Picked this one up second hand, but by the looks of it I suspect it has never been worn..
So you are probably wondering, or not, why I bought a quartz watch when I am a confirmed mechanical watch WIS..
This particular watch is powered by the Seiko 6T63 calibre quartz movement which from what I understand is a 'mechaquartz'.. The stop watch function apparently has a separate drive system.. See www.mcbroom.biz/PMWF/Pulsar-World-Rally-chrono-updates.htm
So what that means from my perspective is that the stop watch sweep second hand is 5 beats per second.. just like a mechanical.. :small tu:
The subdials from left to right are stopwatch elapsed minutes, normal seconds, 24 hour.
This watch didn't pass the Conjurer lume test.. Could be because there is no lume.. 
The bracelet is folded link and 'rattles' with movement.. oh well, not the only watch ever sold with one of those.. that aside, it isn't pulling the hairs on my wrist..
6T63 SPECIFICATIONS
1 Frequency of crystal oscillator... 32,768 Hz (Hz = Hertz … Cycles per second)
2 Loss/gain (monthly rate)... ±20 seconds at normal temperature range (between 5° C

Liking it so far.. :small tu:
Cheers
