It’s just an unbranded 4R35, isn’t it?

[rodia77]

Yup.

So, it runs and runs and runs, but it's not very accurate? Got it. My Armida has one and it seems to do just fine. I've never measured its accuracy, but I've never noticed it to gain or lose time so maybe I got lucky. The watch in question is a nice looking, affordable watch with a less than high end movement. I'm not going to complain too much if it runs a little fast or a little slow as a high degree of accuracy is not why I'm buying that type of watch; that would be a bonus. I'd buy that watch for the value.

Yup. That's it.

It's not. It's the absolutely greatest mechanical movement ever made, for it's price. But that price is only about $40 Canadian for single units.

It's only dreadful if the watch it is in is priced inappropriately high.

High end not done right

[is that my watch]

so you may have heard me talk of having wanted to get a prs-40 well they was discontinued with a promise from eddy to one day he would do some more ..if honest I thought them a bit much new ( in general they probably was not ) but for a whim buy when it was like a marmite buy you know I would love it or hate it so thought if I saw a decent priced second hand one I would get it still waiting on that thou

well he sorta has put them out again but with a fresh twist it's a mech now

so for an auto at £235 plus post does not look bad at all bit pricey for me at the minute but well worth the look .....
