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.

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.

 

Br. Ftw.

 

I couldnt really care less if they have a custom movement. I love B&Rs. Was juststating the case of why some watch folks have an issue with them.

 

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.

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

 

I only own Tags. I dont own any B&Rs.

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...

 

dude,..

are you really that stubborn?

and it`s not even limited to this thread only..

 

Why am I stubborn? Because someone made a point and I busted it?

I'm not even agreeing or disagreeing with anyone on anything.....not sure why there's a problem....

 

Let me do this. People seem to be sinsitive on back and forths. What would the acceptable response from me be? Tell me and ill say THAT

 

I'm on my phone and can't edit for some reason....

I AM stubborn and I apologize. It comes from immersing myself in politics and dealing with that scene. Somtimes it comes across wrong on other types of forums. Ill try to keep it in check

 

Bell & Ross, of course!!!!!

......but I would say that!!!!
