This is probably an apt discussion, to make some broad points on the quality of tools supplied.
Specifically, we at Watch Bitz, supply 2 various spring loaded movement holders, and a pair of screw style holders.
None of these sell for more than $10.00.
We sell them in their hundreds (and obviously purchase them like wise!)
Now these suit 99% of the shoppers, 99% of the time.
However there are buyers who want and demand the very best...and are prepared to pay for it.
We can source and supply these more expensive items, and usually supply them at prices far below what is offered from stocking agents. But it does take us some time to obtain these items.
So if you have a bit of time available, and wish to save considerable $$, send your requests to us, and we will quote the item to you.
In a similar vein, a lot of these supposed "brand" name items are now being manufactured in China for the "high end" companies, and are sold unbranded or with other branding at far lower prices.
A couple of screwdriver sets we sell are classic examples, one sells as a $50+ /set under its brand name, and below $25 from our site...guaranteed its the same item!
Another $80+ item, we have for a little over $30!
Another large testing item,which previously sold for $1000+ is now selling at under $300...and I have personally seen these being packed into the high end manufacturers boxes! Same /same.
So all is not as it actually seems, either in the area of watches, OR the tools which repair them.
It does take some time and effort to sort the wheat from the chaff however.
This is what we do try to achieve for you guys.
Sorry to thread crap a bit here!
But I felt it was important that all the facts be known.
Please return to normal viewing.
