I found this on an International Seiko website. The price listed is in NOK and translates into $1188 USD for the MSRP or RRP as people call it in the watch industry.

All of that and the legal definition of Swiss Made is why I could care less for a Swiss made watch or movement. With the changes in Swiss law it has left small watch brands swinging in the wind with marginally designed movements with no new designs coming to them.

In this post Orion Watches talks about the movement that everyone is so excited about, the ETA 2824. He talks about the flaws of the design and how the Selita SW200 is no different. It's too bad though. As the post was about the LJP G100.

Which is why it sounds like he prefers the LJP G100. Which is based on the their sister company's 9000 series movement. And; from what I can gather, the Miyota 9000 series is a new design, not a refinement of an older design. He's not the only manufacture that seems to like that movement. I recently spoke to another company and he told me that they had a huge defective rate with the Selita SW200 movements but only had a 15% rate with the G100.

Seiko even came out with a new high end movement not too long ago (in movement years). In 2006 they came out with the 4L25 as high end movement to compete with Swiss movements. They didn't gain the market share they had hoped for. So, they discontinued this and other movements in the series by 2013. But, that doesn't mean that it isn't still available. This movement can still be found in the Soprod M100. They; Soprod, bought the right to the calibre from Seiko so they can keep on making it.

Even Cameron Weiss uses it for the base of one of his movements. And here's the best part of that. He's a Swiss Certified Master Watchmaker. He also went on to receive further certifications with Audemars Piguet and Vacheron Constantin in the US and Switzerland. He even worked for Vacheron Constantin for a while before starting Weiss Watches. I find it absolutely hilarious that a man with such strong Swiss training and certifications, has chose a modern Japanese movement for watches that bare his name.

The only true Swiss movement that I'm excited to own one day the the Frederique Constant FC-810. It's absolutely crazy what they did with this movement. It runs at 40Hz; yes 40Hz not 4Hz, which is 288,000 bph. And, it even has an 80 hour power reserve. 🤯
