ceejay Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 (edited) Is it because parts can be used in gen Daytona's?Because franken builders want them so bad?Is it rarer than the other vintage Valjoux's?All the above or something else?

philwongnz Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 I believe what you said are correct, they were cheaper a decade ago from what I've been told but I guess donor watches are becoming more scarse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
508-Fanatic Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 Exactly correct - the movements themselves have skyrocketed in price because they can go into Daytona's and repper's /frankeners what have you are driving that market. Also, just having them around for parts for vintage daytona's is important...so, that and the ever scarce donor watch market leaves you with a rather expensive movement.
