Seiko Marinemaster .V. Rolex

[willy]

Magnum Skrev:

willy Skrev:The Seiko is maybe a little more in house than Rolex they even make their own oil

Rolex makes their own oil too, and done for years

willy Skrev:The crown on this watch is in my opinion not as well made as the Rolex.But it works and Seiko have used it for years.

Agree, this is probably the only thing that Seiko should improve. (sapphire would too, in my opinion)

willy Skrev:.It cannot really be compaired to anything in the market today when you look at the price and quality of this watch it stands alone.

True, and this is even in-house.

Citat:

Hi magnum.Rolex still buy certain parts out of house Seiko do not.But i think we are nit picking here <!-- s:lol: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing" /><!-- s:lol: --> They are both of course maybe the most inhouse you can get along side Citizen.I am not sure about the sapphire.I am not a expert but Seiko have said they use mineral because it cannot shatter.But i have heard that seiko are using sapphire on some divers now.But is this just catering to the public taste over the reliabilty of the watch in extreme situations?I hope not.I will wait until my glass is well scrached and then maybe put a sapphire in it.I am not a diver Willy
