Luthier Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trailboss Posted October 16, 2008 Author Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
