mnml 0 Posted August 21, 2014 Ok, so SW200 is the best, but how would you guys compare budget versions? I'm more interested in build quality than in accuracy... So the first one, the reg one and I also found this one: http://www.rwg.bz/bo...showtopic=75850 (quite cheap on btc, but not sure if I want to start with btc just to buy a watch.. easier to send reg a mail and be done with it ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There been a new version released with a Miyota movement which is better finished with a more accurate dial. Check out my full review here.... http://www.rwg.bz/board/index.php?showtopic=82449&hl=&fromsearch=1 But the best news is the Miyota is almost half the price of the SW200!!!!!!!!!! So there ya go, the Miyota is the new kid in town and he's very impressive, I liked it so much I have two!! DC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mnml 0 Posted August 21, 2014 (edited) Great review, thx! But it makes me want to wait, so they can get those hands right Do you think they will ever do that, or there is no point in waiting? Edited August 21, 2014 by mnml Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gmtaddict 1 Posted August 22, 2014 I own two SW200 versions, so at first I was also planning to wait for an improved model, but based on DC's feedback, I think I'm going to get a Miyota and swap the hands from a cheap 21J I also have..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So has anyone actually done the hand transplant yet? I have the new Miyota but no donor parts. Would gladly buy a cheapie to do it, just don't want to be the first to attempt it and then F it up.

Cicero did it, but I saw he put it on sale a couple days ago, so don't know who the new owner is... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
herb 0 Posted September 3, 2014 Cicero did it, but I saw he put it on sale a couple days ago, so don't know who the new owner is... ...and we don't know if there is a correlation between the mod and wanting to get rid of the watch. Just kidding! I did not see it, unfortunately. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
