Maurice de Mauriac Watches Now Available With New Movement
Zurich-based watch brand Maurice de Mauriac will now begin to offer a special new movement in all of their watches which are built to accept Swiss ETA Valjoux 7750 automatic chronograph movements. Sourced from Concepto (the Jacquet family) the new movements are like super 7750s.The new movements are built on a Valjoux 7750 foundation and are interchangeable with the famous workhorse from ETA. The Valjoux 7750 is actually an amazing little machine. Continually refined for something like 30-40 years, it is not only the most popular Swiss mechanical chronograph calibre in the world, but also the base for a large number of other movements. As 7750 movements are so common, specialized movements using the same architecture are valued as they are less common and often much more attractive.Using the architecture of the 7750, Concepto produces this and other movements like it. The movement is mostly in black with a lot of perlage and other polishing. It has an upgraded power reserve of about 50

Rolex AD service quote - how old is vintage?
Hi All.Hoping you could help me out with a question about servicing. I have a 2004 GMT Master II Pepsi in pretty good shape. Went to an AD in the UK today as I would like to get it serviced, it�s never had one, and running fast. I was quite shocked by the basic cost of the service. She quoted me ?780. I queried this as I had done some research and thought the cost was ?505. She told me ?505 is the cost for watches less than 10 years old, and that anything over 10 years is considered �vintage? and has a higher cost.I was wondering if it�s correct that >10 years is considered vintage, I had thought it would need to be older than that. And is the mark up for vintage really that high? It�s about 50% more.I didn�t send the watch as I wanted to double check this. Many thanks for any info.Jon
