splke 4,376 Posted September 27, 2017 probably done loads of times but not lately and I wondered on current prices what is the cheapest brand new watch with a gen swiss mechanical movement ? make model and where from please ? I am a little obsessed 1 with bargains and 2 with swiss eta's (humour me it is just part of the disease) 249 Euros (they do ETA chronos for 600 Eu) I will start it off with this ugly bastard (it has a prettier stable mate) saying that I still almost ordered it ! https://www.uhr.info/en/Three-Hand-watches-from-UHR/UHR-613.html I Like this at 299 Eu Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

splke 4,376 Posted September 27, 2017 I would disclude the swatch as I think it is a sealed weird movement , but it is a swiss mech so fair point the Glycine is an absolute steal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Monkey_Business 0 Posted September 27, 2017 I forgive you. That first one looks YUMMY though - I never liked kickstarter watches, but that one really got me. Movement looks beast too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
porschespeedster 19 Posted September 28, 2017 that Glycine for rep money is real nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tonyh7 223 Posted September 28, 2017 Glycine is the pick of the bunch above - decent make and nice military style. Another option is Steinhart which start at eu380 for a classic diver style watch. When looking at prices from places like Creation Jomashop you have to add in the likely import duties and fees - I'd guess about 40 - 50 quid on those prices.
