WOW! An ETA movement for under 50 bucks....

Makes you wonder how much a Rolex movement, say the 3135, actually costs!!

How about a Unitas 64XX series movement (same as in the Panerai PAM111 and PAM186) costing US$75? I know they redo the movement and add the swan's neck regulator, but really... I've seen them on fleabay (movement only) for over $1,000.

JJ, my guess is a 3135 movement would actually cost less than $75.

Yes John with todays automated production yes the 3135,should not cost anymore than the ETA, Unitas,or Valjoux movements.After all they are mainly made with same materials except some of the Rolex parts are specially coated
