What does it really matter, they either keep time correctly or they do Not, you guys crack me up.

FAL, I couldn't agree more. It only matters to those who have an interest. No one cracks me up more than myself. People evaluate, categorise, price and sell diamonds based on that process. Why bother doing that. They're either sparkly bits of carbon or not. Those guys crack me up.

Bought one like this when on sale at Costco: http://cdn2.jomashop.com/media/catal...snkn41_2_1.jpg
A Seiko SNKN41 "Recraft Series" with 7S26 automatic movement. From what I've read one the cheaper automatic movements Seiko makes. But it keeps time and, to me, looks great. I wear it more than my more expensive watches.

The 7S26 has been around in one form or another for years and is a bullet proof mvmt.

You can use it and abuse it and wear it for 20 years and never get it serviced and it still runs and will keep pretty good time.

They don't make it anymore though the replacement is really a mod and improvement on that movt too.

LOL - yes, and Sheffield steel vs Swedish steel, and are all those #14's, whether Filarmonica, Henckels or Palmera all made from the same blanks?

Those details are only important and relevant to some as you say....

Here you go Brenngun - As close as I can get them. Sorry for the delay - been off the grid for a while taking care of matters....
