I'm planning to make a watch, the case to a watch, i silver.
So, where can I buy a good working mechanical movement? Preferebly a valjoux, whithout a chronograph, or a something similar.
Regards, Bror

Wow, really makes you think about watchmaker mark-up when you look at the prices of raw movements. Retail prices for a single unit at that!
2824-2: $72.00
2892-A2: $165.00
7750: $322.00

Decoration does jack the price up a lot. But yes, I think watches have a ton of mark-up.  |
