Just saw this on the Qantas store.
I don't personally love the design but it looks like a decent discount.
Was 449,830 points down to 179,930 or $1,108.33 + 2000 QFF points

Cheapest I can find elsewhere online is $1,799 on StarBuy with an RRP of $3k.

      but 99% of watches are centered. Live a little!

  Is any Seiko watch really worth $3000?

  • 

    RyanMK on 09/09/2018 - 18:17

    Probably those under the Grand Seiko line.

    What in your eyes make a watch worth a certain amount?

    This one says it automatically adjusts time zones based on GPS, calendar will be correct until 2100, daylight savings adjustment, and water resistant up to 100 meters. Apple Watch will do all of those things and more, but is only rated for up to 50m water resistance.

    I always thought seiko was a cheap brand, like a timex.

      Nah, Seiko and Citizen are the premium Japanese brands, Timex was American and is now rubbish.

      Euro watches just sell on snob value in my opinion, Omega for example are good but way overpriced.

        it's all down to whether the watch's movement is based on mechanical or quartz

        quartz movement is cheap and mass produced, that does not need specially trained staff and rigorous testing, the whole assembly line probably can be automated with robots

        while mechanical require specially trained watchmakers hand assembled and rigorous testing for how accurate the movement will be, so quantity is limited

        time keeping wise, quartz is a superior technology

        but watch collectors would often go for mechanicals, because they are an intricate piece of art; but also a pain, because they are spring driven, so you either need to wear it everyday or keep on a watch winder else it will stop

  I was seriously considering an Atron for ~5k a few years back… I ended up buying a smartwatch (moto360), then a $100 Seiko
