those were two rejected and discarded prototypes
I'm actually very curious and I'm hoping you know a bit about the grey market.
Are those even real "swiss made" movements that somehow didn't meet the grade? Or are they knockoff made in some far away Sandcastlistan? Are the Swiss factories nowadays so porous to allow the manufacturing rejects to reach the market?
I remember the derisive word "tandeta" from my grandparents, but what is the current state of the market?
Thanks in advance for your time.
