The Road Through Britain: Robert Loomes 

What, 5-20K pounds for a refurbished plain old movement?! When you could get a few Bremonds with that money? I hope you're only joking.

You're probably right. You could get a vintage Smiths with the same movement in mint condition for £900 and a used or even new Saxonia by A. Lange & Söhne. In addition, I am quite surprised about that price since he was making so much fun about the expensive and flashy wristwatch of his customer. Not sure if his dials, case, and the engravings are so expensive.

I'm afraid so. Who in his/her right mind would spend £7,000-15,000 for a plain watch with a restored lukewarm-antique untested movement when he/she could get, instead, almost any watch from a highly-regarded manufacturer (e.g. Rolex, Breitling, Cartier, Omega) or - at a *significantly* less price - any mid-tier watch? It's a no brainer. These people are looking for victims who would fall for a false "nationalistic" sentiment, a marketing trick; as if Bremont, for instance, is not good enough. This is insulting and offensive to the consumer.

Ah Simplicity. Makes one want to visit the town. Nice content by-the-way EMKWAN - from the states.

Thanks :-)

Here in Brazil you gonna need to work for 10 years with a standard salary to get an Oris, Seiko watches is fkng expensive here, it's just ridiculous

god damn that's expensive

Haha :D For a micro brand watchmaker that makes most things by hand it is pretty okay, I think. But the main problem are the refurbished Smiths movements from the 1950s. You could get a vintage Smiths with the same movement in mint condition for £900 with the same movement. I only got curious because he brought up this 'for only £500' story from the history of his company. If his watches would have been around 1500 $ I would have certainly considered one. But I think the refurbished slow-beat Smiths movements are really not worth the money. I would rather buy a mint vintage Smiths from the 1950s. In addition, I am also about localization! I live only 40 minutes away from Glashütte, so I would rather save up for a Saxonia by A. Lange & Söhne. They also make their own movments and are proofen perfect & I will make even money down the line.

yeah, invictas all the way
