A couple follow-up questions if you don't mind;

1.  How do the Vostok movements compare with Seiko or Miyota movements for example?  I have no experience with the Russians.

2.  Anybody know the introductory price on the Reef Ranger?

3.  I like the Zeno, but have never heard of an ETA 2452.  How does it compare with the workhorse ETA 2824?

Thanks



The Russian movements aren't as smooth or refined imho. That's a bit of an intangible and just my "feel". They also have no true quickset date which the Japanese movements provide. In the Seiko range only the Sumo hacks.

I thought the Reef Ranger was going to be right in your price range with a nice 3T intro price though haven't heard much as of late.

I also think the Zeno comes with the 2824 in most cases. I don't know the specifics between the movements but do know the 2452 does not hack.

You really have a lot of good options here!! Thumbsup3.gif
