I found this in Amazon Global Store. Another 'inexpensive' Swiss made automatic watch. Price includes UK delivery + import duty and tax.
It sells at £510 so it's a real 'bargain' for £334. It is a Swiss made watch with Swiss movement. It has an amazing 80 hours power reserve and water resistant up to 50m.
Such a normal looking watch could be mistaken for a citizen or Seiko

It's what's inside this that's good. 80 hour power reserve for an automatic is pretty astounding as most are only around 40. It's also one of the cheapest entry points to a genuine, though heavily modified, ETA 2824-2 movement.
It actually isn't to my taste visually either, but I can appreciate it for what it is. Reviews also show some quite nice build quality too. Voting hot.

What would be the issue with that? My Seiko SSG001p1 is fantastic

Tissot says that if a watch is cheaper online than on tissot website is fake . Tissot watches can be bought with discount only in street shops.Be careful

Sold by Amazon hence there's no risk I think.

There was a time last year Amazon discontinued sale of Tissot as some were counterfeit

That is a very good power reserve compared with my 2824-2 movement in a Glycine combat sub. I guess a different main spring? Excellent, anyway.

Thinner spring hub to allow more spring and higher tension, lowered beat rate from 8 to 6 per second and use an esoteric material for escapement jewel I think to lower friction. Funky!

Bought a tissot prc200 from Amazon, fake. Stick to jewellers on high street for expensive watches,

Excellent watch. The powermatics all have a distinct look and don't think I'd ever get them confused with a random brand, except maybe Certina :wink:
Great price for an automatic and as so many have mentioned above, the power reserve is great
Seems to be unavailable though

Thanks for the info, interesting. I guess you have a few watches too. I have another Glycine with a really superb movement which keeps great time, it is an incursore big date with an eta 2896 movement. Although I do have something else that was silly money but I wear it all day every day and it keeps almost perfect time, in the order of <1s per month. I think my buying days are over - for now :wink:
