Two grand for a Sellita on steroids 45mm passing as made in Germany? I don't think so.

mdsubSorry, I wasn't going for clarity: you're good there. I should have elaborated. Glashütte has a pretty strict set of guidelines re 'made in' (parts finishing, assembly, engine, case, etc.) Though the base is Sellita, that engine has a fair number of proprietary features, finishes, etc. They use their own Mühle-specific 'woodpecker neck' regulation. As a company with a long history of developing gauges and instruments for many industries, they are finely-tuned beyond what you'd normally find passable in the marketplace—like a chronometre spec.—and all that is done in Glashütte/Saxony…by elves (kidding).

mdsubWell, that is subjective. Myself, I do. However, if you look at the market as a large enough sample of subjective opinions to make an effective 'objective' opinion, you will see that people generally look very favourably at this piece and many others of similar ilk. Because of that, it will hold a nice chunk of value to others. There is a nice balance of quality, innovation, practicality, and market 'cred' in a piece like this. If you are in the market for a rugged, different, and precise GMT piece, this is a good one.
Thanks for asking me and listening. Have a great week.
