since u mention it, which reminds me of how much i loved the Panerai PAM190 when it had the Jaeger movement in it. it's just so much better than Panerai's own in-house movement they're producing now.

they are still considered as a lower priced trendy watch. if they're going to design their own movement, expect to pay at least twice as much as they cost now. u've got a point. so i guess B&R is not for u. actually, the base ETA movement in most of the B&R models are pretty cheap. Porsche Design uses them too, and many others. doesn't bother me for a relatively cheap-priced beater type of watch at all.

I have a LumTec with an ETA movement that cost me less than $1k. All due respect to B&R, who makes a really nice watch, but I cannot envision paying more than around $1,500 for a watch with an ETA movement

You have much to learn kid. That's like saying your would buy a Porsche 911 with a Honda V6 powering it. Sure it works just fine, but its not the same and definitely not worth the same money.

But to counter your post, its nothing like that. The watch will tell time the same regardless of the movement (for the most part). A porsche will not be as fast with a Honda V6 powering it. Not even close.
But lets say you take a Porsche 911 and put a similarly powered and reliable V6 in it so that Id never know the difference and charge me 1/2 price. Id buy that ALL day long.
Maybe its just me...
