Not in the least. The only two options you gave me were I don't like the look, or I want one. I do like the look (not sure it would be my favorite of the possible combinations), but I would not buy one because it is quartz. I don't want CW thinking that if he makes one looking like you want that I am going to buy it. It might mislead him.Terminator wrote:That is a bit of a contradictory statement is it not lmao.joerattz wrote:Terminator, I just voted against your watch despite the fact that I like the way it looks.
It doesn't have to be that expensive. I am not saying that there aren't a plethora of 7750 watches in that price range, but remember that Chris is trying to be the cheapest quality watch. Not trying to dictate what his price should be for such a watch, I think it is totally feasible for him to sell one for £340. How did I arrive at that price? The current price for a C4 on a bracelet is £160. I know I can buy a Valjoux 7750 at retail price for $342 US. Here is a link:Terminator wrote:It is a nice thought joe but there is one thing wrong with that lmao. It would probably put you into the £1000+ bracket even for a stainless steel one.joerattz wrote:Now, if Chris were to put a 7750 in it, and I could swallow the price, we might be talking a different story then.

Now, that is for a plain 7750. I also see they have a prettier finished one for $469. But, since he is trying to be the cheapest, he could go for the lesser finished grade. Now, it is $342 for one at retail price. I am sure the price is a good bit better at wholesale price in the quantities he probably buys. In fact, maybe its feasible he can get the nicer finished model for that same $342 at wholesale in quantity? Converting $342 US to £ using the most recent exchange rate is £176. Add that to the £160 for the C4 yeilds a price of £336. Factor in he also saves the cost of the existing C4 movement, and the price gets even lower.
Therefore I think it is totally possible that he could sell one for £340, perhaps a little more or less.
Also, I have been seeing this on sale at ShopNBC for a few weeks now:

It is $699.95 US, which converts to £359.096, and they aren't trying to be the cheapest quality watch in the world, and they have several layers of distribution taking a cut. That is a sharp looking watch. Genuine croc strap, sapphire crystal, exhibition back, and its a pretty cool case too.
