Magnificent Time Piece!!
The 96B175 Precisionist is an excellent watch, beautiful to look at, and it is one of the most accurate, if not THE most accurate watch in the world. I never thought I would buy, let alone have, and love, a quartz watch. This isn't just any quartz watch. The main tell is the second hand, which is ticking so fast it looks like a sweep second hand. It is a "beefy" watch, but it never feels heavy to me, like some others. I'm not sure why this is, but I can wear the watch for a 12 hour work day and it never seems in the way or heavy. The one single drawback for me with the 96B175 is the crystal. I would have thought a sapphire mineral crystal would have been a no-brainer. I have a scratch in mine, which could have been avoided by using the industry standard for better watches.
