Can you afford Credor Kuon?
>>18468757
Yeah, it's BS. In the 80's a lot of Credors were marketed as jewelry with precious metals and stones. Old steel quartz Credors are affordable now, because there's not enough hype outside of Japan for them and they're quartz.
While finishing was rarely on the level of Grand Seiko, movement argument is weak as well: all non-complicated movements from mid range Alpinist with 4s15 all the way to high end 9s55 were essentially the same movement based on the Daini 52 from the early 70s with different levels of finishing and adjustment. Those were later phased out by 4L25 variations in the 2010s Guess what the modern High-beat 9s86 is based on?
And what about Credor's 6S chronograph series? Is it sloppy seconds too? Well TAG Heuer didn't think so and paid out of their ass to acquire the rights to it.
