So whilst passing some time searching for bargains on eBay, I spotted a Gervil GV2 X-Ray for sale ... It's an interesting piece; In fact it's one of few entry-level skeleton watches I like the look of! It's a bit Richard Mille. Not too sure whether the GV2 is worth £700-1000 (SH/New), but it does incorporate a modified ETA 2836 movement smile

So, has anyone heard of Gevril? Any good? What's the build quality like? Supposedly established in 1758, are they a serious watch brand? Here are some pics:

There is, or was, a connection to AP.

It seems as though the brand's pricing is all over the place headache The above watch retailed for $5400 (supposedly!), but I've seen it sold out on websites for around $780. At present, there is a shop in the US selling them for $1300/£830, but I'm concerned the build quality isn't far off a Tao International £60 jobby ... The only thing settling my concerns is the movement inside!

A link to AP, eh? ears
