The seller replied to my e-mail...I beleive there is some space to cut down the prices more, especially if RWG does a group buy (just an idea) - I don't need this mvt at the moment but maybe some of you need it - he sent me some pics as well which I am enclosing in this reply :

[kingkitesurf]

Will he sell them seperately... I am in for two

[cskent69]

Count me in if we get something going....

[LordRasta]

Damn, 4 crates of 50 each. Very nice.

[bwhitesox]

I've just asked the seller if he will do a discount for 10 or more of these.

If so I will have a chat to admin about a possible group buy but at the moment it is just an enquiry and nothing more.

Well... I think it's time to spill the bean..

This movement comes from the very same person used to sell on eBay. He is actually a watchmaker in Florida. For retail price, 1 movement costs not more than 235USD (shipping is about 20 dollar).

The last time I heard back from him was about 6 months ago while I was still in Germany and he was out of stock.

I'm glad you browsed this thread, taka.

Now we know that the seller CAN go much lower... But how in the world did he manage to stock so many of these?

Put me in for 2 of these if he can match the price which taka has stated...

[moorbygp]

If the quality and seller can be verified I could be in for 4 movements. Don't want anymore s#~t 7750 that stop after 2 days as I got about 8 now that alll require sorting out!!! If only I could find a tutorial for freezing the second hand at 6 or a watch repairer in the UK?!

has anyone got the link for the ebay movements mentioned above?

[Rolexman]

If you can get the price down to say 300 or so I'm in.

[takashi]

My goodness... Don't get fooled by the price. It's really not that expensive, order it directly from ETA S.A. The thing is they won't sell to individual. You must have business permit or a private limited company that deal with watches. ETA S.A. will supply to you.

I went to Baselworld this year and asked them.

Anyhow, watch out for the Chinese too. They have copied Valgranges movement successfully.

[mossanti]

yess listen to takaa

dont buy from all this guyss if they one to sell below 250 then we do the grooup buy ..if not..forget about it..make them safer guyss..then they will sell cheapp

[LordRasta]

I'm confused.... Are these real ETA7750's or are you saying he makes them himself?
