Iv never heard of them but to be honset iv got others iv never heard of too, im wearing a mechanical watch i bought from abroad 4 years ago and its never missed a beat

yeh and £65 isnt too bad i dont think, looks a good quality watch

[sprintmini]

I have a few watches as well.
Some really good deals out there at the moment.
I have bought some 50's watches which are really nice to wear and if you pay a little bit more for them hold time and go up in value.

do you think it looks worth £65, iv seen some nasty watch's on ebay, copies etc, am always abit warey of them, i dont mind replicas, i just dont like BAD ones, this on the otherhand looks well built

do you think it looks worth £65

Depends, is this an E-bay shop selling a new one or is it second hand? The retail price of these is only £80.00 so a second hand one would basically have to be unopened to be worth £65.00 in my opinion. Ignore the blurb on E-bay that gives the manufacturer's recommended price as £399.00, these are all over the internet for around £80.00. There is no such company as Vaan Konrad I believe, it's a cheap Chinese movement in a Chinese case with a Dutch name and sold as a European watch. Probably doesn't hold that good time but since it probably only has about 30 hours of winding reserve you'll be resetting it all the time anyway. It's a gift shop brand rather than a jeweller's brand.

my other automatic ones i have stop after a day or so, so i usually have to reset them too lol il have a look around

my other automatic ones i have stop after a day or so

My cheaper ones stop after 30-40 hours.

My good watch lasts 60 hours or more, but I keep that in a winder anyway.

To be honest I dont like the look of that watch,as mentioned above seems to be a cheap watch trying to be passed off as a decent model.
Get yourself a genuine classic watch from a decent source, I always stick to known manufacturers and classics.

I've got a very nice Raymond weil watch that I want rid of. £150. Cost me over £400. Only ever wore it for special occasions. Just had battery replaced which cost a small fortune in itself.
