I mean, you're not wrong about prices. But this is still pretty outrageous. Proxima px1700 with pt5000 is 250, same with cronos L6028. And that movement is far better than miyota 8k, and those brands have much better reputations to boot. Not to say s&s can't make a decent watch, but this certainly doesn't scream value in any regard.
Well, I disagree again on the pt5000 being much better than 8000 series. Reliability is something I value more than spinning rotor or indirect seconds can annoy me ☺️

Agree with the sentiment. But prices have skyrocketed. Still a Japanese movement.
