Kiterpete Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 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. Pete KiterPete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiterpete Posted April 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 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.

KiterPete 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vric Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 (edited) Manual Omega Speedmasters (Moonwatch or Broad Arrow) are great watches too. Hard to find now.. Edited April 2, 2008 by vric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
