ngomong2 soal jam tangan, sempet nyesel juga waktu ditawarin jam tangan sama habe malah gua tolak. soalnya waktu jalan2 di pvj habe nanya gini "lu suka koleksi jam tangan ngga?". karena dasarnya gua jujur, ya gua jawab ngga, karena gua emang ngga gitu suka ngoleksi jam tangan (saat itu).
tapi entah kenapa, mungkin gara2 waktu gua ke swiss bini gua titip dibeliin swatch, gua jadi ikutan tertarik beli jam tangan. di itung2 sekarang gua ada 3 jam tangan, swatch yg gua beli di atas laut baltik (di dalem pesawat soalnya), mido yg dikasih kakak ipar (ngga pernah dipake lagi, modelnya kayak bapak2, padahal gold plated), sama satu lagi timex yg gua pake sekarang. buat gua 3 jam tangan udah kebanyakan soalnya yg dipake ya itu lagi itu lagi. kenapa gua suka pake yg timex padahal bukan jam mahal, karena bisa 2 mode waktu. jadi kalo gua ke luar negri ngga perlu cape2 nyetel jam lagi. cuman yg timex ini sebenernya nyebelin, belom setaon udah 2x rusak, untung masih garansi. rusaknya karena jatoh sih. jarumnya tiba2 brenti. cuman gua ngga puas aja, soalnya ini tipe 'expedition' yg konon di iklannya sih antishock, yg kalo di casio dilabeli g-shock. amerika emang ngga becus bikin jam tangan kayaknya. dalam dunia jam tangan dikenal 2 "movement" yg terkenal: swiss movement sama japan movement. japan movement sendiri ada 2 sistem (atau manufacturer atau patent, entah lah) yaitu miyota yg dipake citizen dan hattori yg dipake seiko. swiss movement dan japan movement masing2 punya kelebihan dan kekurangan. swiss movement konon lebih presisi, dan japan movement lebih durable. tapi sebenernya secara overall kualitasnya sama bagusnya. cuman karena masalah 'prestige', yg swiss movement biasanya relatif lebih mahal daripada japan movement. konon lagi, kalo mau bedain apakah jam tangan kita swiss movement atau jap movement (kalau ngga ada tulisannya) bisa dicek dengan cara menarik tombol pengatur jarum. kalo pas ditarik detiknya ngga mati, itu japan movement. kalo ditarik detiknya mati, itu swiss movement. kalo ditarik trus diteken lagi semuanya mati, itu china movement. satu lagi fakta mengenai jam tangan. kita biasa mengenal istilah "jewel" alias batu dalam dunia jam tangan. dulu gua bingung, jam yg luarnya kagak ada batu permatanya koq dibilang 21 jewels. ternyata itu bukan batu hiasan, tapi batu yg dipake buat bearing di dalem mekanik jam yg ukurannya mikroskopis itu. batu permata yg dipake biasanya ruby. bearing itu dibuat dari batu karena relatif lebih tahan aus daripada bearing baja, selain itu juga lebih ringan dlm dimensi yg sama. dan harga jam import itu akan semakin mahal jika jewel (alias batu bearing) nya semakin banyak. karena semakin banyak bearing berarti semakin banyak fiturnya (chrono, date, day, perpetual, dsb.) dan rumit, dan semakin sulit dibuat jam tersebut. tapi gua lagi bicara jam analog ya. kalo jam digital mah bisa dibilang relatif murah semua karena ngga pake bearing alias jewel, biarpun bisa kelap kelip dan ada gps nya. --- In proletar@yahoogroups.com, Musik hari Ini wrote: > > Buat saya jam tangan terbaik didunia bukan rolex...atau yll > > pernah denger Seiko5 kinetik? > saya dapet warisan dari keluarga peninggalan alm bapak,tidak ada jam tangan > sekaliber seiko....tak pernah rusak...tak pernah ngaco...tak pernah berhenti > seirama dengan jiwa....tidak pernah mati...water proof,tak pernah > > ganti tali.....tahan gores......tahan benturan18 tahun dipergelangan tidak > pernah lepas kalau mandi&sabunan.....siapa pengguna seiko5 diPROL? > > ========== > Various Seiko watches were worn by the cinematic James Bond 007 in four films > starring Roger Moore from 1977 to 1985.
