Very nice layout, but maybe a bit small.
I find the IWC nicer thanks to the bigger size which gives more visibility to the dial and especially chronograph readings.
However, what about servicing? Is it possible to service the quartz part of the watch? I read that the master quartz were extremely hard (impossible?) to service.
Have you an idea on that subject?

I guess the Swiss watch industry has little interest...
In ensuring these remain around forever. Have heard of several brands that simply offer you a discount on a new watch if your quartz movement dies or starts developing difficulties.
I get the point in terms of them wanting to burry that part of history and in terms of simplifying their maintenance requirements but from an owner's perspective it's not ideal. Especially if the watch - as they tend to do - has acquired emotional significance for the owner over the years.

Apart changing the battery
Honestly I never even thought to service the watch.
Years after the purchase, I had a small problem with the mechanical chronograph module and I brought it to an IWC AD. I got it back repaired, with a letter of excuse from the manufacturer and free of charge....chapeau!
