Wristwatch collectors out there?

[ky70]

I was a "crazy" watch guy, I loved dive watches and mostly hoarded seikos and micro brands for the past 4 years. But I got tired of the hobby and sold everything I had by the end of 2012 and now I only have a pilot watch and 1 micro brand diver (Armida).

I've got on the Armida today...

Big watch. It has the main goodies you want in a watch. I wonder how long ago it was made? I thought ETA stopped supplying non Swatch brands. It could be that many manufacturers have good stock on movements still.

ETA stopped supplying unfinished movements to non-Swatch Group companies, they still sell completed movements. "3rd party" companies like Steinhart still buy and use them, it just means more work if they want to put out special editions with highly decorated and/or unique metal finishes in the movements as the movement has to be disassembled and refinished.
