- Mechanical movements, field-repairable for generations
- Speedmaster Moonwatch still the real NASA spec
- One purchase, no subscription, actual resale value
- Luxury markup for the name on the dial
- Some quartz models dilute the mechanical soul
Side Effects
ancestors filing patents in their graves, heirs fighting in probate
