Looking for the best quartz...

Recommended Posts

mikeran

Hello all. I am thinking about my next rep already. I'm leaning towards getting a quartz movement mainly because of reliability. I haven't decided on a brand yet, so here's my question. Are there any brands that look extra good that also come with quartz movements? I know the quartz is much cheaper, so I'd like to avoid getting something that looks like crap. I want it to look as amazing as possible, because it will likely get tons of wrist time. Any ideas?

Another vote for the TAG Aquaracer 300m Grande Date as best quartz (I know of for now) good looks, gen-like feel and same movement/function as the gen with spinning 1/10th secs at 6 for 1 minute than 12 hour stopwatch counter - there are other nice ones but either they are unlike gen - or the lume isn´t good or they have a big ticking seconds hand or...... on this one everything matches - and it´s shockproof:

At 1/2 the cost You get a Hublot Fusion Chrono from Kuvarsit - no lume at all, no ticking seconds hand at all (subdials are minute counter and 24 hour counter), main second hands sweeps as it´s a microstepper when using the chrono, otherwise it´s stopped at 12, great SS bracelet with full and 1/2 links with screws. I´d recommend to take a look at the Kuvarsit quartz selection anyway, specially if You are going for chronos - look at those with "same caseset as with A7750 movement".

I'm loving these Aquaracers pictured. What is the largest face Tag has on a watch? It looks like 44mm. Am I right?
