Thank you all, I will not be drawn further on this matter but politely suggest a simple search on the interweb will disclose.
I am also a member of the TRF, I remember a series of postings on that site that further explain
Based on other prices you see in Australia, I don’t think his second hand prices are as outlandish as people make out. You can find them cheaper of course but with a bit more risk and he has bricks and mortar to pay for.
Add to that, whatever profit he makes for his business is being directed into a developing watch manufacturing industry, paying for extremely expensive machinery and accessories, paying young people who are learning skills. If I pay a few bucks over normal "on-line" prices then I consider it well spent, not getting ripped off.
Is there something going on over there?

I suspect they have only scratched the top of the pimple.
To forum members who follow our journey with interest: here is a first short video in mini series titled "Manufactured in Australia". In essence, even a single watch part goes to number of design and manufacturing steps - from CNC and manual milling, turning, EDM wire cutting, hobbing to hand polishing, decoration and anodizing. Our next video will be more detailed, following a birth of a single part from raw material to installed and tested watch component. Thank you for watching.
