I don't get how a set of filled hands and a clone movement in the Schaumburg justifies a $500. difference in price from the Triton and $800. more for a COSC SW200 ?...I'll wait to see the lume on the skeleton hands before I hold judgement but the eta alone would have me wearing the Triton 2000.jmho...hand6.gif
From what I understood, the SW200 got nothing to envy to the 2824-2 on it's mechanic: It's a pure Swiss copy with one jewel more: Can't hurt....?
But the Sellita didn't get the time to prove himself as long as the ETA and therefor don't benefit of the same reputation: Explaining the suspicious minds:D
Time will show! But I agree with you Oscar: The Schaum's price can't be justified there and whatever people think about the date window of the Triton, no date window is at it's best because it look like all date windows we been used to see since the day we opened our WIS eyes.
I like the fact that some fabricant try to break the classics even they will mostly recolt critics.
And circle date hole in the circle window would have look too much round-around maybe: It's ok like it is I say...
We need innovation sometimes: Not only copies or homages and this date window gives it...
The skeletton hands are great: Nobody says that they are crappy when they are on the Seamaster:D
But if Debaufre would have put a cyclop on the date, I would have been full of bad words
