And please, I'd appreciate not hearing that I'm new to this game .. experts speak louder than we do .. Mr Mayface has made an excellent assertion respective of the latest Android Virtuoso. Prior to his past year, I would say that Wing had not yet begun to ascend the mountain of TIME MrETyme

They studiedit's pretty obvious you only just joined to stir the pot so get ready as you seem to be under the spell of of a well known con who hosts a Shopping show and has very little watch knowledge imo...agreed...experience is the greatest teacher and I also welcome you to take some time and learn before making a post that "defies logic" my friend. ..most chain jewelers don't even have a watchmaker on site and send everything out and if you take the word of a sales person who only holds the knowledge of how to ring up a sale than you are in trouble...take this watch to an expert...someone who really knows watches and you will hear exactly what many have posted here... many if not all who own these high dollar Swiss brands as well as knowing the value a watch holds regardless of cost and have something to compare to and don't need the word of a sales person who is probably being fed the same BS you are at the hands of Slopnbs....you remind me of an ex-member who posted he was offered a Ferrari for his Renato and refused!

Do not fall for the hype during a TV presentation from a host, or producer of a watch, whose "only" job is to sell a product...period. Thanks Tony. As far as hype, I don't fall for it. When this watch finally aired last week, I had already had it in hand. Wing stated that he was making a watch with the same case as his tourbillon. I knew at that point I wanted it. I knew the quality would be there and that wasnt going to be anything else like it around. I must say that the resale really doesn't enter into my head when I'm looking to grab a watch. However I have noticed that the micro brands do very well in the resale market. LMAO! Looks like I've stirred up something around here. Did I mention I have a couple micro brands coming soon? LOL!

I couldn't care less about snbc !! And, I have no interest in buoying their opinions or point of view. So, let me make that perfectly clear guys !! .. These are not salesmen in a jewelery store. This is a 'major watch high end retailer' with a 'few' major high end stores .. they carry Rolex, Panerai, Cartier, Breitling, H Mueller and many, many others. They do not carry Japanese/Chinese movement timepieces. These were the owners who studied the piece, people who know watches and value ... I would never have bought an Android years ago, or even two years ago .. but .. that being said, I repeat that I prefer to listen to experts, though I value everyone's opinion !!! .. the last thing I would be doing is to play mind games with you, or, join to provoke my new friends ... Best Wishes to All ... and Joy. MrETyme

IMHO I don't care what any so called expert says. If I like or don't like a watch is what matters. If you like it and want it buy it. Dealers and retailers opinion don't interest me much. I value designers and builders of times pieces opinion more. Yet it is still all about personal taste. I own watches worth $30 to around $6000 and like and wear them all. Some of my sub $200 beaters I wear much more than others. Talk it out guys if it pleases you but do keep it civil OK.

I agree Skipdawg. Though I do value the owner of this particular high end watch group, I do value the designers and builders more. It takes remarkable talent to produce any of these beautiful executions, especially when offered at exceptional prices to us, the end user. Best, MrET__e

Ok! 700 buks... This is what was my last 700$ buy on the net: Housing a 7750 Valjoux... Don't tell me that the tungsten case makes it all or you'll have to see how many tungsten-carbide/Hong-Kong watches are selling for 100-200buks on the Bay... For the Seagull mvt...Cost and finish is LOW whatever the decoration and whatever you've been told. I will make no other comments: People who know about SWISS watches and maybe MrETime  will certainly understand it all...

So, let me make that perfectly clear guys !! ..as amusing as your story is my friend you just answered yourself by stating this high end store does not carry Japanese/Chinese movement timepieces...surprised about the Japanese as Seiko is a mainstay in many high end stores that sell watches but again the store in question does not carry Android nor do any other brick & mortors to my knowledge. ..Andoid is a made for TV brand and I'm not knocking the OP or Wing/Android ...it's a simple fact and unfortunate that when the TV brands try to go high end they fail and the WIS who buy them and sell them later lose big time...they are a great value in the $300. and under range and as I said before I own several Androids and actually went crazy buying them when they were selling off their models that had eta movements in them for under $200. a few years ago and if I were to sell these I would still lose $..I bought them for the movements just as I have bought other Slopnbc made brands for their exotic straps which were being cleared out at low prices. ...Please listen and learn is all we are trying to purvey on any level meaning how far you have come along as a WIS...some catch on quickly others never do but whatever makes you happy is most important and there are forums for every level to share your watches that may suit you better....my only advice is to get acquainted with a forum before posting as not all may share the same feelings as you when it comes to certain brands...
