I get that you're an affiliate vendor here, but if you've spent time on this thread or seemed to care about watches enough not to talk like a superficial ad in the customer service royal "we," I think you'd know that this isn't the place for that post.We love this clean intro option by Elevon to anyone beginning to build there watch collection

Not sure they would classify as great.Is anyone avoiding any purchase prior to SIHH and Baselworld ? Some great watches has been realised so far IWC Portuguese Chrono with in-house movement , Rado Captain Cook in Bronze , Longines Hydroconquest with Green dial. Really looking forward to see what Tudor does.

It seems like the trend is to develop and use in house movements. I’m sure it’s in response to market forces.
Personally, I don't really care about in-house movements.
Yeah I think I read on here in discussion of Bremont watches where someone said that they often LOOK very nice but they have the balls to charge $5000 for a watch with an ETA (?) movement which you can get in a watch for a tenth of the price under a different brand. When stated like that I eased up on my admiration and mild desire for one of theirs.The issue for me related to in-house vs. off the shelf movements is the huge pricing disparity among watches with very similar in-house movements. I don't have a problem with off the shelf, but I have a problem with off the shelf watches that have (IMO) artificially high prices. I think this is a big reason that for me, the $1,000 - $3,000 price point is a bit of a no man's land. Besides design aesthetics, I don't see much in that range that beats out some much less expensive models in the $500 range (e.g., Tudor Ranger vs. Hamilton Khaki Field).
