Wow! Nick your Asian watch collection is bigger than my entire watch collection!:shock:subtlelaugh.gif  The Deporte and Duboule are very nice.  I read a lot of things about Asian movements and it looks like they are getting better and better.  Seagull seems to be a company that will shortly give real competition to Swiss movements.

How is the precisions on those autos and mechanical watches???  Some people I'm working with bought replicas of known brands with Chinese auto movements and they would be very bad on keeping time (+2 or 3 min a day then -2min a day...) and almost impossible to regulate.  I guess there is also different grade in their movements?

Anyway, I think Asia is becoming a more and more important player in the watch industry.  I just wish they had more of their own original movements instead of copying movements (mainly Swiss) that  were developed
by Europeans for centuries.

For sure their prices are impossible to beat.  No matter what you're looking for: chronos, Tourbillon, retrograde or other complications...  Crazy what you can do with cheap labor...:?

Thanks for sharinghand6.gif
