MDK 0 Posted October 9, 2016 Here is a question that pops up is and again. I have a coupe of pennies spare so thought I would buy myself a cheap gen. It needs to be 41mm plus in size, ideally chrono or other complication, dressy or sports I am easy I can get a speedy but only the smaller cased 7750. Seems a few bits on the bay, but like all of these things I am sure there is a lot out there I don't know exists for around that price. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MDK 0 Posted October 9, 2016 Got my eye on a couple of longines master collection, particularly fond of the perpetual calendar. They also do a column wheel chrono for pretty good money, for not a lot more than I budgeted can grab one of those new Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rikracy 1,693 Posted October 9, 2016 A Russian hooker for the weekend!!!! I'd personally go for a brand new Longines Hydro Conquest chrono..a lot of watch for the money and they look the biz! Imho!

Most automatic movements don't actually cost a lot to manufacture, even in gens, I think whether it's auto or Quartz the market always dictates the price. I mean panerias use a what, $600 6497-2 eta movement but because it's in a panerai it costs more. RRP dictates the price I guess Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Although still new to the whole thing I think is if these reps we buying can be made and sold for prices we are paying it just shows that gen wise is all aristocracy. It is to distinguish higer from lower hence ridiculous prices on watches. I suggest you get 3 to 4 reps for that money and enjoy the variety Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
