Sellita Further Targets ETA With the SW300 And SW500 Watch Movements
Sellita helps fill the gap. Offers two more movement ebauches that replace what so many relied upon ETA for. Ebauche - the term refers to a "blank" or un-assembled watch movement. Here is the definition from Wikipedia, "French term (but commonly used in English-speaking countries) for a movement blank, i.e. an incomplete watch movement which is sold as a set of loose parts, comprising the main plate, the bridges, the train, the winding and setting mechanism and the regulator. The timing system, the escapement and the mainspring, however, are not parts of the "��bauche."Basically they are watch movement kits that are to be finished, decorated, and assembled by the buyer. These are often sold in wholesale, and are cheaper to purchase than already finished movements (much cheaper).Until recently the biggest provider of watch ebauches was Swiss ETA, owned by the Swatch Group. For the last few years they have been slowly reducing the number of ebauche movements they have been selling to

Thinking about selling my Chronomat Evolution - would you?
I've had my Chornomat Evolution for some time now and it doesn't get as much wrist time as it used to. I've always been very careful with it and it shows very little sign of wear. I absolutely LOVE the blue dial against the rose gold and SS backdrop. It keeps perfect time and is a real eye-catcher.My dilemma: I'm now more drawn to solid gold watches and am thinking about either acquiring a rose gold Breitling B01 w/ black roman numerals - or - a GMT Master II YG Rolex (black face). What would you guys do? My other option is to leave it in my watch winder until my son is of proper age (which I have no problem doing) - but that's over a decade away =)It's currently in the for sale section, but I'm having second thoughts. Any recommendations are welcome.

Grey dealer prices...
You can't even imagine how happy I am that I bought my 5726 just 2 weeks before the price increase in Europe, I just looked on Chrono24, which is where I found mine, the prices are much higher than when I got mine, basically 2-3 thousand euros more for a brand new one like mine, I was expecting the grey dealers to follow the move I wasn't wrong, what would be great for us europeans, since the US prices dropped by 7% while ours were raised by 7%, would be for the euro to gain against the US$ and come back to around 1 euro = 1.40 dollars, in that case I would definitely, if I have the money, not the case for the moment, take a plane for America to get a 5167R, it's quite incredible but as I understand the prices were dropped everywhere, even in Switzerland, and raised only on the european euro market.Does anyone have the exact new prices in Europe and in the USA for the 5167R? If yes thanks for telling us, I don't intend on buying any watch for at least 1 year and maybe even much more th

Why not buy from a Grey dealer
I have seen numerous comments on lack of Rolex SS Sports watches from AD.I bought two a sub from an AD in Chicago, Datejust41 from AD Detroit.But I'f you really wanted the watch now, why wouldn't you just purchase from a Grey, who appear to have a lot of inventory..

Thoughts about this engraving?
I ran across this post on Facebook that shows an incredible engraving. But it is on a Rolex. I thought it completely irresponsible to destroy the value of the watch. I know there will be some who love it. I would think a Timex would have been a better choice.Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk
