I’m in the market for a skeleton automatic with a metal bracelet for under $500. The only one I have found so far to my liking is the bulova classic but I would prefer something with a sapphire crystal but that may take things way out of my price range.
That’s pretty nice. The name kills me though. I know everybody is making it in China now but I can’t do an all China watch. I’m not sure if you still can but a few years back you could get a Chinese tourbillion for a little under $500.
Pretty sure all the chinese “tourbillons” are just flywheels or balance wheels.
Good quality stuff can come from china if it’s not a crap replica or other low quality manufactured device.
I head the movement was pretty good for the price, I waited to get mine on sale for less than $400.
Ven, the funny thing is all of a sudden my clock has been getting a signal reliably for the past couple of weeks. I’ve owned this clock for about a year now and it almost never connected. It doesn’t make sense. I’m not complaining!
Nice HMT that you have. I started to look at them on ebay but apparently there are many fakes and “franken” so I’m not too confident (although they look good), plus they don’t seem to have the least water resistance?
Be carefull, Amphibias are addictive! When you start looking for custom bezels, relumed hands and dials you’re on the slope.
Yes, many of the HMTs are franken / refurbished out there. This white pilot was a limited edition of 500 pieces (a project started on WUS years ago) so I knew what I was going for.
