I really like the "TAUCHMEISTER T0195" on the website..... Is it any good??

What do you mean by "good"? It's a serious chunk of metal. The strap should be suitably chunky. The movement is a Chinese one (mind you, aren't most watches? ) so the accuracy won't be anything like COSC... might gain/lose a minute a day. Certainly eye-catching.

Slating Chinese movements for low accuracy is a bit off-beam.

We are talking about sub-£100 watches, though...

I thought we were talking about sub-£1000 watches, as per the thread title. Sorry if I misread you.

And then we moved on to Tauchmeisters.

Very very cool, but you're not going to get *anything* like that for less than a grand... seriously - anything less than a grand either has a bog standard ETA movement in it, or a Chinese 'standard' movement - those bespoke engineering/art creations are megabucks and impossible to fake / imitate with 'standard' kit.

Look at the very best the 'replica' guys can do w.r.t Richard Mille - it's nowhere near looking anything like the real thing and those watches are the most 'conventional' of the ones you've posted.

I'd LOVE to be proven wrong on this, but I think you'll be needing £10k for a second hand entry level RM005... as I will some day...

You may have to go for something that's unusual but cheap. Like this:



Dig around in the seventies - it was all quite unusual then...

Pesty - Some very cool watches there! I stumbled upon that EXACT Welder watch earlier and thought it was cool! Crazy! Thanks again everyone!

Thanks for the input onto this thread guys, tragically I really like the look of some of these pieces, especially the last one Pesty posted.

Anyone heard of "Freeze" watches? Apparently they're Chinese made tourbillon watches, I kinda like the look on this one but not too sure, Cheers

I just bought one of these:



Bang on your budget. I was looking at Omega PO's and Rolex Subs and had pretty much decided on the Rolex (at more than twice the price of the Sinn).

Spot on.
