Accuracy: What Is It, And Does Anyone Actually Care?
Accuracy: its pursuit is the reason watchmaking exists at all, and yet, it's easier to get an argument about date windows started than a discussion about accuracy. Take away watches as everything else that they are – expressions of personal taste or style; collectible rarities; objects of decorative ornamentation; amusing pieces of mechanical ingenuity – and what you have is a machine designed to keep time accurately. What accuracy actually is, however, is not as straightforward as you might think, and with atomic-clock accurate time available just about everywhere, it's useful – if mechanical horology is something that interests you – to look at this single most essential, yet surprisingly little-discussed, feature of watchmaking. 1 OF 6 Accuracy for most of us means one thing: whether or not a watch keeps the same time as whatever we use as a time standard.

Omega Speedmaster vs. Special Editions
I just purchased the basic Speedmaster, 42mm, hesalite, manual wind, leather strap for 3,145.00.

Are you paying for the marketing hype or are these a much better built watch than the standard versions? How about resale value?

WW1 Omega
Hello all,As a newbie I love all the knowledge that these forums provide.I have had this watch for several years and know little about it. It was purchased on a whim and I am thinking of selling it etc. The main spring has finally given out ,but prior,for last 4 years it was in my rotation and kept very good time. Would anyone have an idea as to its history and actual sale value? I don't want to list it at an unreasonable price. I don't seek profit,just fair market value.Many thanks.

not often ...
