    Under steer is when you hit the wall with your front end. Over steer is when you hit the wall with your rear end. Horsepower is how hard you hit the wall. Torque is how far you move the wall.

    I can't tell whether your reaction is surprised or aghast.

    Anyway, there's some on ebay right now, or you can get it from here: http://www.shopnbc.com/product/?fami...&ci_sku=V90094

    However, I was hoping to get it for <$150

    No need to apologize...For me it's a negative way...Not that I think anything is wrong with the brand, but the prices just seem a bit on the high side [IMHO]

    Gorgeous dial work and nice construction but the chinese movement is somewhat suspect. I have a friend who purchased one when they first came out a few years ago and he ended up returning it. Basically, it came down to the fact that it was not that great of a watch movement in a very nice package.

    Right now, there is a very nice deal on a Poljot Chrono with a mechanical 3133 mechanical movement at less than $150 over on JTV. Just type in Poljot in search. Sometimes they ship out junk...ie "seconds" quality pieces but with the 20% off it ends up a little over $100 for a mechanical two eye chrono. 20% off code is DISC9054.

    Good lcuk!

    Sorry, it is a little bit of both. I thought their price point was more in the $100 range.

    There are some Tissots and Hamiltons with automatic movements that can be had for less than $250. Ultimately though it is your coin and you have to buy what you like, I hope you can find it for the price you want.

    BTW, welcome to the forum.

    Is JTV reliable? Also which watches have good movements? (preferably the open heart ones)
