millerjohn 0 Posted April 3, 2011 Hi, I am about to buy a Ladies Omega speedmaster from Mary. According to her it has a swiss 9238 mechanic movement. Does anyone have experience with this movement? Is it reliable? Problem is, I can't find anything on this movement in the forum or on the web - only about a 9238 quartz movement. This is probably a typical noob's question, but I would really appreciate some guidance Thanks! John Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wizawuza 0 Posted April 3, 2011 what's the link to the watch? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
millerjohn 0 Posted April 3, 2011 No link to the watch, I asked Mary per mail wether she had such a watch and she found it for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KBH 7 Posted April 3, 2011 I think Mary's confused. The only Swiss 9238 movement that Google shows is a quartz. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
millerjohn 0 Posted April 3, 2011 yes, that's what got me confused too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KBH 7 Posted April 3, 2011 Generally, quartz movements are more suitable for women anyway. Most don't like the hassle of re-setting automatics. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
millerjohn 0 Posted April 3, 2011 This woman is different! ...and she wants a mechanic one.... Oh my god, I might fall in love again. Mary was adamant in her last email that it was mechanic not quartz - what do you suggest? Should I write her about my confusion? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greg_r 83 Posted April 4, 2011 Yes, I'd query it with her. The 9238 is definitely quartz - if it's an auto movement, it's something else... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Member X 91 Posted April 4, 2011 Send her a link to the website with the details of it being quartz, and perhaps get her to send a photo of the movement if possible! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
millerjohn 0 Posted April 4, 2011 Thanks, good idea, will do that. John Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Luthier 1 Posted April 4, 2011 Mary knows the difference between quartz and auto, but, maybe, she got the number of mov't model wrong. Factory could give her a wrong number. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Member X 91 Posted April 4, 2011 I reckon that is the case! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
