: The eta 2892-a2 is a $175
: movement

If you've got any spare cal. 2500Cs laying around, I'll take one for $175.

Considering that cal. 3135 is machine produced and machine finished (no special artwork here), I sincerely doubt they would cost much more to produce than a cal. 1120 or cal. 2500.

Further, if Rolex was a such great "manufacture", then how come we don't see them producing some new movements -- why let that talent go to waste? Rolex enjoys a mystique which perhaps justifies astronomical prices but obscures a watch which in my opinion is merely good, not superlative.
