Richtenburg watches

[BlueEyedBoy]

Was browsing and found this, what do people think its worth. I know its Chinese..., and its retailing on some sites for £1400. I in no way think its worth that, but for nearer £200? Thinking of a present for my son.

I'm willing to bet that the build quality would pale in comparison with a similarly priced Seiko.

imho leave well alone.

Far better available even at 200 quid.

I agree. Chinese watches are worth a punt at £20, or £50-100 for a known "maker". To me, that one falls in the £20 category.

OP: I wouldnt at any price. Ignore the Swiss web site hosting - theyre nasty looking Chinese watches with comical RRPs.

Id buy a Tissot.

half of the mens ones look like bad copies of Breitling Navitimers

Also when you click on the link it says "Trendy time, time for style". Doesn't really inspire confidence does it?

Just get your son a Parnis. I said PARNIS!

Your son wants a G Shock.

I saw something similar to the vajazzle you posted being sold by a Rastafarian gentleman. This was at 3:30 am on a street corner in Tenerife whilst on a stag do. He also sold oversized sunglasses with flashing LED lamps, light up yo-yos and heroin.

Yup, a Seiko 5 model with a rear display case would be cool for a first automatic. One of the mini Monsters, perhaps?

How old is he? I seem to have automatically assumed that he's quite young!

I own one of these. Picked up for 300. Always on sale. Build quality is actually very good. Time isn't brilliantly accurate, minute deviation every few days maybe. But all in all. I can't knock it for when I want to wear a cheap but reasonable looking watch.
