Don’t get screwed … get blued screws
One feature that I really like on automatic watches is an exposed movement where you can see the real timekeeping taking place. This may sound a little childish but it is mesmerizing to me to watch the “action” and know that all the parts are working in unison to create the proper time on the face of the watch. Maybe I am easily humored but it seems to me that the fact that all the parts in a watch work at all is close to a miracle. One of the aesthetic features of some watches are blued screws in the movement. While these blued screws do not serve any technical enhancement, they can be attractive. And NO, someone does not sit with a blue felt tip pen and dab the heads of the screws
LOL. Actually, the process is complicated and does add to expense of your desired watch. Now I know some of you are saying “I did get screwed by my watch with blued screws because it never works right and the manufacturer screwed me blue on the repair.” If that’s the case, check this out.
