Just looked a Sierra Traing Post and see the Gevril GV2 Staidum (on rubber) is $2095 MSRP and for sale @ $999.99. And 2 years ago I got 2 of them there at about $450 for both (one on steel)! http://www.sierratradingpost.com/p/,1643D_GV2-by-Gevril-Rubber-Bracelet-Watch-Automatic-Swiss-Movement.html

I don't know...I haven't checked other places, but they used to be as cheap as anyone...I believe they are in the $550 range preowned at Watchseller.

Yea I got mine 2 years ago for $399 with free shipping. I wonder if they are still shipping in the big old Gevril watch boxes?

There are numerous sellers on e-bay, with the GV2 and stadium dials. I've noticed that the average auction price is anywhere between, $270.00 to about $400.00, A very nice watch IMO

They are not using the ETA2826-2 Day/Date movement...not sure what they are using but a date configuration only, with a 3 number appearence in a window between 4 and 5 with an arrow pointing to the date. Most that I saw were in the $475 to $575 range depending on strap. http://cgi.ebay.com/Gevril-GV2-Mens-Stadium-Black-Orange-Dial-4009R_W0QQitemZ320393408855QQcmdZViewItemQQptZWristwatches?hash=item4a98ef7157&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=65%3A12%7C66%3A2%7C39%3A1%7C72%3A1205%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50

every vendor has different prices...I paid $349. for mine 3-4 years ago and my Gevril AD is getting MSRP ...TJ Maxx is getting $495. so it is what it is just like any other watch...if anything I have noticed prices going down not up and vendors/ADs more willing to give better discounts ...shop around for the best price :D

Your right, the GV2's that are on auction are mostly with the Claro CL888, movement, date at 4-5 position

I have purchased a number of GV2's on eBay and all have been ETA 2836-2 or SW 200 movements and have never paid more than $500. Sammy has a lot of variations on the stadium design and what is available on the secondary market is whatever he is clearing out or what a dealer has had in stock for a little too long. Gevril is a fully Swiss made product or as Tim Temple says "Pure Swiss" so the CL888 movements used are not the Asian version. Gevril always puts out a quality product, believe me I know, I have over 25 of them and would not worry about getting the CL 888 in one of my next purchases since it, just happens to be a George J. Von Berg product.

This is what I know so far about the Claro CL 888 caliber automatic movement. In 1961 Georg von Burg founded CLARO Watch Co. in Bienne,Switzerland for the finishing of pin-lever movements and assembly of complete watches under various brands. Modern CLARO CL-888: CLARO-Semag is Fossil's Switzerland based in-house mechanical movement "manufacturer." Fossil produced a movement called the CL-888,which was used in the Zodiac Oceanaire Diver's watch,eventually the same movement can be found in several Fossil models. However, according to a moderator of another watch forum. He concluded that the CL-888 was fact a Tianjin ST-16. Which became the Tianjin Sea-Gull. Here's the kicker, the CL-888 only differs from the ST-16 in its finishing. It is likely that the movement was polished and decorated in Switzerland. What basically Fossil did was that they've turned a Chinese made movement and called it Swiss. This is not illegal,according to the Swiss Federation because it pushed past the 50% mark,in order to maintain a "Swiss" label. However, in order to get Swiss Made on the dial. The watch must be built and assemble in Switzerland, and it must past the 80% mark to achieve this level. Both the ST-16 and the CL-888 automatic winding mechanism,was patented by Seiko, the patent remained in until the late 1980's or early 1990's. Unless, Fossil had the movement built under an agreement with Seiko prior to the purchase of Zodiac Watch Co. Cheers, Simon Last edited on Mon Jul 13th, 2009 04:27 am by Simon_Leung |

I do not believe the 80% requirement is in effect yet.
