And sometimes the interesting combinations are only available in larger case sizes.)
I think in the example you posted, the guy was actually comparing sizes, rather than showing a wrist shot of his own watch.

But regardless of the wearer, when comparing watch to watch, the Reverso is superior to the Tank.

[Anonymous No.17093001]

>>17092990
The LC tank wears a lot smaller because of the "lugs" being integrated the way they are, whereas JLC has more normal lugs. You need to size way, way, WAY down on a Reverso for it not to overtake your wrist unless you have pretty big wrists.

[Anonymous No.17093012]

The bulk hurts. I have a small-ish sized wrist (~6.75in) and every Reverso except for a medium monoface felt like an unstable block of steel when I tried them on. It's just a really weird watch on the wrist that will just flat out not work for certain people depending on their wrist shape.

I agree that the Reverso is a better watch but you can still get tanks that have JLC movements or Piaget ultra-thin movements. That's good shit.

I know you used to but I'm not sure if that's the case anymore.
The Tank LC I used to have had an F. Piguet movement in it but it was from the late 70s.

The only Cartier I can think of that uses a Piaget movement is the Drive Extra Flat which uses a 430P (manual wind, two-hand) which is also used in some Altiplano models.

It's a little confusing because of branding reasons I suppose, but pic related which I consider the best tank currently on offer uses an "8971 MC" movement, which is actually just a JLC 846 used in some Reversos.

[Anonymous No.17093162]

>>17093158
Lol, that is confusing indeed. In the old days, Cartier freely copped to using outside movements. Hell, they even boasted about how good the movements they sourced were.
Now, everything has to be in-house, which means they simply lie about doing the thing that they've always done.

[Anonymous No.17093165]

>>17093162
It’s just standard Richemont obfuscation. I don’t know why they do it because a JLC movement is a selling point. They even do it with the Vacheron Fiftysix which has a movement based on…a Cartier 1904. When there are plants like ValFleurier churning out movements, distinctions like “in-house” lose all meaning unfortunately.

It’s undefeatable, that’s why people still get so upset by it.

[Anonymous No.17093178]

>>17093165
There's also a lot of instances where the overlap is inevitable. All ALS's movements are made in Glashuette and all JLC's movements are made in Le Sentier, but for all the other brands (VC, Cartier, Panerai, IWC, Piaget, etc) they have their movements made to varying degrees by ValFleurier or each other.
If it goes through ValFleurier, though, it will be made along a specific architecture that will be easily traceable.

Piaget, for instance, makes their own movements, but also sources movements from JLC and Cartier via ValFleurier. Piaget then turns around and sends other movements to Cartier. Cartier makes some of their own movements but also gets some movements from ValFleurier.

To mapit all out would require a lot of red string.

I bought a Citizen BN0150 for 130 euro, but it turns out it has a bit of vertical bezel play (tiny amount but it's there and it will causes a click when you press on it).

I'm planning to return it, but still debating internally whether I should keep it. It's beautiful otherwise, and I got it for a pretty good price. I'm also sure I won't pay attention to the play too much. But I'm also not 100% in love with the aesthetics to ignore it easily.

Past tense. Those have been discontinued for a while now.
At one point, quartz movements were hyped as the next frontier in luxury watches (So thin! So accurate! Batteries last years!) but once the Asians started making them for pennies, then mechanical movements went back to being king in the luxury segment.

[Anonymous No.17093861]

>>17093858
Yeah I'm aware unfortunately.
Thing is there's more you can do than 'just' a quartz timepiece. I recently picked up an Oceanus that's basically just pretending to be a dumb watch. Time sync to BT or radio, auto hand alignment adjustment, independently driven hands that park the seconds hand to save battery in the dark and spring it back to perfect time when you pick it up again, all that stuff. The amount of under the hood cleverness going on reminds me of why I like mechanicals, it's that same feeling of wonder at the elegant execution of some complex under the hood sophistication to deliver something seamless.
If Casio can do that for a few hundred with super nice finishing I'd love to see what crazy shit could be done going further in the real luxury bracket. A quartz watch doesn't have to be 'just' a quartz watch.
But I think I'm off topic at this point anyway.

[Anonymous No.17093866]

>>17093858
Too bad really. In my opinion quartz with sweeping seconds hand like Bulova precisionist, GS spring drive, or one of the rare few others like those hand full of Casio's and Citizen's should have been the next step. Batteries have slowly become better and with solar or eco-drive I really can't see reduced battery life being such a huge drawback.
Not to mention it's much easier and cheaper to add fancy looking complications and like >>17093858 said there's smart stuff you can do with quartz that can't be done on mechanical watches.

Because it's a smaller watch. It's got a 19mm bracelet and very short lug to lug length.

It is too bad, but it's kind of a moot point now since "no one needs a watch anymore". Of course, your phone can do anything that any watch can do. The watch is a luxury piece now and one of luxury's hallmarks is hand-craft.

ALS is revered for what it is in large part because of the wonderful hand finishing of the case and movement. Does any ALS owner really care that much about a difference in accuracy of 3 sec/day vs 6 sec/day?

This is true but also kind of dumb given that machines are capable of much better precision. Just imagine watches with microscopic details on the dial, for instance it wouldn't be impossible to inscribe words that would only be seen as texture with the naked eye but could be read when putting it under a microscope. It's pointless sure, but I'd also call products with such small details luxury.

I have to say, from those pictures I prefer the dial on the Omega for the red/orange and beige/cream/champagne/silver or whatever you want to call them. The date on the bottom also creates more symmetry than on with the DJ having it on the right. The look of the case, bracelet, hands and indices still looks better on the OP imo, but still I can see someone who wants a date complication buying that red dial Seamaster over a DJ.

>>17094285
No I did not know that, interesting.

[Anonymous No.17094299]

>>17094289
Fair enough.
The main difference between quartz and mechanical movements in terms of their accuracy is that mechanical movements are susceptible to rate changes based on position (face up, face down, crown up, crown down, and so forth) while quartz movements are susceptible to rate changes based on temperature.
So quartz movements aren't tested in various positions, while mechanical movements don't need to be tested in as many temperatures.
It goes without saying the standard for quartz is tighter than for mechanical. (+/- 15 sec/month vs -6/+4 sec/day, respectively)

You may have heard the term "thermocompensated" before when talking about quartz movements. That is required for a quartz chronometer. Basically the movement checks the temperature and slows itself down or speeds itself up accordingly.
