Anyone own all RAF Chrono Reissues/Homages?

[Wilson_smyth]

I have a flieger from stowa but would also like to get the RAF equivalent.
It looks like my options are:

Hamilton
Newmark
CWC
Precista

Ive read reviews, watched vids but all that rarely equates to real experience with a watch.
Has anyone here owned more than one of these and if so what would you recommend?

I dont like quartz, which rules Newmark out.
Precista dont seem to do it anymore.
That leaves hamilton and cwc.

It isn't any old quartz, it uses the Seiko VK64A Meca Quartz movement. I'd have bought one if I didn't already have an original PRS-5 Broadarrow.

The Newmark 6BB re-issue is a fantastic watch - and it's mice to have different movements in my watches IMHO

Edit: By the way you just missed a PRs-5 on ~Ebay - it went for £360

£360! I had a PRS5 and much prefer the Newmark I now have.

I was looking into this a few weeks ago ,I didn’t realise the cwc and Hamilton were around £1500 ,a bit more expensive than the other 2,also started looking at original ones,I think a collection of originals would be cool

I had never heard of a mecha quartz before. Learn something new everyday! Thanks!
