Couple of suggestions. I want so badly to love Junghans… I’ve owned half a dozen or so, but most have had at least one issue. Misaligned hands, poorly lubricated movements, screws missing on caseback, etc. While there is potential, I think they need to look into their QC before qualifying as a bang for buck watch. Yes they’re reasonably priced and look good, but only if they work. Second, and this I recognize is much more subjective, but I believe Autodromo belongs on this list under bang for buck. And before you start screaming at me about Miyota movements, I will defend them against the 2824 and Powermatic all day. Even if you disagree, and even if you disagree with the ethos or don’t love the designs, you gotta respect the execution, which, of the 5 I’ve owned, has been impeccable. And they actually hold most of their value, at least so far. I would put the execution as high as any brand south of Omega.
