Manual Mind

[Kiterpete]

New to RWG and having only placed one order with Andrew I'm now looking to buy a manual wind watch, either basic or chrono. Based on what I have researched here it seems the (best) choices for movements are:

Swiss Unitas with Swan Neck

Lemania

ETA 6497-1

Can someone please me with the pros and con's of these movements.

Appreciate any help.

I could please you if your Mind is Automatic and not Manual~!

BTW: Welcome to RWG! And about manual wind watches???? Depends on the model, so you have to specify.

Opps - Right, grammatical error there.........

Watch choices would be:

Panerais

IWC Pilot/Railmaster/FA Jones

Andrew recommends the Swiss Unitas in the panerais, not mistrusting his expertise just looking for opinions on all three movements.

Andrew is right, although I also have the Asians on a couple of Panerais and they seem to be okay! On the other brands, sorry I can't help you, I only have manual winds on Panerais!

Use the Search Button and maybe you would come up with something helpful! Goodluck!

Manual Omega Speedmasters (Moonwatch or Broad Arrow) are great watches too.

Hard to find now..
