Private sale, very attractive prices. Little bit in doubt about inhouse movements though, also never bought from this website.

Y&B and YEMA are owned by the same parent company. I know that some of the automatic Y&B models use the MBP1000 in-house movement, but certainly not all of them do. The Tournelles, for example, use the Seiko NH70 skeletonized movement.

For some reason the code didn't work for me on this one. But it's possible to contact CS and have the issue resolved.

Haven't purchased anything from Purchase Direct myself, but they have this listed in their authenticity page:

I got the following response when I inqurired directly, they referred me to the same page, but then gave me directly conflicting information telling me that Junghans and Glycine, two brands I specifically asked about, that they carry the warranty themselves. I have asked them to direct me to a list by manufacturer, but I suspect it does not exist and the only way to find out is to inquire on a case by case basis.

I wouldn't mind doing that at all when I have some time, but I got an important update, that nullifies the last...in part...should I just delete my last post I wonder, as I think it might be a little confusing at this point...new message I just received below

"Hello Glen,

Sorry I was incorrect in my below message. Junghans and Eterna also come with a Manufacturer warranty. I just clarified with the warehouse.

Yes, when you have time, a post in the retailer review would be super helpful.

Good news that their Junghans and Eterna also come with manufacturer warranties.
