with my budget 400 + . can i get and automatic watch ?? which brand and type or model should i get ??

Slowpoke but this is so poisonous.

Nice but  to the piggy back DD module.

Surely not an elegant solution but some folks say it doesn't matter, ROO also same approach and doesn't matter since RSC doing the service.

What's your take on this?

hi guys. Just wanted to ask.. Whats the difference between Quartz movement and Automatic..? which one do you prefer..? can state reason..? kindly enlighten me.. Been searching for watches but didnt know that there are difference in those watches.

If you ask me my budget. It would be best if its around 300-600 range. How's Bulova brand..? thanks in advance !

nvicta and the 'Far East'

Evidence suggests that Invicta watches are manufactured by subcontractors, a practice common in the industry. IWG's market share is big enough to allow them to competitively offer original designs rather than rebranded stock OEM catalogue items. And by having watches built to order in both Switzerland and China, Invicta are able to offer an enormous and constantly changing product range from budget quartz fashion watches to Swiss made certified chronometers. The Swiss models, like the company logo bearing the Swiss flag and 1837 date, are important for maintaining market awareness of the heritage of the name. However it is the Chinese-made watches that provide the bulk of IWG's watch production.

Miyota-powered mechanical watches were a staple part of the collection until recently, when Invicta switched to Seiko/TMI automatics. However any Invicta mechanical watch with more than basic function (apart from automatic chronographs) can be assumed to have a Chinese movement. Quartz powered Invictas have usually had ETA movements made either in Switzerland or Thailand, although increasingly Invicta have been favouring Ronda for special function quartz watches.

Invicta often brands non-Swiss, non-Japanese movements as Technica Swiss Ebauches, though the movements are Chinese in origin. It is helpful for enthusiasts to note that if their Invicta watch is marked 'Swiss Made' it is Swiss Made; if it is marked 'Swiss Movement' then the movement is Swiss and the rest is likely Chinese and assembled in China; and if any other usage of the word 'Swiss' is used (e.g. 'Technica Swiss Ebauches') then there is unlikely to be any significant Swiss content.

The quality of Chinese made, Chinese movement Invictas continues to improve. Currently, the most common source for Chinese movements in Invicta watches is Sea-Gull.

Hi guys,

With a budget of 2.5-3k. What kind of watch brand would be advisable to get?

Since DD modules are complex and require special tools and calibration with highly restricted parts, I guess that they will just swap the module 1:1. Faster, easier and less headaches. Similar to ETA 8150 module (IIRC RM 2k+) in ETA 2894 during servicing. Or (Highly unlikely) they will send the modules back to the DD factory to be serviced.

Any1 know about Theorema this brand b4? any comment whr to get it and price range? thx
