Product Information

If I have any specific complaints about the construction, it would be that the watch bands are a little chintzy in the leather department and there is something about the edge of the case, where it meets the crystal that makes it resemble a powder coated, yet durable mint tin. Pros There are a number of watches and watch brands that are likely to increase in value, or at least keep value, over time. To start with the last one, it seems that the all-time classics (or “iconic” watches, if you wish) are the ones that keep their value to a certain extent. Even though some of them can be bought at a bit of a discount, or do not have waiting lists as long as some others do, they have proven to be a stable “investment,” so to speak. I did some coverage on these all-time classics in part one.

I like quartz watches. I see no need for the pretense of winding and taking care of a mechanical watch. My beef with Rolex, and Omega, is that they all seem to look the same, and they are like cars, they lose value the minute you drive them off the lot. I wouldn’t turn my nose up on an Omega Presidential however, but I digress. Why bother with all of that when a tiny battery runs the entire watch? Quartz watches are just better, and it begs the question of how interesting Rolex would be today had they continued their research with Quartz watches? I love reading about the ultra expensive watches, but do these people really wear them? Unless you are a Russian oligarch, or a prince of Monaco, I would say no. Look and feel great. Although the SOKI Field Watch fulfills the promise that it looks like a field watch, I was kind of expecting and hoping for more. More rugged, more … in the trenches.If a brand changes its strategy a bit — like, for example, the relatively new brand Linde Werdelin did over the last few years — you might be betting on some of the models that the brand started out with. Models such as the One, Two-Timer and 3-Timer watches can be very interesting to acquire, as they are now still relatively easy to find. Linde Werdelin is still growing quite a bit, doing an amazing job in a higher segment than the one in which it started. It might be the case that some people will go after those early models when the brand starts really taking off. This also goes for other brands that are in a similar flow, of course, i.e., brands that are still in their early days.

That’s great you enjoy collecting Bulova. However, I think you have made the mistake of believing what holds value for you is somehow superior to other choices. Patek Philippe & Rolex are far more than just brand names. They, and other prestigious watch companies, have long histories and important legacies. And I’m no expert, but I don’t think Bulova “has a watch history unmatched in the horology world.” Fortunately, we don’t wear watches merely for their accuracy. Your contention that “quartz watches are just better,” to me means, quartz watches are better for you. Others, like me, appreciate mechanical watches – the history, the engineering, the design, the quality and the craftsmanship. I wasn’t aware that Rolex and Omega all “look the same.” Look again. And there is no “pretense” in winding and taking care of a mechanical watch. Collectors enjoy handling their watches, marveling at their beauty & setting the time. A fine mechanical watch can be handed down to future generations. Let’s see how long the finest quartz watch lasts? It’s a throw away proposition. When the quartz movement goes bad, they usually throw it out and put a new one in, as long as they have something that will still work. I do have a few quartz watches & I like them, but I think you are confusing “best” with “price point.” The article was about what watch brands will increase in value. The answer is overwhelmingly and almost exclusively, mechanical watches. Reply If you take that into account, there are a number of watch brands that will give you a decent chance on increasing your watch’s value over time. Now let’s do a rundown on a few brands that you need to keep an eye on for the long term.The dial face of the SOKI Field Watch clearly states that it is supposed to be water resistant up to 200m which is actually very ambitious for this class of timepiece. 200M resistance would suggest that you can do everything short of scuba diving, and there appears to be some debate over that as well, depending on which chart you consult. Keep accurate time.I have not had to , after a month’s time reset the time on the SOKI Field Watch. Being a quartz movement I expect to not have to reset the time very often, and so far the SOKI Field Watch has delivered without fail.
