Hi may i know the price and where do you buy this?

This movement is a cheap ETA chrono movement. It's used on some swatch watches. I'm not comfortable with a movement with plastic parts in it.

The Le Locle looks nicer than the Powermatic! Thanks for pointing this model out. Certainly a nice versatile watch at an attractive price point.

Thanks to samfreak's fine recommendation, I got the tissot perpetual calendar tdy at a very affordable price. I saw and tried on the visodate, Sam is right it's not too nice, a bit plain and small. Saw the powermatic too but the casing too thick. Tried the Le Locle as well but still prefer the classic look of the tradition perpetual calendar. The Le Locle white face really looks sharp and nice. Another new model I saw that is very nice is the chronograph with yellow hands, but I felt the face abit too small for me. I have a big hand but small wrist so when I put on or take off the leather strap of the perpetual calendar I have sme difficulty.

Sam, i got to say you have good taste!

Confirm... And ceramic bezels (unlike aluminum ones) are not cheap (SUMMORE need to get from some source who can order from rolex)...

 

[rboyboy]

wait for ppl to buy the black one first, then launch to make ppl buy another, and another..

 

[Seannie]

Tissot perpetual calendar is even cheaper than visodate. $500+ can easily afford. Considering it Swiss made and looks nice, I think it's a value buy.

Nice hoots these past couple of days. Hope I can update my new piece here soon! HAGWE!

some of the speedmaster pro used to have a plastic brake

some of the speedmaster pro used to have a plastic brake

was it due to cost-saving or the plastic did serve a purpose?
