Just an observation on this watch, not seen many tachymeter bezels with 550 on the scale 🤔 normally start at 400 or 500? And units per hour script 🤔

It's because instead of having "Tachymeter" or "units per hour" starting at the 12 o clock position which means the counter starts 500 or 400 depending on the size of the text, Duchump have it at the 3 o clock position, which means they need to have the 550 to fill in the space between 12 o clock and the 2 o clock positions.
 
Is the Duchamp actually swiss made?

That one is, their other Grand Mont isn't.

Although it is assembled in Mendrisio, most of the parts will come from China (Case, bracelet, dial, hands and packaging), the only actually Swiss Made part is the Ronda quartz movement, that plus being assembled in Switzerland (higher labour costs) qualifies it to be labelled Swiss Made as it meets the 60% Swiss criteria.
 
Just sent a text about dimensions, lets see 🤔

That's one thing Kevski was good for, at least he gave more physical details about the watches than their usual watch shows. IW descriptions, seem to concentrate on colour, weight and worth ten times what they are charging. On odd occasions you watch diam and on very odd occasions depth, but you never get lug to lug size, band width etc.
 
Surprised Muriel didn't get a Duchump tonight - she's a big buyer of heirloom watches.

Mind you, she was in for a toothbrush and pan steamer set earlier in the day.
Don't know where she puts all this stuff
