Can’t take this clickbait channel seriously when every video they post has “better than Rolex” in it’s caption. No wonder Padi doesn’t like this kind of trash.

Thank you Peter! I love coming to you your “classes”. As a younger watch enthusiast (early 30’s) it’s truly wonderful to read your posts and draw on your experience to learn where horology has come from and see the progress over the decades. Thank you!

Have to agree the majority of YouTube is nothing more than clickbait .

Vipes · 16 July 2022, 09:43 PM

Thanks for the informative post. I had a Lange Datograph and it was a slow beat movement (I think) but had a large balance wheel. Combination of large balance wheel with slower beat movement; would this make it as accurate as hi beat but less wear than hi beat?

Thank you Peter. These type posts are one of the reasons why I joined TRF back in the day

I wish I could retain a 1/10th of your knowledge

Just came across this post by Peter. Super informative. Love to know what is making my watch tick.

mountainjogger · 17 July 2022, 06:42 AM

Awesome. Padi. Thanks for taking the time.

padi56 · 17 July 2022, 05:35 PM

Thanks guys much appreciated glad some are still interested in these types of threads,instead of the norm on forum lately.

Bmats · 18 July 2022, 04:18 AM

This was really interesting and a nice Sunday diversion. Are the high beat movements more a thing for chronographs or does it apply to all watches with more complications where accuracy might be an issue? Or just all movements in general, with the theory that it can be beneficial with trade offs.

Vishy26 · 18 July 2022, 05:21 AM

Great read, thank you

1.Zenith Elprimo

3.Lemania 5100

4.Lemania 2310 Equal IMHO with Lemania, the Lange & Sohne L951

5.Valjoux 7750 range.

Don't forget the Longines 688 column wheel, Omega 9900 and Breitling B01!

Love your post! I enjoy reading them very much.

I disagree about PP I have a slow beat PP aqua knocked it plenty of time for 22 years never had a problem PP gets a bad rap about durability

Personally, this is exactly what Rolex stands for.
