Joshle 0 Posted January 31, 2013 Thanks a lot guys! I am mostly looking for non complicated watches, like a Patek Calatrava or something similar, when I look on the TD list i see that these kind of watches are not super expensive, do you guys know why? Should I be worried of getting one? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wriggles 12 Posted February 1, 2013 Calatrava's are quite simple non-chrono non complicated watches showing just time and date. I expect they are using therefore simpler movements and a lot of quartz ones I noticed, so therefore the movements are cheaper and the watches are cheaper. Not knowing much about them but looking at the various one's available this would be my conclusion, be it right or wrong Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
houndoggie 58 Posted February 1, 2013 There is no correlation between cost of the genuine and the rep. The biggest determining factor for rep price is movement type. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

trailboss99 994 Posted February 1, 2013 Nice but small as Ding said, only 35mm dia. And yes BTW, rep leather straps are often crap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joshle 0 Posted February 1, 2013 ok thanks for the input, so it is basically a substantial investment, $250 for the watch plus shipping then a new strap prob from Serge at $100... Even Silix leather strap are crap at this price? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

trailboss99 994 Posted February 1, 2013 Lots of quality straps around for less than that, $30 will buy a decent strap from Strap Boys or International Watchman etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joshle 0 Posted February 1, 2013 Thanks Trailboss! I guess I was looking at the wrong TD then! Since you seem to know about straps I posted on the general forum a thread about roadster Cartier Straps, any idea where to find these? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
