MSRP seems within the appropriate range, not the best deal by any means but not egregiously overpriced either. Any more expensive and I would say otherwise but this seems appropriate. That being said at the discounted price I would say it's a great deal.

@@fergulator7297agree that invest in making a movement most probably cost $100m.. That a huge a mount of $$$$.... However, for after investing for the movement they will use the movement for all the production. N most movement are use for at least 10 year before they come out with a new movement. So if they make 100000 watch a year that 1M watches in the 10 years the movement are in service. That make it $100/ movement. So investing in making a movement compare to it ROI actually are not expensive.. $100m look like a huge chuck of $$$$, but if u break it down actual it is nothing.. It is just investment up front.
