Set screw
Something I told a couple Gentlemen under my post, after replacing 4 batteries in some of my watches , I decided since I only wear one at a time , was that I pulled the set screw out on the rest of my watches to save the batteries. While I understand that you will have to reset your watch each time , I think it’s worth saving the battery life and wear and tear on the watch when your not wearing it, Just some food for thought

RMRS resource note: Pulling the crown to the stop position does halt the quartz movement and save the battery, that part checks out. One risk worth knowing: without a stopper clip between the case and crown, Esslinger's watch parts guide notes it can get bumped back in during storage and start running again unnoticed, which defeats the purpose. If you're doing this long-term, a dedicated battery stopper clip (cheap, sold in sets) is more reliable than friction alone.
Movado: Low End Luxury or High End Fashion
I always considered Movado to be a high end fashion brand not to be included in the low end/introductory luxury watch category. Then they introduced the 800 Series promoted by celebrities like Tom Brady and Derek Jeter and increasing the price to the $1500 range, but my biggest objection to the brand was the heavy use of quartz rather than automatic movements even though they were Swiss Made. I was gifted a rose gold Movado Verso Bold which I considered a little bit more gaudy than my normal taste, but having given it a reasonable wrist time I’ve learned to really appreciate it’s quality and beauty as the dark green dial works well with the rose gold finish. How does the group perceive of the brand? Now that they have greatly expanded their automatic line I view the brand more favorably and I really do enjoy wearing my Verso, I’m not quite ready to view the brand as introductory luxury and not high end fashion.

Worth noting: the quartz-vs-automatic mix doesn't affect whether Movado legally qualifies as Swiss Made. Per the Federation of the Swiss Watch Industry, the label just requires 60% of production value and final inspection to happen in Switzerland — mechanical or quartz movements both qualify under the same rule. So the brand tier question is really about design positioning and movement sourcing (in-house vs. ETA/Sellita), not the Swiss Made claim itself. Your Verso's rose gold/green combo sounds like a keeper either way.

Citizen Attesa or Eco-drive
Yesterday, I was looking at several Citizen watches that I’m considering adding to my collection. However, I never owned watches ones which have solar-powered quartz movement, radio-controlled time synchronization with a titanium case and bracelet. Therefore, I’d like to solicit the expertise from the community and get their feedback on these types of watches.

RMRS resource note: for Attesa/Eco-Drive with Atomic Timekeeping, Citizen's own spec sheet is worth checking before you buy: these models self-sync to radio time signals and are rated accurate to within 1 second over roughly 20 million years when synced, and Eco-Drive runs on any light source so the battery is never replaced. Titanium cases also run noticeably lighter than steel on the wrist — worth trying on both if comfort matters to you.

WOTD: Saturday Scare with Vince
I think the seal might be failing as I’m noticing dust between the dial and crystal 😢

RMRS resource note: dust between dial and crystal usually means the crystal gasket has hardened or shrunk, not a dead movement. Seiko confirms water resistance depends on gasket aging and recommends regular checks since gaskets can deteriorate over time. Get a watchmaker to pop the crystal, replace the gasket (cheap, 15-20 dollars), and pressure test before swimming or showering with it again.
