This Swiss Legend caught my attention, forget the design aspect if you don't like it, my question is what movement do you think is being used?

This one touts a Swiss Auto with 21 jewels? I know of one 2892-2? At this price point I doubt that. My only other quests is that thîs is one of those XO Skeleton Miyotas modified with enough Swiss parts to advertise that way?

I wonder if WOW would respond to an email inquiry about it?

BTW, they have another version which clearly says they are using a CL 888 movement.

Any other opinions?

Not sure on this one....

It states it is an SL525 Swiss Automatic Movement...you would think if you googled that you would get at least one hit to tell you what it is...in this case it only brings up hits for Swiss Legend.

You may be right in that they add enough Swiss parts to call it Swiss or its an Invicta move and it's something they am up.

That said, it is a nice looking watch, a big one at 52mm but I kind of like the white.

as Nick said it is a SL525(SL=Swiss Legend) one of Liors watch movements(more than likely a branded Asian Co. with Swiss ties) with no info to be found on it,and is probably about as Swiss as the watch is...dog smile.gif

Design-wise, it can pass. But fear of the unknown prevails.

Honestly? I'm kinda 'meh' on it. I too tried to search for the movement, but found no info. I think I'd pass.
