Lum Tec newbie here. I'm tempted to get a B-1. If given a choice, would you get the older discontinued manual wind or the new "Super Combat" with auto movement and why? :confused1:
Where one reads SCB2 in the quote above one can read SCB1 in my caseMy SCB2 is my watch-of-all-watches. I LOVE the fact that its winding mechanism is manual (as opposed to auto). Not only is it an accurate and rugged timepiece, it also makes a striking statement when on the wrist. The fact that it has a screw-down crown is an absolute non-issue for me, and I suspect that is the same for all SCB2 owners. The mere act of winding this watch each morning is like watch-Xanax. There is something very soothing and comforting about it, kinda like the purr of a cat. If I had to narrow my watch collection to only one timepiece, the SCB2 would be it.
