Sellita SW500 chronograph movement out?

[jj69]

I don't know if this is new news or not, but I was just browsing the Sellita web site and I noticed they now have the SW500 chronograph movement listed. You can download an 11 page complete parts list as a pdf file too. The pdf is dated March 3, 2009.

Does this mean these movements are out there now? Any idea if they're for sale to the public? Any idea of the price?

Wouldn't it be amazing if they priced these things at $199?

A friend of mine was talking with Sellita personnel at Basilea. It seems they will begin to sell the movements this summer. On the other hand, it is not clear if at the begining the movement will be available for final customers or only to watch making companies.
