Circa makes inexpensive quartz replicas, peruse their retailers for the best prices.

Curious...

Why not buy an actual 1930s watch?

The primary reason might be that if you don't know what you are doing you could easily be throwing your money away.

Yes, I'm all for decent replicas myself. A vintage timepiece is nice, though reconditioning etc can make it an expensive foible. Also, one doesn't always care to have something irreplaceable on one's wrist...

The Circa watches look lovely, I just wish they did them with an auto-winding, mechanical mechanism rather than quartz. Quartz, reliable as it may be, is a dealbreaker to me.

I've never seen a contemporary repro watch that was convincing. They've all had a certain indefinable knock-off look to them. But then I feel the same way about virtually all repro products -- vintage-y toasters and other appliances, "old style" radios, etc. They just never look right, for my money.

I own several vintage watches, and wouldn't trade them. None of them are fancy, but every one of them is authentic and looks it.
