Devedander Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 So I am looking at the PO from silix and there is something I must be missing... the 42mm http://www.silix-prime.com/product.asp?id=1318 is there for $150 but the 45 is only $125 http://www.silix-prime.com/product.asp?id=1629 They seem to be the same except for size... so why is the bigger watch $25 less? Thanks for setting me straight... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hottoddy Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 Just a guess, but it may be due to the fact that the 45mm is much less accurate than the 42mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devedander Posted October 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 I thought it must be but I wasn't seeing the differences... either that or I was attributing the differences to the size difference in the watch playing optical tricks...

JosePR Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 check if orginal comes in both sizes ps: why so many invalid links or pictures on his site.. kinda disturbing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devedander Posted October 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 Wow... that's one I didn't think to check I don't get many bad links on his site... slow to load for sure but so far only a few pics that are weird icons or something...

Richard Tracy Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 Could be a sale on overstock or a type-o... I do agree though that he needs a more proficient web designer.. but nothing to be 'disturbed' about... Jay is, friendly, patient, totally professional, never cheap or petty, has that old, 'the customer is always right' mentality, ..{I saw him replace a watch from catboy that was over five months old...} Last but not least, Jay connections that many dealers would give a leg for,..

r11co Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 Jay dropped the price on the 45mm PO just before the slightly improved version of the watch came along with the longer hands - he obviously caught wind of the newer version. $125 for an ETA movement PO is is close to what most dealers are selling the very inaccurate Asian 45mm version for. It's still a fantastic deal and a very good starting point for modification. If you were planning on substituting genuine parts then it would be silly to pay more.

Devedander Posted October 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 I am not planning to drop more parts in... just want to make sure I am putting my money in the best PO... for $25 I would probably want to go with the "more accurate" 42.5 I think...
