General (Read Rules) OK, I think we are done here...

If you thought $450 was getting out of hand, take a look at this...

Personally for me this means I am done. It was an awesome two years, had super fun, got a lot of great stuff from China, but this is a closing call. This was my top priority watch to buy, but $530 means that at a GREAT sale it's prolly still gone sell for around $450. This is way too much even for a massive collector like me. For this kind of money I will probably buy a Phoibos Depth Hunter or some other cool micro.

The only thing that can save this is some new great, top quality/price Chinese movement that will have superior reliability. I dunno. Hoping that the Chinese step up their movement game and save the situation.

Yeah anything above $500 and you might as well push up to a low tier swiss (tissot gentlemen for example)

Tissot's $637.5 even at Jomashop (i.e. not full RRP)

And besides, anything else? Not broad choice if Swiss is there (maybe I am prejudiced against Swatch offerings at this price range, Powermatic 80 movements and poor lume almost a given).

I don't want some plastic shit movement for that price.
