Hi guys
Ive already said what a fantastic site this is and the more I read the more I learn - however this has had the adverse effect of really confusing me (easily done I hear you say). Let me explain.
1 The thread about buying 'swiss eta's' was brilliant - learnt a great deal.
2 The dealer section - fantastic just what I needed.
3 varoius other threads on QC etc - great.
My problem - I want to buy this http://www.puretimewatch.com/index.php?productID=803. Purtime is a trusted dealer as listed and rated by you experienced chaps - so far so good.
However after reading about supposed swiss movements I now am unsure if this movement is a marketing hype (works on me:swoon
. and not worth the extra money. The back of the watch is see through so Im presuming it may be a real swiss one as you can see the movement inside - or am I very very wrong in assuming that.
Also it would appear on the eta thread sticky that our trusted dealsrs will still try and misguide us on the types of movement really fitted to the watch which begs the question why are they trusted?
It also goes for the waterproofing >50m? How can I be sure and as avenger quite correctly pointed out to me - how will I know until its too late:wacko: (thanks avenger).
I guess as Im new to this and have always had Gens this hype on movements has caused me to question my purchase on the above watch. Can you help me out - or have I got it all wrong (possibly).
Its also a question that will hopefully point me in the right direction for sometime to come.
Thanks guys
(rather confused) Mark:notworthy:
PS I have searched the forum and seen the sticky about reading before posting etc so please be assured my post is because I feel the above (in my case anyway) is not addressed in the stickys and I hope you all feel that it is a worthwhile thread and not just a newbie posting because he is too lazy to search etc.
