gbc Posted October 16, 2008 Report Posted October 16, 2008 ETA (clone) movement watches at about US$45-65. Damn! For the prices we pay retail for reps ... we are getting screwed!
Luthier Posted October 16, 2008 Report Posted October 16, 2008 ETA (clone) movement watches at about US$45-65. Damn! For the prices we pay retail for reps ... we are getting screwed! Bull. I guess he forgot to add - minimum order- 1000 pieces. 7750 for $45??? Ha. Ha. Ha.
trailboss Posted October 16, 2008 Author Report Posted October 16, 2008 Um, 30 pieces is usualy closer and my intrest was mainly in having the list. Col.
Luthier Posted October 16, 2008 Report Posted October 16, 2008 Um, 30 pieces is usualy closer and my intrest was mainly in having the list. Col. You REALLY think 900 watch factories exist? And if even YES.. what for?
trailboss Posted October 16, 2008 Author Report Posted October 16, 2008 Watch factories, yes. Rep factories no of cause not. The book preports to be a listing of CN watch factories not just rep makers. I would think that a lot of listings would be parts makers. Most "Factories" buy in stuff like dials, hands ect and MVTs of cause. I understand there are plants makeing nothing but casebacks. Just sounds like an interesting reference work. If its all it claims to be. Anyone got a spare 60bucks to find out? You could allways scan it and sell "reps" :-) Col.

I picked up a few catalogs in GZ watch market, there's tons of legit factories, who make cases, sapphite glasses, hands, practically all parts for watches. Already contacted few movement factories and got prices lists. If anyone interested to see parts factories full page ads - let me know, I'll post it.
alphakazi Posted October 16, 2008 Report Posted October 16, 2008 interesting indeed... but I call [censored] - as much as I want to believe it someone somewhere would have posted if a 7750 could be had for $45 I'd like for someone to prove me wrong though

Luthier Posted October 18, 2008 Report Posted October 18, 2008 this thread still alive? Alive until somebody will give me dimensions of A7750 in millimeters.Then I'll find it in my catalogs from GZ.
alphakazi Posted October 18, 2008 Report Posted October 18, 2008 it'll be the same as the Swiss Valjoux 7750
Luthier Posted October 18, 2008 Report Posted October 18, 2008 it'll be the same as the Swiss Valjoux 7750 And you, ofcourse, presume I have a box of swiss 7750's in my closet, right?
