Sicura, Discuss

[sausage76]

Been looking at a retro watch and really like the above.

Anyone got one experiences?

If you can get a good one, they're nice little retro pieces.

Generally come with cheaper and less accurate pin pallet movements, but quite a cheap way to dabble with vintage.

[sausage76]

Thanks for that.

As you say they are nice looking watches and thats what attracted me to them.

Will just need to find the right one now.

There're some really nice Sicuras, some with good movements too (L134x/L1873 etc).

It's a slippery slope. You'll start with Sicura and before you know it you'll be hunting for 70's Heuer Autavias and Omega Flightmasters

Speaking from experience, that is right on the money.

They are the cannabis of watches, in themselves harmless fun, but they often lead on to much harder more dangerous watch collecting!

They are cool little retro watches I know some slate them but I love em, not the finest quality or great movements but who cares for the price

[sausage76]

Yeah I can see it being a slippery slope.

I've already got a nice little collection of sub £100 watches, so this is the next step, closely followed by the next one no doubt

Hi Ed. We met at the TZ Watchfinder event last year. Hope all is well?

All good thanks! You'll have to remind me of your actual name

I have a few Sicura and to be frank, they're not high quality movements

Having said that I have this Carronade Bullhead Chronograph that's marked as Sicura SA on the Valjeoux movement and the caseback is very very Sicura-ish!!
