Boschett Cave Dweller - PVD

[t8cmf]

I am looking for a new PVD Boschett Cave Dweller watch with the ETA movement (not the Miyota 8215). I'm having trouble locating this particular model as the Boschett website says that the watch is "semi-retired" whatever the hell that is.

Does anybody know if they are available new anywhere else or might I have to go down the pre-owned route??

Suspect you'll have to go pre-owned & be flexible about which movement.

I've not handled one, but I have heard poor feed back on the quality of manufacture with these.

I had one of the PVD ETA models with the yellow face, I thought the quality was very good, bracelet was really good and everything had a good even coating, my only gripe was that it was absolute murder to try and fit the additional rubber strap, I gave up eventually!

I didn't have mine for long purely for the fact I'm a constant flipper!

Used will be the only route I suspect, by semi-retirement that suggests to me that they may re-introduce them at some point in the future.................

Thats strange. The feedback and owners reviews of the Cave Dweller II praise the build quality and some say its built like a tank. Are you referring to the earlier version maybe as I believe a few minor issues from the CD I were sorted with the release of the CD II?

Mine was the CDII, no issues apart from the strap mentioned above.

I've got one of the original numbered limited edition ones (stainless). i've had no issues and yes built like a tank.

The myota movment is accurate and no issues. Its a hefty chunk of metal - mine weights in at 275g which is over 1/2 a pound
