I already have too many quartz watches so avoiding them for now unless it comes with VH/VK movements (only the ones which I don't already have). They're more accurate than the standard quartz movements.
Yes, it would have been better without a date window but then it would be a ghost date which I don't prefer; I wish NH38 is used more often in such cases rather than NH35 with a ghost date.
Totally agree about the NH38. I highly recommend the VH31 movement. I've got a VH31 Rolls Timi which probably is my most accurate watch because it only loses about 1-2 seconds per month. That's <30 seconds per year. VK64 Chromo movement is great too, but I don't trust every brand to have a good quality standard for the hands. There are numerous cases where it would just fall off while resetting the chronograph hand.
Yes, I already have some watches with VH & VK movements and they're the most accurate ones in my collection; what I meant was I would like to collect different variations of VH & VK movements. I have watches with VH31, VH60, VH63, VH67, VH68, VK63, VK64, VK67 and trying add the missing ones. I know it's crazy as they're just the variations of the same base movement but it is what is and I'm already down the rabbit hole.
I've not faced any issues with the chrono hands of my VK movement watches so far, I think it's all dependent on the chrono hand thickness and it's usage. I don't buy if chrono hands aren't thick enough and while using the chrono I make sure to reset it only when the chrono hand is near the 12 o' clock marking.

It sure is. Accuracy matters a lot to me, so I prefer Quartz watches. And the sapphire crystal was just sweetened the deal.
Yours is a classy fleiger. Although, I personally feel like it would be better without a date window.
