Many watch collectors simply won't own a quartz watch, accuracy be damned. Here at Burdeen's Jewelry, we implore you to give them a shot again. Most watch people owned them, at least during their formative years thanks to their ease of use. In addition, quartz movements like the Grand Seiko Calibre 9F contained in the SBGX259 push the value envelope so far into many collectors' watch boxes. If a Breitling Superquartz is too garish; if a Omega's quartz models seemed like they were pale imitations of their automatic models, the heart of the SBGX259 should be squarely in the Goldilocks Zone for you. 

Believe it or not, the Calibre 9F actually samples the temperature 540 times per day and adjusts the crystal to compensate for the temperature. Does your mechanical watch do that? Sure it's handmade, but don't think it takes into account the temperature in the air. This temperature trick, coupled with countless others, keeps a guaranteed run time for Grand Seiko quartz watches like this SBGX259 to only +/-10 seconds per YEAR - not per day or month - year. 

Grand Seiko's 9F is a masterpiece in its own right and the SBGX259 is a beautiful case to house it in. With understate white dial, Zaratsu polishing for a shiny mirror finish and hairline surfaces, this is the watch to wear for years. Yes, it's a quartz, and that's exactly why you should wear it with pride.
