    Re: Inexpensive flieger

    How about a Laco ?
    They are one of the original five, they are really nice and they sell for €200 and up.

    It also seems that Eddie is moving (no pun intended) in the same direction with the PRS-18.
    Perhaps someone should nudge Steinhart and the likes in the same direction.... :?:

    Thanks. Obviously, it seems as if Citizen are serious about it this time. And about bloody time ETA got some competition.

    Miyota

    Anybody out there, that has insight into the Miyota 9015 movement?

    I always felt that Oris made really nice watches, but their insistence of their lug design has always put me off. The lack of option to pun on a different band has always been a deal breaker, sad to...

    I think the difference between the watches is that while the Elvis watch is just tacky and tasteless, the Rolex is an expression of total lack of integrity:

    That is correct.
    I have a couple of 7t92 watches and it is a quartz movement.
    Seiko use it in many, many watches:
    From the lowliest Lorus through Pulsar up to and including their Velatura series.
