    Stuhrling Original vs. Prestigue

    I currently own a Stuhrling original and was looking for another automatic watch. After floating around for a bit on amazon i cam across Stuhrling Prestigue for 5 to 10xs the price. My question is why are they so much more money? Are they different in movements or something im missing?

    The Stührling Prestige chrono has a swiss ETA/Valjoux 7750 movement. Don't know if this applies to all Prestige models; had not the time to check. This might be the reason for a higher price tag. However, for that amount of money you can easily get a chronograph with a lot more "prestige" you'll get with any Stührling. Just my two cents.
    bluloo and Luskar like this.



    Kind regards

    The Prestige line uses all Swiss movements (both mechanical and quartz). Most Stuhrling Original mechanicals use Chinese movements.
    "This thing all things devours:
    Birds, beasts, trees, flowers;
    Gnaws iron, bites steel,
    Grinds hard stones to meal;
    Slays king, ruins town,
    And beats high mountain down."
