    I think the first one looks the best. Never heard of that brand before, how did you come across it?

    If you buy from grey market dealers like Ashford or Jomashop there's no international warranty. Are you good with no warranty?

    Yeah up to a certain price . These might be worth a risk given the savings .

    The Hamilton has an ETA 2895-2 movement which many people consider to be better than the 2824-2 base grade ETA that's in a lot of the entry level Hamilton's. it's generally considered a very good movement, one of the best Eta'.
    The Armand Nicolet... I looked at them for awhile when I was looking for a daily beater last year but I found some negative quality reviews online. It's an older established company but most people have never heard of them and you might have trouble getting parts or service, or reselling it (just in case).
    Especially since you won't want to send it back to Ashford for service, and it won't have a meaningful warranty, maybe the Hamilton is a less risky option?
    Did you notice that the Hamilton is used not new? Where would you get a repair done if you needed to fix something? The Ashford in house service? Some things to think about.

    Im certainly getting a Hamilton, not sure which yet, but i like that one looks wise. I saw thats is a store dispaly model but that wouldnt bother me. If it ever needs fixing id assume that it can be done here or in the UK (but at that value i wouldnt be that worried about it)


    On looking around I think Hamiltons are my preferred brand as there is loads that i like . Im not at all worried about the movement, as i really cant understand what all the fuss about movements is really (as you cant see that anyway) , once its a well regarded brand that make decent watches.
