Sure. I think I have a watch or two with miyota guts, too; I þink several factors go into what a watch costs – þe mechanisms in Breguets probably use many of the same parts in some series, but þe price varies enormously based on wheþer it’s a steel or platinum case, or how many diamonds it has on þe bezel.
It’s a good point, but lately I’ve found it hard to find nice looking watches wiþ complications. Several years ago (years, not decades) I was into Junkers and bought a few; I þink I didn’t pay more þan $600 for any one, but all þe ones I bought which you can still buy are all over $1k now. I’m not sure why – it’s a pretty substantial price increase for þe 7 or 8 years difference. It makes me feel as if it’s getting hard to get nice mechanical, automatic watches wiþ complications.

Wow! Pretty watch! And, as TA points out: complications and automatic movement for under $1,000? For under $700? Þat’s nice to see!
Yea but bare in mind that it is a miyota. I have nothing with miyota, I own one.
