w.genzo Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 Anyone seen this Yachtmaster from Joshua, Eta 2892-2 powered? He says: "Only 200 pcs Made. Slim/Sleek Caseset . Same Thickness as the genuine." It looks pretty good to me, but $528.00 is a weird price for a rep. BTW I've just bought Narikaa's YM, 66GBP and I believe it's the best choice.

fitmic Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 It's too expensive for me. But to be honest, I am no Rolex guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toadtorrent Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 Is it because of the 2892-2 movement? I believe that movement is one of the more expensive ones... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chet Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 (edited) How about the Aquatimer- $388 for version with Asian V7750, but $1058 for version with gen Swiss V7750. We see double the 21j movement price all the time for "Swiss ETA" equipped watches, but I believe that is likely for the cheaper made ETA Asian copy, not the same ETA supplied to Swiss watch makers. There is more than one Asian factory turning out ETA movements, and the Swiss only purchase the top notch movements, hence the higher cost for a watch equipped with one. The way dealers list movements in their specs can be misleading. Chet Edited December 2, 2007 by chet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w.genzo Posted December 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 Well, for sure the price is fair because 2892-2 mov is much more expensive, but the 218$ version of Joshua's YM has an ETA 2836-2 mov inside, not an asian one. So I guess from the buyer side it's just an aesthetic matter, if this one is more than 2x closer to gen than the Noob (ETA) one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stagfan Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 Im also curious as to what are the differences between this new version and the perfect ones... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
