Glashütte Original SeaQ

“Not always but I def factor it in. Pretty used to METAS/COSC which I appreciate. I LOVE high horology independents with impeccable finishing (does that count as movement in this question?) although I can’t afford Rexhapi and Forsey etc etc. In more affordable world (still crazy expensive), GO as an example has such beautiful movements to the point that I have not bought a SeaQ bc it’s a closed caseback hiding a work of art. I know you’re point re Nomos and servicing if it were an ETA, but I like knowing Nomos had to build it all from ground up. Incredible achievement. Finally, the Horage Supersede I own was absolutely influenced by how much I liked the movement. Visually and performance. Getting the COSC card with all the exact testing results was so cool (and allows me to keep it -1 seconds per MONTH bc I know face up is + and on side is - so easy to correct All this being said, the aesthetics, sizing, and role of watch including complications almost always more important by decent margin.”
