Hi,

As a 30 year Vintage Watch collector, I can tell you that any Porsche Design watch (a completely separate company from Porsche AG - the Car makers, with absolutely NO affiliation whatever) is essentially a cheap knock-off using a generic Swiss movement.

There are so many great watches to be found in the $500 - $1,000 range, why would you opt for a Cheapie just because it says Porsche or 911 on the face?...

Happy Motoring... Jim'99
