Pendulum, which one to get?

[Kosmo]

Hi everyone,

i'm wanting to buy a Carrera Pendulum.

I've seen a few on trusted dealer site's but can't decide which one to go for.

On timeshops.net, they all are 88$ with asian 6498 manual wind, and mineral glass, are they any good?

On watcheden, there are for 140$ and for 260$! The 260 one has sapphire crystal, but is it worth the price difference?

Thanks for reading!

All Pendulum reps are very inaccurate, even the expensive ones. IMHO, the rep factories will never be able to properly replicate the pendulum subdial and subdial action. So, if you must have one, I think you should buy one of the cheap ones.

Thanks for the response!

I know the pendulum can't be replicated, I think it will never be replicated. And I don't care if its a simple 6498 movement with hairspring instead of pendulum, I just love it!

But besides that, i really love the watch! Can someone tell me a bit about the finish and quality?

Have to say I agree with ugoderosa, I'd probably get the cheap one. Just my 2 cents tho
