alphakazi Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 it's true greg's cheap actually speaking of which, it would be nice to see more reviews of super cheap watches - there are so many - I'm sure there are some really good ones - my $108 sub from Josh is proof. I noticed that most take lame pictures of their cheapo 21J's without showing any details - we should make some type of review thread (or section if we have contact with blade) showing all the best of the best sub $110 watches (I think there is a sub $150 thread in this forum) - I'm sure there is alot of junk out there as well. a few nice ones that come to mind... greg's B&R my beginnermariner Oscars VC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure that my B&R would qualify, though - it doesn't appear to be generally available at the moment and would probably be mid-price if it was (it's got a 28,800 movement - it's not one of the 21J versions). There are so many good cheap reps around these days, though - the VC, quite a few Breguets, Rollies, APs, Tags - even some of the quartz stuff... I've yet to see a decent cheap PAM, though, which is kinda odd.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alphakazi Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 $42. MGI, $42? dayymn - is that a 21J in that PAM? oh btw greg... no quartz need apply - it is, by far, the largest tell for a rep (with the rare exception of some gen quartz like the colt or whatever but even a gen peoplel think is fake) for me the real beauty of a watch is it's mechanical wonder and while quartz is mechanical, it is also electronic - and electronics take all the wonder away - may as well use a digital face while your at it I'm not against electronics either - I'm a computer hardware nutzor but not for a watch. the cheapest $10 mechanical movement > quartz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg_r Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 MGI, $42? dayymn - is that a 21J in that PAM? the cheapest $10 mechanical movement > quartz When we're talking chronos, I disagree vehemently. 21js are completely unsatisfactory for that kinda watch. 'faux' chronos that move with the day of the week are a big tell. They also suck big time.... lol - constantly running chrono hands drive me nuts. That Tag mentioned by Oscar elsewhere has running seconds on an inset wheel - the 'ticking' of a quartz movement will only be apparent if actually running the chronos. Of course, if you go for the 21 J version, you don't have that option Seriously - 21js are great for anything without a chrono, but if you want chronos on the cheap, quartz is the only movement that makes sense. That's not to say that I do not share your distaste for quartz - it's the reason why all but one of my cheapies are non-chrono watches running 21Js. Oh - and yes, it's a 21J in the PAM. I've seen 'em as low as $30. All junk, though, sadly... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alphakazi Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 if you want a cheap working chrono only the A7750 will do what do you need to time anyhow? almost no one uses their chrono's but respect - to each his own - I'll keep ranting against quartz though - I'll get through sooner or later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg_r Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 if you want a cheap working chrono only the A7750 will do Ah - now you're talking - I agree, but 7750's ain't that cheap. We were talking about cheapie watches, in which you have a choice between 21J and quartz.... If you want the watch to work, you'll buy the latter. what do you need to time anyhow? almost no one uses their chrono's hmm - funnily enough, the only reason that I bought my AP quartz was simply that I DO occasionally find a chrono useful, but I didn't want to spend a lot of money on it. I don't wear it often, though... That Tag we were arguing err.... talking about - the choice is between cheapie quartz or 21J at well under $100. Or spending $300 on the 7750. Not really the same ballpark. but respect - to each his own - I'll keep ranting against quartz though - I'll get through sooner or later Don't bet on it. It's the only sub $100 option for chronos, like it or not. By the way - those $108 watches you posted above are all available for rather less if you hunt around....
