Anyone have experience (positive or otherwise) with Corgeut? I'm looking for a nice base for a sterile watch and these are cheap and fit popular movements. I wouldn't be surprised if they come from the same factories as reps.

For example:

Thanks!

Is Corguet part of Tudor? Never heard of them but looks like a cheap rep of the BB?

It's an homage brand made from parts that look suspiciously similar to what comes out of the rep factories. For example, older Corgeut crowns had the Tudor rose engraving (newer models have a sterile crown). The cases seem to be indistinguishable.

I bought one before I knew about RWI. I actually really like it. It’s been a solid daily beater for me.
That looks solid, thanks for the pics. Probably going to pull the trigger on one of these to perform some experiments involving a helenarou sterile dial and high-grade 2824.

No problem! I think it’s pretty cool that they now come with a bracelet. Those cardboard straps the original ones came with are absolute garbage.

Anyway, sounds like you will have a nice project. Post pics here along the way!
