The Rare Deal – Under $200, 200m, no logo… auto.

MWC Submariner PVD “Bond Strap” Automatic – $199.00

This seems like a pleasantly strange combination for under $200 shipped:

  • 21 Jewel Automatic Movement
  • Classic Submariner styling with a color twist
  • 200m water resistance
  • 20mm lugs, so a pretty common strap width
  • Black PVD Case that looks even better on the MWC website
  • No branding on the dial.  None.


42mm without the crown, 45mm with.  Description says it’s “brand new” and is available through MWC with a plain black strap.  Go with Need Supply Co where it ships free.  Got one on the way for an in person.  You a fan of the no-logo here?  Or is a watch like a car (hood ornament), and the lack of branding here looks slightly empty to you?
