The Watch Thread - Part 3

[Jeremy1]

Iwc using ETA not worth the price.

70% of the watch brands using ETA movement so I think it's all depend of individual.

The most important thing is the watch smile on you.

 

[fabiaN__]

Zenith watches pricing are more worthwhile as compare to some other watches which I feel it's over price.

And they are using inhouse movement.

Yeah, the Open Star model uses the El Primero movement. But maybe not buying it now.. budget for more important things first.. the watch is meant for my gf.. hehe

so anyone into chinese watches here? thinking of getting this piece

uses beijing SB18-3P movement, anyone got any knowledge of this movement? any good?

 

[boysdontcryy]

This is so beautiful.
How much did you pay for it

Thanks. More than I'd like to admit. The Lange boutique at Ion quoted 65,000 SGD. I purchased it because there was a very significant discount from the quotation. Got it somewhere else.

not a clone lah, just similar in theme and color scheme lor, take a look, it's very reasonably priced but of course it ain't a tudor heritage chrono...am sure the finishing and QC on the Tudor will be superior.
