praetor Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 (edited) short answer: no long answer: never There are quartz minute repeaters for gen seiko or something but they suck. You might want to consider buying pocket watches that have the minute repeater function if you want to play around with the complication.

ubiquitous Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 Me likey! As an aside... Chronoswiss makes a relatively affordable repeater... The Repetition a Quarts. Think you can get one under $10k or so (either discounted or pre-owned)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
