alterego Posted April 4, 2019 Report Share Posted April 4, 2019 I just cannot afford the real thing and this is not a bad choice when you want a gen rather than the rep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
automatico Posted April 4, 2019 Report Share Posted April 4, 2019 Oniss also had a Prez look-alike with Eta 2834 similar to the Bulova Super Seville.

automatico Posted April 5, 2019 Report Share Posted April 5, 2019 "Liking the Bulova better." Me too. I was scratching around in my project box and found a Mido Commander 'Prez' with Eta 2834 and dark red dial with acrylic crystal. Forgot about having it. It looks almost new (with box) but has the common 'Mido Ailment'...case tube/crown gasket fell apart, it is made out of cork. There is one on eBay...item number 352633834389 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted April 7, 2019 Report Share Posted April 7, 2019 I followed the Super Sevilles for a while, 3-4 years ago and would have picked one up if I could have found a good one in the $300-500 range. Of course you have to realize that you might have to spend another $100 servicing it since these watches are 20-40 years old. The 2834 movements are typically 17 jewels- not as nice as the current 2834-2s with 25 jewels. I finally went out and built a 118239 knock-off with a DJ case and a swiss 2834-2 that I had. I prefer the oyster band to the President's band and this watch cost me less than $400 to build. I do recall seeing that nostalgia2000- Clarks had what appeared to be an Asian 2834-2 for a good price a while back, that and some parts from Rafflesdials.com and it would be a fairly easy build.
