    Since I bought a new one, I just checked the international price. It's $187.00 on Walmart. So the price is better than I thought (with all the import restrictions and dollar rate hike). :lol:

    https://www.walmart.com/ip/Diesel-Men-s-Mega-Chief-Leather-Chronograph-Watch-DZ4344/50816794

    Also It's nice to see lot's a positive reviews on Amazon! :love:

    https://www.amazon .com/Diesel-Quartz-Stainless-Leather-Chronograph/dp/B00NTN8S4A?th=1
    (187-60/187 )*100%
    = (127/187)*100%
    = 67.9%
    Around 68% value loss . Far worse than expected.😅
    Have you checked the 1star reviews?
    There are lot of quality control issues mentioned.

    I didn't even think to resell a watch machan :eek: . No bullshit! I but bought this to wear at the gym. So if I able to use this one for 6 months it's more than enough!

    Anyway you haven't mentioned the way you calculate the loss. As per my calculations it should be around Rs. 70,000/= (even without shipping charges and etc.). So there's really nothing to worry about it!

    Try Bulova or Fredrique Constant. I've seen some watches with Jubilee bracelet on them. Both brands are owned by Citizen. Bulova watches usually come with Miyota movements. Fredrique Constant uses a mix of Swiss movements including in-house movements.

    There's one Tissot series (I think heritage series) that come with hand winding watches. Most handwinding watches now come from China or Russia. Poljot/Maktime 3133 movement is a very famous handwinding movement that is fitted to many Chinese and Russian watches. SeaGull ST-19 is also a handwinding movement (based on Poljot 3133).

    Sea Gull itself makes good quality mechanical watches. Their build quality is as good as Japanese or Swiss. And equally expensive.

    I am particularly fond of this one: https://www.seagullwatchcompany.com...hronograph-watch-819-87-1963-sapphire-crystal

    However, there are so many cheap versions of this one around. Especially the Sugess ones, such as this: https://sugesswatch.com/products/p1963
    Uses the same Sea Gull movements but no sapphire crystal or good quality steel.

    Parnis is another Chinese brand that has a good reputation with PMW collectors:

    The most useless store of them all... Flagship store without a single new (2023) release. Few display items, none for sale of course. 😁

    IMG-20230404-WA0019.jpg


    The best store by far. Many JDM prices for sale...
