Making Sense Of The Sellita SW200 Movement: Same As ETA 2824-2
Lots of people are starting to notice that watch makers are starting to indicate the movement of a watch as "Swiss Movement." For most of us, such an ambiguous designation is unacceptable, as this can mean just about anything. Strictly speaking, for a watch or movement to legally have the "Swiss Made" designation upon it, the watch or movement does not have to be made or assembled completely in Switzerland. In fact, only a certain percentage of the components must be made in Switzerland, and the watch does not need to be put together in Switzerland.Regardless, of the circumstances where you see "Swiss Movement," this means essentially one thing, the movement in the watch is going to be either an ETA or Sellita movement. Ablogtoreadwatches-dealer wrote an article regarding Sellita's presence here. Occasionally there are other potential makers, but this is rare. So you ask yourself, "I don't know what movement I am getting? What am I even paying for?" This is a perfectly reasonable quest

Did anyone catch the AP RO Bracelet on Neil Patrick Harris' wrist. It sure looked great

Help needed: Verification on vintage Omega Ladymatic
Hi all, I came across a listing for a vintage Omega Ladymatic (Seamaster?). Seller is unable to open caseback, and can only show me pics of the dial and caseback. Condition on the exterior is pretty bad, but I guess can be rectified (at what cost?). That said, is this piece legitimate? I tried to google for more information, and at least based on the Omega archives on their website, found no such references to one with this bracelet, or markers. Any help, advice, or potential information about this watch's history would be greatly appreciated.

Got the Stainless Steel with Black Dial
They said there was a 2 year wait list on that watch.Went in there and told the Rolex clerk that we are going walk out with either 3 watches or 0. And next thing you know, they walked out with the stainless steel.

Spare Links on a New GMT 2 Question
HiPurchased a BLNR from an AD remotely but was still too small for me.Anyway after sizing I received 2 spare links. Couldn't help thinking at the time that I wouldn't have wanted to have larger wrists. I just saw a watch on the sales section here (with three spare links) and counted up the links seems I was left short, how many links in total incl spares make up the full bracelet.Thanks,Ck.
