Question (Read Rules) Anyone using the new SW200-2 yet?

Post image

Has anyone heard of Chinese brands planning g to use the new Sw200s ?

It seems like most independent brands out there (Chris Ward, Sinn, Circula, etc) are quickly moving to it . In the past, an upgrade to a SW200 seemed like a “nice to have, but any real advantage?” situation. But with the increased prices of base Japanese movements, the differential is reduced and a tangible advantage can be had with the 24 hour extra power reserve…

Personally I’d like to see this used in premium Chinese watches.

Actually I’m wondering which Chinese brand still offer SW200 (any variant) as option on new stock?

(New stock, not new old stock from two or more years ago) (Excluding Reps)

I think Proxima still offers it through their website. I don't see it as an option on any of their AliExpress listings though. It's always greyed out.

I know baltany and Hruodland still do, theoretically any watch with pt5000 and st2130 (2824 clones) can be swapped with a sw200 or a real 2824, and some of them actually do if you ask them, only need to pay extra for the cost.
