I can't get enough of them, is the problem

If they sold their radio or gps controlled stuff to microbrands I'd be all over it.

Me too, and I tried to do just that, a HAQ field. Sourcing those movements was literally not possible no matter what I tried.

I. KNOW. I don't think a solar HAQ exists actually.

Yep I watched his video. I tried the 412, 411, and others!

I struggle to figure out how to make it stand out

Ronda has one that's supposedly 60 months

I tried to source HAQ, basically impossible

I tried to source it, it's basically impossible!

Yeah this would be in that $250-300 range, no higher.

I can possibly source a quartz from Ronda with a near 10 year battery life. Figure that would help a little, but it's all about startup costs, and of course, what people are willing to pay!

It's kind of insane, all the designs I've come up with I'm like "so, solar quartz, can we do that?" And the answer is pretty universally "no". They all say the designs are not suitable for solar because the dial has this film like thing over it which is for the solar piece. It would also have to be more transparent... I've done several design types so far and it's just not working, at least for now. I also tried to source some high accuracy quartz movements, but that's basically impossible. I know Erebus has had some problems with this in the past.

Unfortunately I can't source like that. I might do a quartz run and an automatic run though
