I specifically acquired a Molinja for CN for about $40 including shipping. I have not yet determined error rate. Whenever I get around to it I'll post the results.
The Molinja's are not a Hamilton knock-off but rather Rolex. I got mine because it was the only mechanical timekeeper I could find that was reasonably priced and manual wind. I was uncertain whether autowinders had a consistent rate if worn or whether they could be mechanically wound.
