The prices I am going by are the available online prices for these watches new, not the MSRP or the used prices. Ill start from lowest to highest priced.1. Alpha Radiomir Automatic $65USThe first watch is an Alpha Radiomir with a Japanese Replica Omega 2200.51 Planet Ocean Watch Miyota movement, probably the best movement that Alpha uses, as most of their other watches use fairly unreliable Chinese movements with questionable accuracy. Their cases on the other hand are very well made, and a steal given the ridiculously low prices. This is the perfect mechanical watch if your budget is below $100.2.
Ticino Stealth Military Pilot Watch $199USThe Ticino is a nice budget watch with a cool Pilot look without the price tag associated with it like most 47mm pilots like the SteinhartDebaufre Nav B-Uhr, or even more so the IWC Big Pilot. The Ticino is also available in this cool stealthy black case with a completely sterile dial. Very nice touch. The Replica Omega 951476.71 Constellation Watch is completely Chinese made, but good value, especially if this is all you can afford. Manual winding Unitas clone movement in this one.3. Pyrolume Mechanical Pilot $400USPyrolume is an interesting brand out of the US here, hand assembled in a one-man shop.
The watches are mostly constructed out of Chinese-made parts, except for the dials which are CNC machined in-house by the watchmaker. The mechanical movements are either Chinese Unitas Clones or Japanese Miyota automatics mostly, very similar to the $65 Alpha Watch. The watches have very unique and memorable dials of the watchmakers own designs, and are the primary reason for buying these watches. The accuracy on Replica Omega 2604.50.37 Aqua Terra Automatic Watch mine is not very good. For a primarily Chinese-made product, it is pricey, but his dials are one-of-a-kind. Currently available only through eBay.4. Swiss Army Ambassador Day-Date $450USVictorinox Swiss Army is probably one of the most underrated brands of watches I have ever seen.
