...The guy didn't find any other competitor to Steinhart?
Also: A Steinhart worth half price after 10mnt you bought it?
Is this "Gregory" taking his nose out of his top range watches? I never saw that even in auctions on the net.
"Gregory" forgot also that it's possible to find an inhouse before to come to the top range and it's very high prices... Take a Nomos for exemple.
He also forgot that watches with cases made of massive gold with very low production are offcourse more likely going up in value: There's the "collector factor" and also just look how the gold value been raising the past decade.
Do like me and look on the net, there's some used top-ranged watch movements(Audemars,Lecoultre,Vacheron...) on selling and the prices is affordable for many.
The thing is that most of those mvts are tiny and don't attract people who want a bigger watch.
Personnaly ,I don't want a watch that's so little that it looks like a woman's watch and so flat that I have to blow my wrist's hair out of the dial when I want to read the time...
Seriously: Precision and durability in a movement is not automaticaly comming from the highest ranged trades.
Take a 6497 unitas for exemple: It will outlast your life time... For the precision, a proven 2992-2 COSC makes it as well.
Maybe this earlyer link from Oscar should help to find out about the precision and the mass-production factor within an affordable price....

Also, from my last reading in a very known watch magazine, an inhouse Piaget(Polo 45 model caliber 800P) had a "minus" because the precision wasn't so good compare to the price: + 5 seconds/day.
So let's not "peess" on the ETA mvts please mister "Gregory"...
Thanks for the link Neo!
