New Aragon $350.00/ M50 Power Reserve Automatic in 50mm. Premium SII NE20 with 29 jewels. Numbered limited edition 100 units per color execution.


Superjet Premium SEIKO NE57 power reserve automatic frequency 21600 VPH; 29 jewels; 42 hours power reserve. With Iconic Silverjet linked bracelet. Debuts on Jan 16th 12 P.M. EST

 
:palm: $450.00 to $480.00 Pre-Sale Price:jaw: It's an NE57 movement with K1 crystal. That movement is roughly twice the price of the NH35/36. I'm not sure why the price is so jacked up.:banghead:

Basically the same watch selling for $149.00 except one is using the NH36 ($37.95), the other is using the NE57 ($74.95) That is only $37.00 more. The other difference is the NE57 series looks like it has a SS bezel insert.

I paid $299.00 for my Seiko Presage with the 4R57 movement. That is the same movement as the NE57. I mention this one because Wing uses Seiko as a comparison in the video below.

Movement: Seiko 4R57 Automatic (self-winding, hand winding, hacks)

I don't consider a $75 21,600 VPH movement, premium. Don't understand the pricing on these. I snagged a couple of the Superjets with the NH35 in them and i love them, but the NE57 versions at $450 - $480 is an easy pass. :bored:


I agree BBH. As far as calling it premium, he is probably just saying what TMI (Time Module) is listing it as. It is the lowest tier movement in that category. The M50 model using the NE20 sounds like it should be a good deal at $350.00 That is a 28,800 bph movement and they are not cheap to source at around $225.00.

I see people selling the Antigravity power reserve NE57 for $ 125.00. I'm pretty sure they had them for sale on the site for $ 188.00 or less direct. That's the one thing to always keep in mind with some of these watches. You seldom ever break even if you're a flipper, but paying some insanely high "sale" price compounds the sting even worse. Aragon was selling the super dome K1 crystal Antigravity NE57 on Evine for $139.99 and obviously still was making money. Trying to hammer the dedicated buyers for three times the price doesn't seem like a good sale tactic IMO.
