Why am I not surprised :D

This one would most likely be my fav as well :)



The key word :D


Whats funny, at least too me. The order of the watches are from my cheapest to my most expensive. They are also in order from when I bought them and the order of my fav from least to most. They are also worn from the most to the least, in the picture. :wink:

388. I wont buy anything high end unless its an in house movement. Not that it makes it better, it just means to me the company took time to MAKE a watch, not just assemble one.

Of all the radiomir cases I've owned, the 190 was my favorite. It had the JLC 8 days movement before Panerai started producing their own.

For your price range, worth checking out Timefactors. Some solid designs, though buying one is a bit of a pain with a small time window. Lots of reviews on YouTube too - http://timefactors.com/

Honestly most of the brands outsource through the wider group. A large drive to inhouse for basic movements was to find alternatives to ETA. A downside is also being tied to send back to manufacturer to service - and the brands are getting pricey. I'm over the whole in-house - I'll look for quality of finishing and if they're trying to do something special.

I have one! Cracking watch, with the most buttery smooth manual wind. The only watch I've tried with a nicer wind cost over 50k!

Needs a service though - that will not be cheap I fear.....

My Hamilton stopped working, since they are part of the Swatch group, getting that done was cheaper than my Panerai. I took the Hamilton to the service center, my Panerai I had done by a local watch maker. $600 for the Panerai, just over $300 for the Hamilton. Since Swatch owns ETA, they just put a new movement in.

You just gave me extra reasons to take a look at that photo once more and study it more carefully now :D
