You mean a minimum 30-40% markup in watch prices, so that sellers can give 'discounts'? Yes there are.....

Yes, there is a bit of dust on it... seems like the sapphire loves fingerprints / dust.
Other thing is it's not AR... perhaps should've requested as special order... oh well. Like it none the less
[EDIT] Hmm, apparently it does have an AR treatment... I'd hate to see it if it didn't!

Flat sapphire xtal, bought from yobokies, part of sellwatch's MO. It was $50, so all-told the Spork's worked out to ~$400.
The sapphire's got a very impressive lack of distortion... can read the 12 at the top of the dial perfectly basically until the bezel cuts it off. Sweet.

Time is free, but it's priceless. You can't
own it, but you can use it. You can't keep
it, but you can spend it. Once you've lost it
you can never get it back.

Wonder if there are other watchmakers that not only service but can repair and produce their own parts ?

It's more like a business decision than a technical one.

basically i think he only familiar with basic eta , seikos and rolex ba
anything else he dunno how to fix and also dont want risk / no spare parts
ie pin pallet movements , tuning fork , alarms, pseudo chronos, landeron / angelus chronos etc
