Porsche design flat six

[Blambino99]

Hi folks, I'm interested in a "Porsche design flat six" watch, rrp around £2k but available on Amazon for circa £700....any good? My only other watch is a Longines hydro conquest...quality wise are they in the same ball park?
Cheers

You can find them new from US sellers on eBay from around £350.

For example, this bracelet version for £430 seems like a good buy.

Interesting, thanks. Anyone know if they're a good watch? £500-£600 still overpriced for what you get?
Cheers

I prefer the P6310 more than the 6350, but nevertheless they’re still an excellent watch, since Porsche Design owned Eterna, who made these.
Since selling Eterna off and setting up their own manufacturing facility, Porsche Design have a new range of models available (July 2015, iirc).
Being an ETA movement, servicing outside of warranty will be cheaper and much like every other brand that’s using ETA, Sellita, or Soprod.

Thanks for the tip above...was umming and arring for a while and then they knocked another £120 off the rubber strap model so I've ordered one at £480. Can always take it back within 28 days if it doesn't live upto expectations but I'm hopeful it will.

I had one previously and sold it on eBay for £750! They are good quality, I doubt you'll be disappointed. Only thing I didn't like was it was quite small compared with the other watches I usually wear. At £480 you can't go wrong.
