Hey guys, which one of these do you think is best? I can't believe the Swiss 6497 is so much more. Is it that much better than the Asian movts? what are the main diffs in these watches? I can't see much diff in them. I know the 177M will be out shortly, think I should wait for it?

I know, lots of questions but I want to make the right choice.

Thanks for the input.

The Swiss is better and worth the money, but only if you are really getting a Swiss.....many say Swiss but supply Asian.......There can be 45 versions of the individual watches you are talking about. Based on the very limited descriptions, I would get the one with the superlume......$218 for a PAM 177 (TI case) with superlume is a really good deal

I'm with the man (Coldi) on this one....but, if your a handy fella, get some lume and do it yourself. Save yourself some scratch.

Asian 6497 is JUST AS. RELIABLE as its swiss counterpart.

I would love to see how the swiss is better as both are super reliable work horses
