[mention]DogOnTime[/mention] turned me on to this watchmaker. Super pricey I'm sure, but look at them!

I really like this one:

Does anyone know much about them, or has anyone seen one in person? Maybe [mention]Conchita Turtle[/mention] since they are located in Spain?

Far and wide I will find 'em and I ride 'em
Bricks and mortar get my licks just for kicks
AD or authorized I don't analyze
Retail, wholesale never fail
Online or offline, I find I don't redefine
Too big to fail or yard sale they all hale
Run or hide just for fun deals I find

Haha yeah I was going to make a comment about the cost. I guess one would always set up a Watchrecon notification. :)

I've seen them mentioned a few times, and in non-Spanish websites. It seems that they are based on some caliber from Omega's golden era. But they are soooooo high priced that they are obviously not popular.

From Barcelona there is an independent watchmaker belonging to the AHCI, Aniceto Pita, which is more popular among some fans, and has made some remarkable pieces for forums. Yes, I know that the name doesn't sound too good in English...
