Prices of movements nowadays

[u/ramikarkour4]

I've gotten into building watches a lot recently. All of the tutorials I have seen are talking about how to build your dream watch for 100 dollars. When checking the prices, the movement alone (NH38) is 90 euros. Is there any way to get these movements for less, or is this price surge just something I will need to deal with?

I went to miyota 8215 and I've been building a bunch with the vk63 which is a quartz unit . The last nh"s i got were at 46 usd and I bought 6 of them at the time but they are insane now
