    Thanks for the inputs bro. Personally am not a fan of the gold case so I'm choosing between the SRPB41 and SRPB43. Between the two it seems the 43 looks classier with the white dial.

    I also checked out the limited edition SRPC97 earlier today. Sa totoo lang mas maganda itsura ng ordinary Cocktail Time. They say the Fuyugeshiki looks like a baby Snowflake but for me it doesn't look as captivating as the GS.

    I'm sure doc your watch is 14 to 15x more accurate per day. [emoji23]

    Speaking of accuracy, does that word apply to watches din ba?

    Correct me if i' wrong but I think the correct word for keeping time is precise?

    everyone knows, a cheap quartz watch can run rings of accuracy around the most expensive mechanical watch.
    accuracy is not the raison de etre for choosing to wear mechanical timepieces over electronic ones.
    heh heh.

    my question was innocent.
    i simply want to know, by how many seconds or minutes per week, does the presage wander from true?
    so that i may have an idea, of how often i will have to re-adjust it, should i decide to acquire and use one..
    as you guys know, i'm an MD. and if i don't re-adjust my watch, and C4U is in the waiting room...
    hey! it's true. the folks i have to work with... they're sticklers for punctuality. some of them actually walk out if the other person is late by 10 minutes.
    heh heh heh.

    i don't know which word is better for watch evaluation, precise or accurate.
    unlike the typical examples used to explain the difference between precision and accuracy, time-keeping error in watches, is cumulative.

    Hehehe

    Maybe you will need to re adjust it once a week.

    Back to your question, i have a seiko powered by a 4R36 which is basically a 4R35 without the day function. I am obsessing about its accuracy (or a lack thereof)
    and i am losing approximately 10 seconds per day.

    Monitored it for a week. Now i am a minute behind. Hence, i can safely say the 4R36 is not accurate but it sure as hell is damn precise for a $200 watch. [emoji4]

    Hope i answered your question.

    i haven’t measured it doc but lots of reviews on the net about the accuracy of the 4r35/36 movement of seiko. a quickie one [emoji28] - Quick accuracy test of the 4R35 | Yeoman's Weblog

    thanks.

    that seiko website's report of +45 sec to -35 sec a day, is just about what i used to expect from my seiko 5, 20 years ago.

    seiko owns orient.
    i guess, the designers share some... things... in the back room.

    but as my pessimist friend says,
    "they can design only so many variations of a clock face.."

    Seiko is to Toyota as Orient is to Lexus?

    "i am confident, neither seiko nor orient would put it that way."
    "different." i guess the proper word is "different".

    seiko owns so many non-timepiece-related institutions.

    I agree....it's the Cocktail Time line of the Presage collection of Seiko's dress watches! They're more expensive than my Bambino...I mean, just look at the texture of that dial!

    Haha! Uy, the skin didn't come with the watch! Hehe!

    Yeah that Seiko dial looks mesmerizing.

    If skin like that can be bought, I would be first in line. LOL! BTW, nice porma too

    Plus, appreciation of the value of the watch is not only monetary.

    Like what doc said, if the watch has been with you for twenty years, it might not have appreciated in peso value. But with all the experience you shared together, i.e. wedding, first born, first house, first car, et. al. For sure the watch has appreciated in value already. Not monetary but sentimental value. Whether it's a Rolex or a Casio or whatever brand you have on your wrist.
