Added on March 26, 2011, 9:49 pmhave you seen the Tissot Sculpture line? they have some nice PRDs...
http://www.tissot.ch/?mod_collections/acti...5_627_76_057_00@nando Thank you for your suggestion

Hope I haven't been guilty of reviving your PR bug! I think you mean this:

Specs indicate Unitas 6498 movement - not keen to wind watch manually, at the moment! But movement apart, I think I still like Mido designs generally (the ones within the below RM4,000 price range) over Tissot's. But I will agree that the Tissot Visodate is one of the better looking watches at that price point though I'll still lean towards the Mido Commander at the below RM2,000 price region. The oversized numerals as well as the guilloché pattern on the Tissot Sculpture Line (Power Reserve) doesn't appeal to me presently, but I'm sure I will grow to like patterned ones someday when I get bored of 'plainer' designs. Ah, reading this thread is like playing with fire

BTW, nice compendium of movement info
here - what watchmakers are using as both their movements and base movements.

Looked up Mido on the web since there was some talk about it a few posts back. Quite impressed with the movement grade and design.
Found Mido Baroncelli Chrono going for cheap
here. Website looks a bit dubious though, wonder if anyone has bought from them before?
Indeed the result of my research after having trawled through the internet (including the sifus ck77 and patryn33 here) - Mido represents value for money. But like they say, buy whichever watch you like to wear on your wrist

I saw the website you linked too, and have the same doubts. The prices are rather attractive. Hopefully somebody has had experience with them and can share with us here. Looked up PayPal and here's the result:
