    Well, if you've got some old 2xx series movements that you can't sell for much sticking them in an oversized gold plated case with a redone dial makes sense I spose

    Hopefully we don't start seeing buyers here that have paid significant money for them.

    Certainly worth the openers. Can't buy a parts movement for that.

    However, I wouldn't pay much more. Both movements have seen better days long ago.

    Cases and dials have a nice vintage look to them, and I like the display back.

    A more honest representation than the Ukranianmeisters.

    At least they state the case is a "custom"job and the dial has been refinished.
