I think that the comparison is not exact. A Swiss handmade or at least craftsmanship watch is not more efficient than a Japanese quartz one. But variations may be almost infinity. My Omega Speedmaster has to be manually wired every day and it's outrageously inexact. My Rolex is a Oysterquartz one and it's really very accurate. So any of my Japanese quartz Casio are more exact than the Omega. On the other hand my Junghang German radio connected to atomic radio watch is,I live in the middle of somewhere, once a day, the most accurate of all. Nothing, Japanese or not, is better than my M Leica lenses. And if you find a Titanium Leica as to be very expensive just ask for the price of a Breguet tourbillion skeleton. Regards Felix
