Higher-end watches using Swiss ETA movements usually start around $800 and go on up. An entry-level ETA movement is around $200-250 by itself.
Rolex uses its own in-house movements which are very expensive and accurate. They are known for the continuous sweep of the second hand which I really like. 
Lots of the other makers just use Swiss ETA these, however some have their own in-house stuff, like Omega's Co-Axial Escapement.
These are the two that I am considering... maybe as a Christmas present to myself:
OMEGA Watches: Speedmaster Moonwatch Co-Axial Chronograph - Steel on steel - 311.30.44.50.01.002
OFFICIAL ROLEX WEBSITE - Timeless Luxury Watches
Both would be around $7k so I am a little hesitant to spend that much. All I wear right now are $200-300 Seiko automatics. |
reported for spam!  oh wait...  hahaha
good info! i dont remember how much my orient was but it was more than the first one. the band on it broke while i was carrying my wheels to storage.

yah. the thing that concerns me most is the SSR GT03 im currently using on my G with brembo's is "hyper disc" for max caliper clearance, but it will not fit over the akebono's on my Z. so im like wtf does hyper disc mean then?? i want dimensions.

If I get in a fight I use jazz hands in my fighting stance. It's a confusion tactic. The opponent thinks, "is he going to hit me or is he going to kiss me?" If he's straight he runs. If he's gay... well at least you didn't get in a fight.
